Soft colours yet with a hard black line to give it boldness and contrast.

I am continuing to explore a limited palette with contrast and energetic marks on the surface of the paint. Surrounded by blue skies and the fading leaves of fall I am inspired as I look out my studio window at the cottage. Nature never stops being inspirational.

I was inspired by thinking about the colour of spring. The bright yellow green and the blue skies that you can see through the trees that are just starting to leaf out. I was in my Studio in the Woods but it was in the winter. I was trying to imagine spring. Although this piece turned out to have more blues than greens, and perhaps be more watery than like the growing spring buds, I still think it has a feeling of energy that we receive in the springtime. It has many layers. I used many techniques of applying paint and then moving it around, pulling it off and covering it over in an attempt to stay loose and not too attached to any one stage.

Vibrant colours in a vertical format can fit small corners. This painting has a contrast of dark with bright, with soft undertones and dramatic large shapes.

This painting has a nice see through effect from some veiling over the top. Blues and greens are calm, yet with a little surprise of the orange color.

This piece is very dramatic. It has very loose vibrant marks on a dark background. Main colours are pink and medium green.

A soft background of green and blue, with a bold loopy yellow line over the top. Dramatic yet subtle.

This piece used to be called One Direction, but with a little more energy, brighter colours, but still a solid shape to anchor it, it is a strong piece. The composition is somewhat lopsided, with the bulk of the interest on the left, but with space to breathe on the right. We all have our strengths, but also our soft sides. This painting speaks to both sides of ourselves.

Hearts and flowers is a very wild painting. It is not for the faint of heart. What started out as a soft landscape painting was painted over with complementary colours of green and red, which really make each other pop. This is an exercise using mixed media, fluorescents and graffiti. It's very contemporary.

Bright, fluorescent energetic painting.

I was enjoying how the bright green shone so much more out of a dark background. I have been trying to keep loose in my recent work, but I have also gravitated to square, oval and triangle shapes. This piece is not typical of my work, but I have enjoyed the outcome. This piece can also be hung vertically

This piece is about drama, simplicity and contrast. The green and blue tones are very soothing. There is lots of space allowing the shapes to breathe.

Simple shapes and lines in grey and turquoise on a large white space. Sometimes I enjoy keeping it simple. I enjoy just the colors, the textures and some energetic lines.

It seems to represent two sides of life - the gloom and the flip side, where we find hope, in spite of the gloom.

This piece can go along with Dichotomy or with Jumbled Up hung vertically.

Abstract painting with a loose feel, but also with some specific shapes for interest. Colours pink, yellow and turquoise primarily.

This was a many layered piece that started out as circles printed onto the panel using parchment paper. My process is intuitive, involving lots of back and forth. I added some collage that looked like the sun, but then it was too obvious, so it got pushed back. This piece is lively, yet the colours are analagous so they provide a gentle, calm feeling. I hope this piece brings you both energy, from the lively marks and calm from the soothing colours.

The painting's name comes from the spring green colour palette combined with its complement - red. It is like looking through the trees in early spring.

The piece is called air, because of its airy, open feel. It is like a long exhale, relaxing and comfortable.

There are two pieces, each 30” x 30” on pine board. I’ve used acrylic paint and some oil pastel primarily. I spent more time at my cottage while we were in the pandemic, walking my dogs every day and enjoying the sights of nature. Nearby we have a marsh that I like to observe. Looking through tree branches in the fall at the morning light is what inspired this piece. Each piece could work independently, but I think they work best together as a diptych.

Moody Blues has soft shades of green and blue, but also has some odd shapes, an off kilter composition and bits of yellow and orange poking through. The fun and quirky bits might have something to do with my rebellion against the grey days and dismal news that we hear daily. Making art brings me some happiness, and I hope you share my sense of humor when looking at this piece.

This is a wild and free painting of orange, pinks and turquoise. It has a horizontal presentation but is fairly narrow. It could hang over a bed or a high buffet or dresser.

Red storm has drama plus. The strong red shape on top of a very subtle painted background of green and light yellow is very striking. It adds just that touch of red to pick up on any accents in a room

Contrasting red and green marks flit across the wood panel with childlike freedom. Although the marks are energetic, the colors are, perhaps, more masculine and serious.

This piece of art has many layers. It is transparent and is connected by two black circles. The layers and the ability to see through provides some mystery. Although it has high intensity colours, they are pushed to the background by more neutral colours so it works well with any type of decor.

Busy and Boing are two pieces that work together. They have vibrant energy and contrasting darks and lights in blues and pinks.

Freedom is depicted using movement, scratches and loose marks, yet there is a boldness in the dark wine colour and light yellow oval, which gives the painting gravity.

David Hawkins, author of “Letting Go”, says “Letting go is like the sudden cessation of an inner pressure or the dropping of a weight”. He teaches how to let go of negative feelings and blocks and to unlock our innate capacities for happiness”. This painting typifies my process of letting go of a plan or an outcome, and just engaging with the immediate canvas and next steps to making a painting. I am hoping to take this practice back into my life so it can be as free as my art.

Ice cream colours, swirling lines and energy reminiscent of a child’s colouring makes this a dynamic piece. It pairs well with "In the Moment".

This piece complements Oh What a Feeling. It also uses a simple palette of yellow and blue and energetic marks on the canvas.
