Supernova

Another girl with sunglasses. This is my new favorite. It is watercolor on clayboard (aquabord) by Ampersand.

Girls in Sunglasses

I did a series of girls in sunglasses this past year. They were done on Aquabord which is a textured clayboard.

The effect is similar to a fresco.

Summer Shades

Shaded Beauty

Through Rose Colored Glasses

Vermeer's Coffeepot

Steel Pan Player

This musician was at the ferry terminal in Vancouver. The painting was done as a pour- I did layers of resist/masking fluid to save the white of the paper or the color I want then I pour liquid watercolor across the paper. Then the hands and face were painted.

He now uses the image for his business card.

Story Time

Underwater Hide and Seek

Fairy Garden

This is a painting that I did for a product package. It is a fairy shadow that can be staked in your garden. The website is http://www.oldevictoriangardenshadows.com/.

Winter Alphabet

B is for Boots

These images were done for a toy company but the project is on hold at the moment.

The Attic Room

This painting was published in Splash 10: Passionate Brushstrokes from the Splash: The Best of Watercolor Series.

Cowgirl

This is a more recent illustration done in the past year. A modern cowgirl. Watercolor on paper.

The Fox

I love this guy! I would love to do a whole series of illustrations based on him.

Snow Dreaming

I took an illustration course at the New Hampshire Institute of Art before we moved to Victoria. In that course, I had to create several illustrations based on different stories. For this painting, I used my daughter as my model. She has darker hair but chose to make her blond for the illustration. I often take it to my shows and most people seem to recognize my daughter in the painting. It is my modern matchstick girl.

Passion For Poinsettias

A company in LA saw my last image of the dinosaur and hired me to do a painting for their Christmas card. This is the finished product.

Look What Followed Me Home

I have always loved dinosaurs and at one time wanted to do scientific illustration of dinosaurs. Would still love to paint more of them.

The Bubblemaker

I decided to start my illustration blog off with this painting because it was one of my first watercolours. It is of my son and was done about 7 years ago.
