Sybil's Garden - Acrylic


I used to belong to the Thursday Group. We
met at the home of Sybil Andrews, one of the original members of the Futurist Movement in England.

Phil - pastel

Did this a few years ago. Phil was a great model, could sit for an hour and never move - amazing.

Bates Beach Boat - Watercolor Collage

Took a picture of this boat half filled with water on a winter's day. I struggled with the negative space so reverted to collage and it became a fun painting.

Arbutus Study #3 - Acrylic

Being surrounded by a group of Arbutus trees is a delightful experience, the color and form are very inviting.

Down's Point - Acrylic

There is an artist preserve on Hornby Island where this painting was inspired. The ocean winds transform the trees.
