I have lived on Vancouver Island for many years. The moodiness of giant trees, the shapes of the land at low tide, and ever present sea, shapes my life and my brush. A balance between colour and composition are foremost in my mind as I paint. Unlikely colours next to each other establish the mood and power of the work. I like the lively feeling of motion or contrasting brush strokes. These strokes sometimes lean against palette knife edges, occasional organic objects, to emphasize texture.
