Welcome to my Studio Blog
Take a peek into my studio and See what inspires me to create my paintings and what’s been happening in my studio and on my travels.
I love to travel, see new places and meet new people. I love to create bold colourful paintings, many of them based on my wonderful travels.
Hi Everyone, hope you all had a great weekend. The weather was gorgeous here in Eastern Ontario - Ottawa. Summer is back with temperatures of 30+. Swam, worked outside and made bbq's all weekend long. Have to enjoy the last bit of summer.
In the meantime, with the influence of summer, I did a few rough sketches for some new small painting ideas I have for my upcoming shows in Ottawa. I bought these wonderful little frames in birch wood and some 8 x 10 canvases and thought I would so a slew of small beach/marine related paintings. Pefect little gift ideas for decoration your bathroom, etc. Here are the first 3 ideas I have. I am hoping to work on 3 more ideas and hoping to finish these on canvas by the end of the week.

My painting "Orchid Oasis" 30 x 90 cm, acrylic
Colours, lines and shapes are vital elements in all my paintings. I am particularly fascinated with orchids and I wanted to capture their intriguing shape in a bold composition with an oasis of twilight colours. My wish is to have the audience experience the energy of colour and harmony that transcends in this painting.
Hi Everyone, It was has been some time since I last blogged or have done too much in my studio. After my big mid July show in the extreme heat wave in Montreal I decided to take a few weeks off. It felt great and I am totally regenerated and have lots of new ideas and inspiration for some new paintings.
Last weekend on Sunday, August, 8th my painting "Les Couleurs de Provence" was in an exhibition at the Shenkman Arts Centre in Ottawa. It was a beautiful Vernissage. The exhibition "An Artist's Point of View" will run until September 28, 2010. Here are a few pics of the event.
