Looking back, looking forward-

Morning light in the living room. I should use my camera more. It makes me happy.

Another painting I will be putting in the shop. The colours here are hard to reproduce with my camera.


The siting woman is an image I have borrowed from ancient Greek art. It has to do with death, and in my mind with moving on and change, leaving something behind and being thankfull for what is passing before you embark into the new. 
And again, living in Vancouver and being surrounded by water as we are, has been an amazing source of inspiration.  I am sure I have not finished with trying to put the sense of being here into some sort of pictorial form. It appears that I am at a time in my life where I need to experiment, which is probably why I haven't been posting too much. Sometimes what happens in a lab...! has to stay in the lab!

Thank you for all your comments about the book. It is always so heartwarming to read your thoughts.
Hugs-
