The 30 paintings are made with some or all these natural materials: coffee, wine, beer, blackberries, beets, turmeric, paprika, chlorella, ochre, cobalt, charcoal, pen, collected ocean water, lake water.

Contortionists
~Sold!~ Thanks Erin :) Octopus are amazing contortionists. Contortionists was the theme for Drawing Club, and this is what I came up with. It’s a little painting, and in a different style from my other work on this site, but I have more like this to come. The boots are gold leaf. I love shoes…

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…

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 &…

One of the Guys
Sold! 29″ x 20″ Here they are! I love these guys, they remind me of my guys. But they are their own, and they are my parents’ friends. Of course this is from the 60’s, but isn’t it great how plaid is in again? That’s my Uncle Don on the far left, who I love…

Ladies & Gentleman
Traded :) 29″ x 20″ That’s my mom sitting between the ladies, with the pretty lashes. They are sitting on someone, but I don’t know who. My friend Regan’s mom is to the right, typically trying to scrape a mishap off her skirt. I like how the ladies interact with each other with contact and…

Model Car
Going no where fast! This one is made from an old slide of my parents’ probably from the 60’s. Not sure who is in the car, except the guy in the back looks like Danny Higgins, guitar player in my Dad’s band.
