Our summer had a bit of a late start, with draught, and then cold weather, and for July and August, here in Southern and Central Ontario, we have had a lot of rain, and when it isn’t raining the heat is pretty intense! I have also not been in the Studio much since mid-June. TooContinue reading “August 2021 – a late start and super hot!”

Red Fox
This red fox was one of my most popular images over the holiday season. I love foxes, and we used to see so many here a few years ago. I am hoping they will return, healthy and beautiful very soon. This Red Fox is available in the Shop, in a small poster format, 14 xContinue reading “Red Fox”
The New Studio
I downsized and moved my studio into storage last December. I was having a new, small studio built on a wasted space on my small property at home and it had not been completed yet.

Aftermath of the Big Downsizing Sale….
I ended up having a 3 day sale. Some people wanted to come on the Friday as they had a full weekend. And Sunday we had freezing rain that left everything with a hard coating of ice. But, lots of people came to the Studio! It was lovely! Many pieces flew off the walls, andContinue reading “Aftermath of the Big Downsizing Sale….”
Getting into downsizing….
Today I have been having some fun. I started the morning in my Studio by stripping off some painted canvas from wood stretchers in order to re-use the stretchers. I have quite a little pile happening. But then quite suddenly the scissors were in my hand and I happily and very busily spent the lastContinue reading “Getting into downsizing….”
Downsizing
This year I have decided to be firm about down-sizing. I have started by my decision to move my Studio home. This is always a tough choice for an artist, especially when they have had a good space to work in. And my space has been a dream space! Lots of lovely windows, niceContinue reading “Downsizing”
It’s that time of year again (and too many Social Media platforms)
Hello everyone! I have been quite absent all year, content to post on Instagram, which shares on the side panel of my pretty empty Web page/blog.

Weather and deadlines
February has been balmy, a few warm rainy days and then back to bone chilling mornings and slick ice. It is around the time when I really want to stay at home, duvet pulled up over my head, hot water bottle at my feet and have no commitments at all. But that isnt real life.
