Here is a new miniature painting fresh off the table: Island Shores (measuring a tiny 1.75 x 5.25 inches small).
This scene is of the east coast of Gabriola Island, a truly wonderful place to visit and walk around. The many layers of beach debris, driftwood and stone make for a pleasant afternoon of beach-combing.
These flower doodles began as a series of mini mandalas, or possibly medallions, but eventually morphed into flower designs, a sure sign I had gardening on the brain.The colours I’ve used here were inspired by a lovely black cushion embroidered with red and green threads. What colours will you use?

Quilts are fabulous, so many colours, designs and themes to play with! And since I don’t have time to work on all the quilt designs I come up with, I’ve decided to turn some of them into colouring pages. Here is the first: Flower Patch
I’ve included two versions of this theme. I used blues and bright colours, what will you use?

This little painting was fun to do. “Afternoon At The River” is a tiny, 2.5 x 2 inch miniature painting of a favourite place to visit in Pitt Meadows, BC. I’ve included a series of images illustrating how the painting came together. The image is painted in acrylic, on a paperboard surface.
Colouring is a great way to relax and de-stress. The beauty of it is that you don’t have to be an artist to enjoy doing it. There is no right or wrong way to colour. Doodle with a pen, or use coloured pencils, crayons or whatever is handy, and make your mark. I usually start my workday with a hot beverage in one hand and a black pen in the other, drawing patterns and squiggles just to get my creativity flowing. And colouring is a nice way to unwind at the end of the day. So if you like to doodle, or colour, but want some help to get going, then feel free to use these line drawings as a starting point.
“Colouring Pages” is where I post free drawings that you are welcome to print, colour and doodle on for your own personal, and hopefully relaxing, use. Sometimes I’ll post a coloured version of the image to illustrate what I did with the line drawing.
There are several images available on the left side menu. Please check back to see new images posted.
This dragonfly drawing was inspired by my dear friend Nicola and our shared appreciation for these lovely creatures. Here is how I embellished it with felts and pencil crayon, how will you colour it?

Here is a new miniature painting of the train tracks near Transfer Beach in Ladysmith, BC. Two little mule deer are heading off into the bushes at the side. This tiny painting measures only 2.25 x 4 inches.
Thanks to Peninsula Gallery, some of my miniature paintings will now be available with small frames. These frames fit comfortably in the palm of one hand and measure only a few inches in size. This waterfall scene is one that I painted from a trip to the Scottish highlands a few years ago, and is available at the gallery. The featured image for this post is a scene from Ladysmith, which I was working on during the demo last weekend, and will be sending to Peninsula Gallery soon!
