Progression of the Petite Florals
This was my first venture into small batiks and after completing "Rhodo Blush", my concern for controlling the hot wax and the bleed of the dye in a small area, things that always made me hesitant, has dwindled and I've finally completed #5! I still have have five photographs lined up to paint... daphne buds, twisted wisteria, and lilies! We are now living in North Saanich, on Vancouver Island, and my studio is complete, although not quite usable as we are temporarily living in it! More than expected, my life has turned upside down and even this series of small batiks has been set aside amidst the chaos. I'm still counting on my new studio space becoming my peaceful, calm, zone of zen in the last part of our construction!! This week I will try to carve our a bit of space to paint. I will continue painting and wait for my studio Open House to sell these little Florals, so next spring. Thank you to those who have email me, through the Contact Form on this website, showing interest in being invited to my opening! It's a long time to be out of the art loop and I appreciate feeling still connected.
... my latest little painting, Jewel Colours, was completed just before the above bigger piece, Tidal Wonders. I am lucky enough to have access to our photographer friend's amazing talent (Chris Leach), and even luckier to have had the batik accepted at the 2024 Sooke Fine Arts Show, and then sold!!
... on to my next batik...

Flattering quotes from my Patrons!
"To me the true test of art is the ones that draw you in and keep you coming back for a more discerning look. . ." Chris
". . . and if I did not make it very clear, I think your work is transcendent. Very very wondrous and I hope to see you again someday. You are not only gifted, you are a gift to all!" James
"Without a doubt, the Rug Merchant is one of the most beautiful pieces I've ever seen" Pat
"Your paintings are a love letter to the Universe!" Unknown gentleman
. . . just sitting in the Living Room with a glass of wine and enjoying looking at [our batik]. We so love it! It makes me think & feel summer! I would very much like to scramble across those rocks and lay out at the far end near the water in the sunshine for awhile like a seal! Then have a picnic under the Garry Oak in the shadows!" Bob
"I admired your paintings at the Sidney Fine Arts Show. They are beautiful in colour, detail and light." Gisele
