Soft Spring


Soft Spring, 12" x 12", acrylic on canvas, SOLD

This painting is similar to Sliver of Light a few postings back in that the focal point is the large middle ground devoted to the sea.  A bit of an unusual composition.

Luminous


Luminous, 12" x 12", acrylic on canvas, SOLD

This painting was an attempt to capture luminousity in the sand and tidal pools.  I think it came out quite well.

Golden Treasure



Sliver of Light, 12" x 12", acrylic on canvas, SOLD

I like the capture of wind in the grasses in this painting.  It is sometimes a challenge to have them flowing just right.  Though the sea and sky calm, the grasses have movement.  Also i am always entranced by that little sliver of light visible on the horizon.

Island Home


Island Home, 12" x 12", acrylic on canvas

I took the photo for this painting on Denman Island looking towards Hornby.  I have painted so much FROM Hornby, it was good to get another perspective.  Denman Island much over looked has a subtle beauty itself..these flowers were gorgeous!  Anyway my foray into art auction life continues..and is quite fun, but for some techno frustrations..its always good to learn new things.
