in progress: St. Ninian's, Shetland
This body of work is new and I will be delving into it throughout the year-probably much longer. The series is evolving out of a recent (April 2015) residency in the Shetland Islands, of which I thank the Ontario Arts Council and those of you supporting me by purchasing paintings via the 'Wild in Shetland' crowd-funder. Those paintings were all made looking out onto the sea, listening to the laughing gulls and lapping waves and breathing in the heady sea air-some were supervised by a seal.

in progress; St. Ninians
in progress: Scalloway walk 1
Since
my return, beeswax (encaustic) has given me the freedom to preserve
forever the things that have found me on the Shetland walks.
The plein air paintings below were made especially for the caring individuals who sponsored me via the 'Wild in Shetland' crowd-funder.
