This piece was derived from drinking too much wine and having a giddy moment; thinking how grand to be that age and still love being together in such a free way. A private cottage moment! Cheers to them! lol

"CURRENT ASSET"
Lobster boats from the wharves off the Northumberland Strait, Pictou County, Nova Scotia. This image I created from the memories of the boats that used to set their lobster traps about 50 yards off shore in front of our cottage. I'd watch them early in the morning over tea and again in the afternoons in June and September.

"ROUND ISLAND LIGHTHOUSE"
MacKinac Island, Michigan, USA.
The movie video "Somewhere In Time" with Christopher Reeves and Jane Seymour was playing on the t.v. and this scene played where they had a lunch on Round Island where this lighthouse is located. Very romantic! I froze the movie at this scene and didn't include the actors in the painting. Apparently not many people visit this spot as it is difficult to reach these days but the scene lends an aura of total solitude which is so enticing after working all week!

"FORGOTTEN SWEATER"
I like the idea of an old relic of a boat in the marshes where someone was walking and rested, leaving behind their sweater, and a shell they picked up along the way. In the distance are the modern boats at a nearby marina. There's a certain beauty in blending the old with the new.

"AFTER THE STORM"
Blue Rocks, Nova Scotia
Many Sunday afternoon drives have taken us to Lunenburg and its surrounding areas; one being Blue Rocks. We love the quaintness of the village and the beauty that it holds. This painting is from a picture taken one afternoon after Hurricane Juan had done its terrible deed. The boat shed and wharf were totally damaged but have long since been repaired.

"PORT BOUND"
(Nowhere in particular)
This painting is from my imagination. One morning I just felt like starting a piece with no image in mind at first and then this picture just started to unfold. It is of no place in particular, but I like to think that these people are port bound.

THE THREE CHURCHES, Mahone Bay, NS.
As always, an artist loves the challenge of buildings near water for the purpose of shadowing. I've always wanted to paint this scene as it is one of my favorite places. These churches have always stood as sentinels, keeping a safe bay! I painted this as a very overcast day allowing the colors of autumn to spring forth. I hope you enjoy!

SOLITAIRE
This painting was created from a picture taken just a few miles away from Blue Rocks, NS. This poor soul looked so lonely while he was waiting for feeding time. He was very close to the shore so I wanted to paint the canvas as all water so as to concentrate on the Blue Heron.

VENETIAN SUNSET
The light in these far away places is so romantic! I thought I would try this image from a picture a friend had taken while travelling to Venice in her early years. She had told me that it was the most romantic place she had ever been and that everything there was so old that you couldn't help but feel the past history of the place.

THAI FISHERMEN AT DUSK
The idea for this painting originated from a picture our daughter had posted on facebook in one of her albums regarding her travels through Thailand. I loved the dark formidable sky and the the sun just setting white on the water silhouetting the boat and fishermen as they bring their boat loaded with fish and nets ashore. I really enjoyed creating this painting. Hope you enjoy!

CONTEMPLATION
Many times I have walked along a beach an seen an expectant mother far away in thought. I've often wondered what her thoughts might be; was she thinking names, can I do this, how do I tell them, am I doing the right thing, I can't wait to hold him/her, Oh my Gosh Twins!, and so on and on. There are a million thoughts that could be going through her mind. Therefore, I named this painting "Contemplation" which speaks volumes. I thought I would put a bit of drama in the background as well with the ominous clouds and dark horizon. Maybe she's thinking of better days ahead!

This scene is a culmination of two different ideas. Why would you ever see a big truck in such a small area? Well, that was my dilemma at first and then I thought why not put a tractor pulling a boat for maintenance elsewhere. It seemed more feasible. I enjoyed working the sky and water with hues of lavender and pink. It seemed to bring the scene to life.

In 2013 at The Great Little Art Show in Avondale in June, I painted this piece of the view to the side of the Avondale Historical Museum facing out toward the Avon River. I thought this little home made boat was just the ticket to put into the scene. Actually, it was there, the day I took the picture. I have since spoken to the gentleman that built it.

This is a culmination of about three different ideas put together. A little boy with his puppy out fishing where they weren't supposed to be. The wharf is old and falling apart, but the little boy is having a wonderfully, peaceful afternoon fishing with his dog and well, the dog doesn't really care where he is, he is just happy to be with the boy. I loved this idea.

The Big Swim was a commission in November 2017 for a Christmas gift. It was a pleasure to paint this as my husband and I were witness to the preparation of the swimmers and kayakers partaking in the race at 6:30 a.m. on a stormy day in August 2017. As it turned out, the Swim was cancelled at 10 a.m. Maybe next year.

- I love lighthouses. They are becoming a thing of the past but every once in a while you will see a community that has kept its vigil in maintaining the structures and continuously restores them to their original beauty. I hope they never die; its a part of our maritime heritage.

Peggy's Cove has always been a favorite haven for me to visit. It is very relaxing watching the waves rush the black rocks out behind the lighthouse, especially during the off season of tourism. lol This is a thriving destination throughout the Spring and Summer months into the Fall with tourists from all across our globe. I had an opportunity to sit at the mouth of the Cove and paint for two days. What an experience! I hope you enjoy the result.
