A new block painting fresh from the studio: Island In The Sun (18 x 24 inches), acrylic on canvas. This is a loose rendering of Saltspring Island and the beautiful Pacific ocean that surrouonds it. My newest piece is being featured tonight at Gallery 8 on beautiful Saltspring Island for it’s 17th aniversary show and the show will run for the next three weeks so stop by if you’re in the area and have a peek!
Hi folks, I’ll be at the show opening on Friday night at Gallery 8 (Nov 28) on Saltspring Island! This is the gallery’s annual small works show where my small painting “Radiant Bear” and miniature “Winter Walk” (which I don’t have a picture of yet – sorry!) will be featured. These larger paintings will be there too. The opening is from 5-8pm and lots of fun so come by if you’re in the area and say hi!
This is another large piece that was a lot of fun to create. I love the possibilities that abstracts offer for interpretation. Are they flowers? Trees? Giant leeks?? 
“Into the Garden” (30 x 48 inches), acrylic on canvas:
I’m happy to share that all of the paintings are now up and online to view and the show will run through to July 11th. I’d like to send out a huge Thank You to everyone for your very kind encouragement, it has been an adventure!

After many years of studying and painting external landscapes it has been an adventure of a new kind to reflect on the curious nature of internal landscapes and what existential aspects of them might look like painted in a simple form.
Block paintings – What are they about?
My purpose for this series of paintings is to create an expression of the dynamism of the human spirit (represented by the circle) as it navigates a journey through the experience of life (represented by the blocks). The black line surrounding all objects signifies the great mystery that holds things together, and yet separate from each other, creating a perfectly imperfect motif of existence and what one makes of it.
Below is one of the images from my new series for the current Spot Light show at Peninsula Gallery in Syndey, BC. The show continues to July 11th.
Journey (30 x 40 inches), acrylic on canvas.
For anyone who’d like to see some of my non-miniature artwork, here is a peek at my new show opening on Saturday, June 15th. I often paint tiny miniatures and large abstracts on the same day, switching between the two for a nice change of pace. Thank you to Peninsula Gallery for hosting this show, it was a lot of fun to do. I’ll be in the gallery on Saturday from 11am – 3pm for anyone who wants to stop by and say hi!
