Beauty in my World

Location: Quispamsis, Canada

I am mainly a watercolor and Pastel artist but I am open to various mediums. I have been painting since 1992. I have travelled alot and have sold works and prints internationally. My works have also won awards. I used to be a member and for a short time president of a local art club however I found the Politics and Personalities interfered too much with my time that could be put into my work. I live on the east coast of Canada and I paint our local beauty as well as the Carribean and the Mediterranean.

Quiet Canal

This is another of my Meditteranean Moments series.

It was rare to find an empty canal in venice that had only boats with no people in them.

I loved the color of the buildings reflected in the dark merky water.

This painting is 10x14 framed 18x22 and priced at $625.

The Gondolier

This was my view in the Gondola I rode in for our day canal ride. I wanted to make the viewer feel they were seeing the Gondolier through my eyes.

We had also had a beautiful ride at night the evening before with an accordian player in our gondola but it was too dark to capture him on film.

Note there is also a Gondolier on the bridge in the background.

Waiting for a fare

When most people have seen this painting they think I have done a portrait of my husband Nicholas however as Nick points out this Gondolier has grey hair.His facial features are very similar though or I have been asked so much that I now see the resemblance.
