As Time Goes By  - 18x36 - Oil on Canvas
Como Pasa El Tiempo - 45x91cm - Oleo

In the last year or so I have gotten into the habit of trying the same subject several times, different formats, different sizes and/or palettes and I love the explorations this sends me in.... it’s always a road to new discoveries but most of all it satisfies my curiosity when I say for instance ‘what would it look like if’.... I’m always curious... this particular painting was inspired by a watercolour I did on the boat last year, tried it an 8 x 10 oil, then said, what if I do it square, oooohhh I like this, I want to make it bigger which turned into what if I try it long and skinny and voila. That was a bit of the thinking process behind it. I like this format! And doesn't it look good in that room?? Hope you like it!

Estos últimos años me he puesto en el hábito de tratar el mismo tema varias veces, en diferentes formatos, diferentes tamaños y colores y me encantan las exploraciones en la que termina… Siempre es un camino hay nuevos descubrimientos pero más que nada satisfacer mi curiosidad ya que digo por ejemplo como quedaría si… Siempre tengo curiosidad... Este cuadro en participar fue inspirado por una acuarela con gouache que hice en el velero el año pasado, despues un óleo de 8 × 10, después dije y si lo pinto cuadrado?, ooohhh me gusta, lo quiero hacer mas grande, y después me pregunte y si lo hago alargado? Ese fue más o menos el proceso 😂..... Me gusta este formato! Y no queda hermosa en esa habitación?? Espero que les guste!

I'm excited to be part of the 2018 Winter Small Works Show at the Massey Gallery at the At Gallery of Greater Victoria. I have 3 pieces in it, one of the was Sitting in The Morning Sun which I shared with you a few weeks ago. 

I attended the Opening Reception and it was great to see so many people there.  I think it's always interesting to see how different styles can hang next to each other so well. Mine are the rectangular seascapes which were painted on the boat last summer during our adventures in the Broughtons. Show is on until Jan 31. There are so many treasures for you to enjoy (and take home if you want ;) Make sure you stop by!!

Estoy contenta de participar en la Muestra de Obras Pequeñas de la Galeria de Arte de Victoria. Tengo 3 cuadros incluídos en la exhibición y uno de ellos es "Sentados en el Sol de Mañana" que les mostré hace unas semanas. Fui a la recepción de apertura y fue buenísimo ver tanta gente ese día. Siempre me parece tan interesante ver cómo trabajos de distintos estilos se complementan en exhibiciones. Los míos son los 3 paisajes de mar que pinté este verano pasado en el velero durante nuestras aventuras por la Broughtons. La muestra corre hasta el 31 de Enero, pasen a verla! Hay muchos tesoros para que disfruten y para que tal vez se lleven a casa. ;)

Last Early June, I went painting in the interior of our province as I have done the last couple of years. This particular afternoon had busy skies with a storm that kept skirting around but didn't get us! It only started sprinkling a bit as we were packing up!

A comeinzos de Junio fui a pintar al interior de la provincia como he echo estos dos ultimos años. En esta tarde en particular había una tormenta dando vueltas que al final no se largó! Solo empezó a gotear un poco cuando estabamos juntando todo al final!

    I am an artist living in Victoria, BC, Canada. I love to paint the beauty around me, capture moments and memories. I paint because the process gives me immense pleasure and joy. I paint because it allows me to remember places I have been to, moments I have lived. Just like music can in an instant transport you to a different time, my art has the ability to take me back in time and place and put a smile on my face. I paint because it allows me to imagine my next trip or my next walk in the woods. It mean it to be an invitation for you to pause and just simply enjoy the moment. Hope you enjoy my art!
