Inspired by New Zealand

We were enthralled with Hobbiton and other Lord of the Rings filming sites when we visited New Zealand. This is just the first of a series of Hobbit Houses. Each has been given a personalized touch, in watercolour, and can be further customized by adding YOUR name to the mailbox! Originals are $350.00, and prints will be coming soon.

Currently on display in Waterloo at the Button Factory (Waterloo Community Arts Centre)

Latest Paintings

I spent much of the winter in Florida, exploring some techniques in painting with watercolour, and teaching a group in Leesburg. It was great fun to be a teacher and a learner. Acrylics have once again taken hold of me, with their rich full colours and the ability to blend and change as the painting progresses. Some of the latest works:

Georgian Bay 17"x21" Framed watercolour $225.00

Birds on the Florida Beach Framed watercolour 21"x27" $225.00

A pair of miniature acrylics $25.00 each (with stands)

Iris in the breeze 20"x24" acrylic $150.00 (workshop piece)

Wild Waves in Hawaii 21"x26" Framed watercolour $350.00

My Heritage Building Painting

A special exhibit of paintings of historic buildings in the Waterloo area by local artists will be opening at the Museum at the Conestoga Mall in Waterloo on September 14, and runs to Februaty. Here is my rendition of the Rummelfeldt Schoolhouse which will be on display.
I was intrigued by the fabulous stones, each a foot thick granite, that were used to build the schoolhouse in 1867. The close up view is of the back of the school, where the teacher lived!
