My art in a clients home.



                                               These two larger paintings are a mixed media on canvas and are 4'x8' in size.  I really love to paint huge canvases.  I use a matte varnish with UV protection so they don't have a sheen or glare and really come alive in good lighting.

Lady Blue




I call this Lady Blue. This is acrylic on illustration board. This wasn't a planned painting. I just wanted to paint and so I started with a transparent pyrrole orange and she just emerged. It's going in for framing next week. 30"x40"
Owned in a private collection

oxidization



I call this painting "oxidization." This is acrylic on illustration board. The inspiration for this comes from the old farm machinery and how the rust shows through the old paint. 30"x40"  
This is mixed media on wood. The inspiration for this painting comes from seeing the sunset through the trees to the ocean from Naikoon Park on Haida Gwaii. It is not finished in this photo.




mixed media on canvas


This is an untitled canvas, mixed media, it's about 3' long. Is owned in a private collection.
30"x50". Inspired by the old paint on really old farm machinery. Mixed media on canvas. I used pumice and extra course pumice for the texture.
