I love painting flowers in jars. The jar often turns out better than the rest just because I actually have to suspend my own ideas and paint what I actually see. I paint all my flowers from life.

Wild Iris

These beautiful irises grow wild by a tidal pond in Prince Edward Island. I painted it while sitting in a kayak in East Point.

Here's a little scene I captured today in front of the Empress. I like the happy and relaxed feel of this little scene. It would make a nice oil painting I think.

Holland Point Scribbles

When the weather gets warm again everyone loves to get out to get some sun. I love capturing the sense of community in all sorts of creatures.

Sometimes I begin my sketches as scribbles and then look for the right lines and angles to define the figures.
