Studio Tour fall OPEN HOUSE a success 

The Studio is finished and I am officially painting in it!  My planned spring Open House was delayed as we didn't realize how much work needed to make it accessible to the public, but it's now done!  I have a stoop, and stepping stones to the entrance, the waterfall and creek have been resurrected and the tranquil splashing of water and bird song now fill the Japanese Garden again.  Lots still needs to be done in the garden, but the front section was ready to welcome people for a FALL Open House in early October.  Thank you everyone that came!  It coincided with the annual ArtSea Studio Tour (including 40 other artists on the Peninsula), which I hope people took advantage of as well. I had over 150 visitors during the weekend!  The Japanese Maples were starting to turn colour and the day was so lovely I was able to keep the door open for people to wander in and out.  Next year I hope to have the whole garden open for people to wander around the 3 ponds.  

The space has come together really well, and yes, it's a quiet, calm place, perfect for painting and for Obi to sleep.  Oban is my first Studio Dog... a brown standard poodle who loves to curl up at my feet and keep me company!  

Feel free to drop a note on my contact page if you'd like to visit the studio... it's a lovely country drive.

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
