This is a 12″ x 12″ acrylic painting on acrylic linen paper. It was inspired by The Blackfriars Bridge in London Ontario – so I called it “The Bridge”.

But I went, I forged ahead. 🙂 The first day was so exciting, we set up and took turns wandering… Continue reading Thank you Steve Plunkett!

But guess what?!?! I have two very special upcoming events to share with you! The first… Continue reading Long overdue update!
Hello and happy end of January! (Well almost…) It is bitterly cold here, but beautiful! I have been spending a lot of time painting…and I think I’m going to spend a lot more time painting as well.
