"Resting Place"

This beautiful bird passed through our yard a while back. Not sure where he was headed, or from where he came. We did enjoy him for a short while, till he started on his journey again. Wishing for you safe travelling too as you head to and fro this summer!

"Barn" 6 X 8 Oil on Panel

Being That it is Stampede time again, I thought this barn scene was due! Be sure to check my older posts, and see if you can find the cowgirl on her way to Stampede! You know when you've found her as she is the one in the 10 gallon hat!

"Unity" Acrylic on Canvas (With Susan Harris)

"Unity" is a piece that I was honored to work on with Susan Harris. Susan is an amazing artist, friend and member of the airdrie 7 group. We were asked to paint live at a Women's Conference. We did this painting working side by side, and switching sides as we worked. It was quite the experience. Women came up afterwards and told us all the excitement and emotions they felt as we worked on it. Others came up with their own interpretations of what it might mean. We hope you enjoy it too!

"Sunflowers" Watercolor on paper 2004

These Sunflowers were painted in a class I took from Gwen Day. She is an amazing artists whom I admire. There were about 15 of us in class and all of these turned out so different. This was one of the first of many of my Sunflower pieces. The Croft Gallery, then in Calgary, Ab, saw these and asked me to do a "Sunflower Show" for them. Thanks, Gwen for inspiring me! I haven't stopped painting these Beauties since!

"Venetian Glass" Watercolor on Paper

As you can tell, I love Sunflowers! It is said that the Sunflower's head turns and faces the sun all day long. As a believer in Jesus Christ, my job is to face the Son all day long too. He is the one who helps me paint and do all things. One day we will all have to face him so why not now? The apple at the bottom of this piece represents each one of us as "The apple of His eye" I feel its a bright, cheery piece that beckons you to have the dinner set for friends or family to come and dine!
