"Rural Refuge"

"Rural Refuge" in times of Covid

Isn't it amazing that during these times of lock down and separation from others, we've received such a picturesque sunny, snowy winter.

I venture out almost everyday on foot or snowshoes and travel throughout our vast treed property and beyond. My destination is always this beautiful scene, traveling down the hill and reaching the glorious babbling rapids. Sitting in the snow amongst the brilliant red dogwoods, I sense peace on earth!

Happy New Year means so much more to me this year than it ever has in the past. I’m excited for a new beginning for all of us! 

I’m ready to plan for getting new works that have been inspiring me in my mind, to make it to the canvas. 
 

Last spring as new growth was appearing in our country side, I spent many hours walking through our bush on the farm and contemplating and noticing the colourful vegetation surrounding me. From the interesting fallen ash trees to the sumptuous mosses, I was searching for uplifting signs, and they appeared all around me!

As we all make the most of this “ winter  lockdown “, I’ll be busy in my studio recreating the subtle colourful and invigorating scenes still so vivid in my mind.

Happy winter!

Good morning everyone,

I hope you're staying well at home and keeping a positive outlook on life!

I've been fortunate to be able to spend lots of time pondering over painting and creating. Sometimes it's tough staying motivated I must admit. I find my underlying mood creeping into my work. I'm trying to let what comes out onto the canvas become a clear reflection of how I'm feeling and to just let it be.

In my recent painting " Oblivious Optimism",  the mood I'm feeling is evident in the background and throughout the textures placed on the gnarly old willow tree. Notice the happiness you felt when you saw the Red breast of the Mother Robin, the warmth of her nest and those amazing Blue eggs!

We don't need to feel despair, only hope! If God will see to the needs of a robin, of course he will look after all of us!

"The Pathway to Lavender" 

Because so many have enjoyed my River Birch series, I have created another one.

This newest painting is a scene of beautiful river birches inspired by the grove across the road from my home. The eye is softly led to an area of subtle wild blue lavender, bringing you a sense of peace and tranquility.

This painting shows my longing for a happy scene in times of world turmoil due to the Covid 19 Coronavirus outbreak.
