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 have been having a busy, productive week. I have been quite busy myself preparing for my upcoming show this weekend at the Ottawa Art Expo.
I also just finished a painting for the show. "The Little Trattoria", 30 x 40 cm in acrylics. This is my 2nd version of my trattoria painting that was given to my husband for our 10th wedding anniversary for our love of travel, Italy & their trattorias. It is a popular painting and I thought I would do a second "original" version. Wishing you all a wonderful upcoming weekend and Happy Halloween.
