The subjectsI choose to paint what grabs my attention, what I consider important and what brings me joy. And If it's bright, and colourful, it's perfect for me to paint. If it leads somewhere else, be a river, a backalley or a hiking trail, it's for me to explore and give it my visual interpretation. I may add movement and shadows, play with the forms and the colours until I like it and I have shared my first impression.

The materialsAcrylic paint for its bright colours and flexibility. I can't stand waiting for paint to dry so acrylic is perfect. Canvases and hard wood craddle boards work for me, from large enough format you feel like entering the painting to small lively rendition to inspire a little.

As is or custom madeMost of my work is about what I like to see on canvas but every so often I will paint what you would like to see. So I do commission work. Just ask me.

My work is up at Hillside Winery (Bistro) and Bench 1775 winery for the 2020 season! Please go enjoy a wine tasting at both those fine wineries!
I am presently showing at Tutt's Street Gallery, in Kelowna, Okanagan Art Gallery (OAG) in Osoyoos and Tumbleweed Gallery, in Penticton.
I will have 2 free demos at Opus Kelowna on March 22, 2020. Come and check it out! 10:00 to 11:30 am and 1:30 to 3 pm.

A big welcome to Elizabeth Bigg, Penticton's new animal control officer. And see below the two murals she so easily convinced me to paint for free to continue her Penticton Dog pound beautification project. The murals are approx. 6 to 8 feet wide by 5 feet tall and painted with commercial paint kindly donated by True colours, Benjamin Moore paint store in Penticton. Another mural painted by Barb Hoffer is also on display.
