August 3, 2022 Today I dropped off four of my paintings in Waterloo, Ontario. The location is a cute little gallery named ‘The People’s Gallery’, that is part of a well-stocked artstore, on 91 Caroline Street. I wish we had an Artstore like that in Milton! I depend on regular arts and craft stores for my general supplies… Read More »
July 26, 2022 I am currently busy with an interesting summer course. It will take me right to the end of August so not many chances to do other than the homework. I will of course share the results when it is all done. I can tell you that it looks promising at this time, but we are… Read More »
July 11, 2022 I wish I could claim that this was based on one of my own photographs… but it is not. I took a series of phone pictures during a television documentary about the North Pole a while ago, as inspiration for a future painting. The other day, when I was playing around with paint pouring, the… Read More »
July 9, 2022 A good ten years ago I had the good fortune to spend 3 years in Bermuda, when my husband was temporarily employed on that beautiful archipel of islands in the Atlantic Ocean. During my stay, I became a part of a small art group and had a lot of fun playing around with (mainly) watercolours.… Read More »

So I need your help to find out what it is that YOU see in these two new artworks… so that I can come up… Read More »
June 16, 2022 In the last few days I felt like doing some small projects. I am getting ready for a new large wildlife portrait of a feathered friend. So I decided to get my brushes wet with some small bird projects and practice for it. My photo archive contains so many bird photographs, that I had trouble… Read More »
June 15, 2022 I recently vacuumed and organised my artspace, so that I would have a clean start after my recent artshow. Now the studio was safe again for the cats. They love to come to the basement, but I hardly ever see them. No idea what they are up to. But today was different. Suzi, our ginger… Read More »

He will be happy to spend some time with you and nod regally… And he… Read More »
June 12, 2022 This week Google presented me with ‘a memory’ and it was of a picture I took some years ago at low tide on a beach of the Atlantic coast. I remember that it was a cloudy day, a little bit glum, and I was the only one out there, because nobody seems to appreciate the… Read More »
