Fall Virtue

Artist Notes on this Piece  

         To date this is my favourite piece. I suppose at some time a new favourite will reveal it self. I painted this as an exploration of orange energy. I have always been a blue moody type of person and have never really liked orange. Orange is a joyous energy of abundance  that I desired to integrate into my own spiritual energy. After painting this lady I kept wondering who or what she was. An Angel or a Goddess I was not quite sure. I have settled on a Virtue which is angel from within the many ranks of angel beings. Virtues being most responsible for the processes of earth and nature. In my life I have had the need to come to terms with the natural cycle of life, it’s ups and downs and its natural way of re growth after destruction. I am  now choosing to see possibility in all phases, even loss and death

The Road Home

                                 Artist Notes on this Piece   

         This painting is a special one for me being one of my favourites. It was a whim one day to do a landscape. I had tried one a few years ago , needless to say I painted over it. I thought I’d never try again as I hate failure. Well I had recently viewed  “The Secret” and go this idea of painting a scene of where I wanted to live.

             It was not my intention to create art for anyone but my own subconscious indulgence. I have dreamt of having this view from Island View Drive near Big Bay Ontario  from my own home ever since I have moved to this area in 1989. So here it is on canvas and to my dismay it is art. I ended up selling it even before it was dry.  Someday I’ll try again to capture my hearts desire. My best works of art come from my attempt to manifest on canvas my desired direction in life or  my own personal growth and influence.
