Family Portraits
Painting the people I love has been one of the greatest pleasures of my artistic journey.
Notes from the studio
Journal
The artwork, the process, and the stories along the way.
Pumpkin Art
A family Halloween tradition grew into a collection of backlit portraits for the neighbourhood.
Memoriam
Portraits that keep loved ones near, and the moments that taught me how much a painting can mean.
Life Drawing
What life drawing taught me about observation, letting go, and stepping outside my comfort zone.
Still Life
I thought still life would be boring. Boy, was I wrong!
Island Dancer
The energy and colour of a festival performance, held for a moment in oil on canvas.
Impressionists
Exploring light and colour through studies of the painters whose work makes me happy.
First Skate
Auston finding his feet on the ice became a painting about family, childhood, and the bay.
Rainy Street
My first painting became a thank-you to my mother and the start of a much-loved hobby.
Santa Claus Cards
How one Santa painting for family cards became a Christmas tradition.
Bell the Beaver
A rescued neighbourhood beaver inspired a painting and a way to support wildlife.
Chris' Artistic Spark
“You can’t teach me. I’m too old to learn!” The challenge that started my painting journey.
