It’s been a while since I updated my website but I have been very busy painting this past 6 months. Time to catchup!

Since my Art Show in January this year, I sold a number of paintings, did a few commissions and had some old art that was painted about 10 years ago, recently changed hands and is now in a private collection of a prestigious law firm in BC.

My painting topics have included Venice (street scene), Landscape (west of Chetwynd, BC), Tropical Fish and Reef, some more Steampunk images and more. I do bounce around theme wise but it’s worth it as I use new techniques and increase my skills. I still have so many ideas to paint so I will be busy this next few months. I am going to do another show this spring 2020. By then I will have about 10-12 new paintings available.

Christmas is coming and I have room to do 2 commissions between now and then. If you are looking for a custom gift for someone special, give me a call and I can work with your budget and theme.

Since starting work at the School District #59, I have been very busy and unable to teach classes like I would have wanted, but I will be available for private lessons in a person’s home or in my home. If interested, drop me a note and provide me with the type of training you are looking at and I will provide a custom outline for you and a budget.

This past 6 months was tough as my father passed away from Cancer. He was a painter and I inherited some of his paintings and in particular, a Harry Heine original watercolour that my Dad bought in about 1970. I grew up with this painting and it sits proudly in my bedroom. My Dad was an inspiration to me both as a father figure and as a painter. Between him and my brother David (a professional painter), my love of painting has really grown.

Lastly, I spent alot of time at the lake this summer and the picture attached is of me painting one weekend on the dining room table at our family home at Moberly Lake, BC.

Talk soon
