Miniature Painting demo at Gallery 8

Spring is almost here! And so is the 8th anniversary show at Gallery 8, located on Salt Spring Island, in mid April. I’m working on several new miniatures for this show and will be doing a demonstration in the gallery during the opening weekend. So if you’d like to see the show, or chat with me and try your hand at painting in miniature, stop by for a visit. Dates and details to come, so please check back. 🙂

Happy New Year!

Happy New Year and all good things for 2017! Chilly January days mean hunkering down in the studio and exploring new ideas and planning for the year to come. The gray rain and muted landscape are beautiful for winter photo shoots, but mainly they serve  an excuse to drink copious amounts of tea and be cozy in the studio.

I recently painted this little miniature as a nice reminder of warmer days and the sunshine colours of summer in BC.
