I live south of Halifax in a community called Ketch Harbour. We walk the barrens weekly and the raw beauty is stunning - in every season.
Blueberry fields in the fall are an extraordinary blaze of crimson and magenta. Oxford, NS is the wild blueberry capital of Canada.
If you know my story, you know that poppies in France were one of the first landscapes I painted.
Lupins exemplify resilience, strength and beauty. It is a joy to see them burst on the landscape, wherever they choose to grow. SOLD
Nasturtiums are always a part of our garden. Several varieties make an appearance - from trailing to dwarf. Their happy faces and gorgeous leaves delight all summer long
Green Vase - I can't remember where I purchased this small glass vase but every summer it makes an appearance as flowers start to bloom in the garden. Nothing prettier than a small collection of joyful, fragrant sweet peas.
Hopeful - is there a more joyful flower than tulips? I think not. When they poke their heads up out of soil, it heralds the hope of Spring.
"Tulips"
Painted these one dull day when the joy of tulips was exactly what I needed. 12"x12" acrylic/oil on gallery boardLate summer, the tall coneflowers and the lazy brown (black?) eyed Susans fill the front garden. The butterflies love them all. This is 1 of 5 'garden' paintings submitted to fabulously fun 2021 Pre-Shrunk show at Argyle Fine Art, http://argylefineart.blogspot.com/p/now-showing.html, opening January 29. SOLD
