Two landscapes that are from an area I paint in. I was motivated to paint these as I love this area. Great place to stroll through to and experience wild life with in the city.

In 2012, my husband and I were at a yoga retreat in Tuscany. We stayed in an 800-year-old stone farmhouse surrounded by farm animals, olive trees, and vineyards - a very interesting place. One day a group of us went for a walk to this location above an expansive beautiful vineyard. I was inspired to try to depict the amazing scene.

I often walk in Assiniboine Park as I live not far away from it. This particular winter I came upon these footprints and was entranced by the beauty of the light and shadow, as well as imagining the animals and people that had passed through this part of the forested area.

This is a view from our exploration camp looking out onto Amisk Lake in Northern Saskatchewan, back in 1980. Just reminiscing and putting those old photographs to good use.

I painted this in the winter of 2020-2021 shortly after we had a huge dump of snow in Winnipeg. The snowplow had just come through and the sun sparkled on the snow and the houses in a fascinating scenario.

This scene is from a Mexican town that we used to travel to and spend 3 weeks of the winter in the sun. We met lots of beautiful Mexicans there. Many locals have only small living spaces with little or no yard, so hanging up clothes on the roof is a common sight. The colourful clothes dancing in the wind was a delight to the eye and an inspiration for the painting.

It was obvious in the first 15 minutes that this was the group for me: a bunch of happy people, enjoying each other's company and creating art. No judgements - just support and encouragement.
