Watercolour Paintings of BC West Coast Scenes
Fog at Dusk
A waterfront, I’ve noted, is one of the most interesting expressions of the action of humans on the landscape. The interface where the land-based activities of humans meets the supremacy of the sea unfailingly hosts docks, ramps, sea-going vessels old and new, well-kept or derelict, or somewhere in between. “Four Winds” rests comfortably tethered to a piling, those creosoted, gull-capped posts designed to hold everything together.
This stylish old vessel is not active, but not yet consigned to the beach.

Pacific Coast Tidepool
A central image of the tidepool surrounded by scallop, frilled dogwinkle, moon snail, and other shells, and even a teredo tube eroded out of the log within which the creature once lived show and celebrate only a tiny portion of the vast variety of sea life within and around the Pacific Coast tide pool.

Low Tide at the Burdwood Beach *
Moments of bliss while engaged in painting are forever and indelibly embedded in my mind, as well as appearing on a piece of watercolour paper. Playing with colour and light as the tide falls while I paint on location at the Burdwood Beach near my home, the luminousity of the colours inspired the way I used the water, pigment and brush to express my joy in the moment.

Treasures of Spring
Since I was a young painter I have loved painting bouquets of daffodils in the spring. Yellow and blue with a sprinkle of pink seems the perfect colour combination as the daffs and the flowering current sparkle in the greens. Favourite things...an antique perfume bottle found on the Burdwood Beach, moon snail shells, a bear claw and my treasured string of trade beads all symbolize aspects of my life story.

Hidden Shell Beach *
Another of the sweet coastal secrets are the numerous white shell beaches signifying a homeplace or food-gathering site on one of the many small islets scattered throughout the Broughton Archipelago. Often these places are tranquil, rich with edible seafood and plants. 16 x 20 Museum Quality Framing, 2017 $795.00 |

Grizzly Bear Picnic
Since discovering the remains of a gull in a pile of grizzly scats, I've carried in my mind a painting.... of a family of these bears surrounded, by a border depicting some of the great variety of food items upon which they survive.

Dusk at Gwaysdums Village *
The boat is safe on the beach, the old totem stands, wings aloft embracing the dusky light as evening draws near. The muted evening colours lend a mysterious quality to the scene.
