Bloor and Yonge at Night


Toronto's Hot Dog Stands, providing a focal point on many corners in town, are more visually appealing at night. This corner, at Yonge and Bloor, is now undergoing huge changes as a new delux condo project replaces the old cluster of shops on the southeast corner, just behind the ever present Beck's taxi.

Kennebunkport Afternoon

A perfect spot to watch the seasons change in Maine.

Casablanca Lilies

Florals and still life are classic favourites for most artists.
The challenge with these lilies was the fact that they continued to open throughout the painting.

Unlike adults, children never hesitate to stop and ask questions about my painting. Both surprised and delighted when I ask if they'd like to help me out, they take the task very seriously!

Plein Air Painting

I love painting outdoors. During my first summer in TO, I discovered the beautiful old Victorian rowhouses of Summerhill, former railroad workers' cottages surrounded by lush gardens and wrought iron fences
