"West Coast Wave 1"

The movement of the ocean waters never ceases to please my spirit. When the waves are small the ocean  is ever changing and always beautiful. This painting shows well with West Coast Wave 2.

"The Sandcastle Show"

This painting was inspired by the wonderful display of art executed by the builders of sand castles in British Columbia's coastal towns. And by the playfulness of the people who come to admire them and each other.

"Morning has broken"

"Morning has broken" is a view from a waterfront property where I was cat-sitting one winter. The cormorants came every morning and evening, after fishing for their sustenance, and spread their wings to dry. The driftwood was located in a a perfect spot for me to see from the window. 

"Whale song"

This painting was inspired by a wonderful whale watching trip to Telegraph Cove on the northeastern coast of British Columbia. We saw many Orcas and ever so much more. As the captain wove in and out of fiords, around coastal islands, and through the straits, we came upon pods of whales, communities of sea lions, groups of dolphins and sea birds including Bald Eagles, herons, terns and cormorants, to mention but a few. The naturalist on board our ship was Jackie Hildering, a Marine Educator/Biologist living and working out of Port McNeill, BC, Jackie put us in touch with important ecological facts about the ocean. The wonderful underwater photographs (taken by Glen Miller), her scientific demonstrations of what humans are doing to the ocean, as well as enthusiasm and knowledge will stay with us for a long long time. After our Whale Watching expedition we travelled on to Port McNeil and then, by ferry to Alert Bay.

"Good Morning Mount Baker"

In the winter, especially, Mount Baker stands out as one looks east from Brick Yard Bay, a park at the southern eastern end of Fairwinds community in Nanoose Bay, B. C. The small islands, in the expansive waters of the Strait of Georgia, are peppered with cormorants and are home to many Bald Eagles. I have attempted to show the beauty of this place which I call home.
