  • Sock Hop

    Mom’s Christmas present, 14.75″ x 15.5″ It’s my mom and Aunty Dolly (Deloris).  They are dancing in the living room it looks like… the floor in the photo is actually plywood.  My mom and dad are excellent dancers, swing dancers, jivers, you know the style.  I love to dance too, but I am a free…

  • Wedding Bells

    I am kinda cheating cause this painting is from a long time ago.  I just realized it wasn’t on my old website.  I made a few, all very large, black line drawings (with paint) on Canvas.  I think they were about 4′ x 8′.   I think I sold this to someone out of Rebel Rebel.…

  • Wishes

    Birthdays, I wanted to make my best friend cry with glee.  Success! This is the first time I have mixed my 2 styles together, nutty little illustrations with photo images.  My friend Regan was at my forth birthday party here.  I had some old washed out photos to work from to make this painting for…

  • Heel Boy!

    Sold :) Brand spankin’ new at Rebel Rebel, I painted it up for the show last night, which was awesome by the way.  Great turn out of great people.  Randi from Ora Bags was amazingly smart and lovely, we made a trade: she took Ladies & Gentleman, and I got an awesome original, reused leather,…

  • Rec Room

    ~Sold~, 21″ x 18″ If you bought this one, you’re awesome!  and could you put your hand up?  I was paid for it, but whomever sold it, forgot to write it down in ‘the book’ :) My mom’s sister Adeline and my awesome Aunt, here with her kids Shaney Boy, and maybe “Keena or Danielle. …

  • Tuning Up

    ~Sold!~ Oh grandpa, I didn’t know you for too long, but my memories of you are very fond. My grandpa and music… double the LOVE!  I was so happy to find him tuning this little child sized guitar, I painted this twice. The first one I painted is similar, but from another photograph.  I had…

  • Love

    Happy Birthday Frank Love! Frank can’t be with us to share his birthday.  He would be 70 today.  In this picture, he was 17, in Toronto Ontario Calgary Alberta (oops) when someone snapped this street shot.  I painted it up for Adam this Christmas. Adam (his son, my boyfriend), apparently adopted his pa’s style when…

  • Stay Golden

    I wanted to give my very special friends something very special for Christmas… man, giving art is risky business too, cause you never know if they are going to really like it.  Pretty sure I got the gold though (I hope). Yes that is a golden horse, like the right idea on the right path,…

  • Rebel Horse

    Commission for Claudia & Erin at Rebel Rebel. Well unfortunately, because this painting is 4′ x 7′, I found it very hard to get a picture of it, in focus. The image I was given to work with is from an art gallery in NY.  I guess they weren’t supposed to take pictures of this…

  • Dweezil

    Dweezil sweet puppy!!!  Xmas gift part 2… Yes that’s Dweezil after Frank Zappa’s son’s name.  My Brother is a big fan of Zappa and this puppy is awesome.  When you turn up at the door, he runs at you in the shape of a horseshoe he is soooo excited.  So cute, cuddly, submissive and silly. …

  • Brew Buddy

    Xmas gift for my big Bro and Sis ‘n law… part 1 Awww Brew… we all miss you, you were the best. I wasn’t sure my brother Leon liked the paintings for Christmas, so I asked my dad what the scoop was.  He said Leon liked them, just he couldn’t understand why I would paint…

  • Teen Town Reunion

    ~Sold~ Mary & Henning are dear close friends of my family.  Henning sadly passed away a few years ago.  They are pictured here at the Teen Town Reunion in Port Alberni. Teen Town was an alcohol free youth dance club from the 60’s.  It played a large roll in the lives of kids from Port,…

  • She’s Out Back

    For sale $275 at Wilde and Sparrow Awesome stubby beer bottle, stunning lady, great leggings.  I wonder what they were talking about out there, that fresh summer evening, smoking and drinking… If these were my friends now, discussion would likely be the state of the world, group gossip & drama, or the wicked meal we…

  • Perfect Day

    Sold and lives in Alberta now. I had planned to paint this image for a long time, so when this piece of wood came along I saw it fit my image perfectly.  The waves of grain mimic water, the grey decay added to the falling shadows on that sunny day at the lake. For sure…

  • Dark Wedding

    ~Sold~ Yolaine’s lace dress is one of the most interesting and beautiful dresses I’ve seen.  I flew to Montreal specially for her wedding to Olivier.  I thought I’d be alone wearing black at a wedding, but it turned out quite the opposite occurred.  The majority of us wore black, and that just made the bride…

  • Blue Eyes

    ~Sold~ I promised myself ‘NO MORE PORTRAITS’, then I painted this one.  There’s no sense resisting.  My friend Regan does have the most killer blue eyes.   Even in black and white, I knew they would be piercing.  But I thought the title could be interpreted as being ‘blue’ or feeling the blues, or ‘black &…
