July 13, 2024 It feels so good to be back at painting! And much to my own surprise, it is a landscape. Or should I say: ice-scape? It is my take on what happened this winter in Port Stanley, a charming little village a stone’s throw from our house, at the edge of Lake Erie. It was a… Read More »

November 1, 2023 This morning on the first of November, I woke up to a garden covered in frost. The first efforts to produce snow were thwarted by the relatively high temperatures of the past few weeks. Tiny snowflakes fell, but melted right away when the sun got up. But I am sure nature will not give up.… Read More »
October 20, 2023 I cannot believe that it has been 2 months since my last post. Today I realised that it was high time for an update. I have been struggling with health issues that have prevented me to paint. And oh how I miss it! To make up for my long absence I am posting a photograph… Read More »
