Current Exhibition: "My Spirit"
(Canada House Gallery, Banff Alberta - opens March 20th
2004 - works available now, online)
"Winter Fields Waiting
For Spring"
24"x30", $2000.00 cdn (Framed)

I painted this piece in my car because it was drizzling
off and on. The largest size I can work on inside my
volvo is 30"X30". I lay a drop sheet over
both front seats and then scrunch up with my legs under
my body. I have the water dish in an awkward place and
my brushes on the dash. I have the palette with all
my colours in one hand and the canvas lies at an angle.
It is a bit of a squish, but it works. There is something
very cozy about creating such a nice warm spring like
painting under these conditions. It is so much better
than working in the studio. The field in the upper right
hand corner is the field that I did my mother and child
field art project. It was a temporary event and it was
after I completed this one that I decided to do a permanent
peace sanctuary. The art project that was made with
the hay was fed to the cows!
