Watching the World Go By - 24x24 - Oil on Canvas Mirando Como Pasa el Mundo - 60x60cm - Oleo SOLD "Watching The World Go By” came from a small plein air painting I did about a year ago during a long weekend out on the boat in Portland Island. This is a marine park close to Vancouver Island which is one of our favourite places to go for a short day trip. We just love it there, we have spent many many hours on that island and on its shores. We have take countless of guests from all over and shared its beauty. We actually have “our own beach” 😂 on the island, that’s how we refer to Arbutus Point in our family, sometimes even frown when we get there we see other people!! Ha ha! All ferries between Sidney and Vancouver and other Gulf Islands always go around it which is why you can just sit and ‘Watch the world Go By’. So glad that both, the plein air and the studio piece, sold at the ‘Oh The Places We’ve Been’ show. This new collector wanted to keep them together so bought both! Thank you Sabrina and Josh, hope you enjoy them for a long time! ***** "Mirando Al Mundo Pasar” (60×60cm, óleo sobre lienzo) se originó de un bosquejo que hice hace un año más o menos durante un fin de semana largo en el velero. Es de la Isla Portland que es un parque marino cerca de la Isla de Vancouver que es uno de nuestros lugares favoritos para ir cuando hacemos un viaje de un día. Nos encanta ese lugar, hemos pasado muchas muchas horas en sus playas y en sus aguas. Hemos llevado a muchísimos invitados de distintos lugares con los que hemos compartido su belleza. Tenemos “nuestra propia playa” 😂 en esa isla, así es como nos referimos a Arbutus Point dentro de nuestra familia. Todos los ferries entre Victoria y Vancouver y otras Islas del Golfo pasan siempre alrededor de esta isla por lo cual es muy fácil sentarse y “mirar cómo pasa el mundo”. Estoy muy contenta de que los dos cuadros se vendieron en la muestra de la semana pasada. Estos nuevos coleccionistas querían mantenerlo juntos, gracias Sabrina y Josh, espero que los disfruten durante muchos años!

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! Archives
