I know, I know, I'm always talking about the beach. But see what I find there. Beach valentines. And the colours! Wearing lots of green beach jewelry lately. When I swim it wraps around my wrists and tucks itself into my suit so that I find it when...
Sometimes when I'm not sure about the painting I can still enjoy the palette. This is a big one, 30" x 40". I have to do some more work on the middle of the flower. It was a bit fiddly and made the spots behind my...
I think this might be a stinker but I'm not sure. I can't seem to give up on it. It's a little guy again (but wait till you see what I'm working on now!!!), as you can see by the bumpy canvas surface (should I...
Teensy things. Nice to get in so small. I love those teeny polka dot crabs, although this one has had a bad time. The white dots are actually specks of sand. I worked on a bigger canvas, 16 x 20 I think. Sometimes I do wish...
I'm never sure if I've finished a painting or not. I guess it's finished for now....

Here you have the model, hanging out on the set, getting ready. Here you have the painting. (Another little guy.) And here is the sad sad ending for the model. But only sad for the mango. It was delicious for us! Hey, by the way, does this look like a...
I was a bit out of sorts from a much too early waking, so I painted myself happier. A few little guys. Blue seemed to be the colour of the day, and I must have been feeling a little square. First one: needs something. But mostly...
It's sort of like a rough 'spot the difference' isn't it? I had a short time to paint the other day, really really intent on getting back into the swing, and I revisited an old shot of Long Beach, by Tofino on the Island. Just quick and dirty....
Yes, I got a bit of time for painting!!! Just a few hours but more to come!!! This is on Thormanby island, looking west. All about sun, sand, and sparkly water. Not a very big painting, just 8x8, but it felt so good. I'm very impatient to get back to...
