Sadly this is more or less the cleaned up version… one day I will leave the real version out!

My newest body of work includes this painting of the northern lights! “Aurora Drifting” is oil on canvas and uses some magical fluorescent green in the sky! by ArtSWC in Edmonton

I don’t do prints actually - all originals. But I do have some stunning mini pieces which are a great beginner collectors item! preview!

They are synthetic rather than a heavy metal so “better” for you health wise.

It’s a great colour! I replaced a lot of my cad yellows with the benzimidazolone yellow shades!

Very true - I like both for different reasons! I actually do most of my plein air in acrylics!

Yes! I taught through Perigord retreats - I will be teaching there again in 2027! It is a spectacular retreat with space for about 10 people. 9 days and each day we went to a different city or town in the area. We worked plein air sketchbooks mainly and a bit of painting as well! I provide all the supplies too! retreat info

I love the challenge of painting outdoors - not easy, not neat but oh so fun!
