Mostly, I paint Structural Hard Edge Abstracts, measuring, taping, and applying acrylic paint vigorously on huge canvasses.
Then, it’s time to gaze out from my balcony, towards the west, overlooking English Bay , where all the international ships are waiting to unload or load up their cargo.
The back drop is the snow capped North Shore mountains, Bowen Island and stunning evening sunsets, which inspire me to pull out my watercolours and quarter sheets of Arches paper, run upstairs to paint plein air alla prima, that is on location, all in one go, real fast! The shifting clouds, tides and light wait for no one!
This is my third year of organizing the successful MID MAIN ART FAIR at the classy Heritage Hall in the center of Vancouver ’s unique shops and restaurants.
I’m pleased and honoured that almost all the award winning artists have returned year after year. It is here that I will be premiering my BALCONY SKIES and SHIPS IN THE BAY.
