I’ve been painting away on a new little grouping of northern landscapes. I hope to have them ready to show soon. A small grouping of tree paintings and the new maple leaf design are en route to Yellowknife. They should be arriving at Visual Effects in a few days.
This new painting brings back the serene feeling of standing under the aurora on a still evening and listening to see if you can actually hear the dancing lights in the sky.
This is something new I’m currently working on. I’m not sure how much more I’ll do…I want to keep it fresh and it has nice contrast in the dark shadowy areas. The area in the background needs some love though. It’s a rock, or it’s going to become one. Yellowknife has plenty of rock, so much so that I was kind of taken aback when we first landed here. Now, my view point has changed. Climbing the rocks will be one of the things I’ll miss about living in Yellowknife.
This is a picture taken with my phone last night, here in Yellowknife NWT. The lights moved quickly across the sky and left me shaking my head in awe. Tonight may bring another show…
The annual Snowking Festival Begins March 1st- 31st 2015 in Yellowknife. Here’s a picture of a majestic castle carved out of snow and part of the Snow Carving Competition. 
I wanted to share some of the photos I’ve taken over the last year or so since we’ve moved to Yellowknife. I’m picking out some that are unique to the north and make this such an interesting and wonderful place to live.
I walked out on the lake on New Year’s Eve to find myself standing under a vivid aurora. It made me feel very fortunate, peaceful and inspired. The painting began the next day and six small originals (6 x 6 inches) and have been completed displaying lots of light play and resined with a high gloss topcoat and delivered to Down to Earth Gallery and Visual Effects.
