Just Loving You!

There's a song by Jenn Grant in her CD "Compostella" and it's beautiful... "No one's gonna love you quite like I do..... no one's gonna love you, no one's gonna love you like I do....."  the lyrics keep playing in my head as does her beautiful clear voice.  I sat creating the painting of these birches while listening to that song and her CD.  Here's what happened when love happened! This painting raised $700.00 in a silent auction on Friday evening to help the Royal Ottawa Mental Health Center.  Thank you to the buyer for helping such an important place.  The ROMHC is a place of hope when people don't think there is hope left.  It's a place to heal for those that need help with mental illness.  Lucky to have this in our community for anyone that needs this life line.  I am honoured to be able to help.

Birch Beauty

Acrylic on canvas -- 16 x 20 -- SOLD 
Birch trees are one of my favourite trees....there's a spirituality, a life force that I feel when I am out in the woods where Birch trees are....They whisper, the dance, they shine in the sun.  They are strong and grounded.  Birches are beautiful!

New Beginnings

Happy 2015 to all!

I have come back to my easel.  I have spent many hours with myself in my studio and let the colours and the music wrap itself around me taking me to places where I love to explore more with paints, colours and mixed media.  Time flies when I'm creating, painting and exploring with art -- doing what I love! 

A:  Artful
R:  Regenerating
T:  Time  

So here I am and hope you'll join me in my dance as I get back into the swing of things this new year.

This painting is acrylic on canvas.  A peaceful place, a happy place -- The Cottage.
