The sentinels stand guard. Vigilantly watching over the landscape protecting those who are not strong enough yet to protect themselves. From the hillside the whole world can be seen. Those who are under the watchful eye wait for their moment to go forth beyond the boundaries and explore the world on their own.
These paintings come from my desire to brighten up my own day and life. I thoroughly enjoy painting. To me painting is a joy. When I stand back and look at each painting, I smile. Because other people react the same way, I choose to share my work and spread the happiness around. That joy carries through the work to the viewer. My hope is that when you hang it on the wall, you will find that this vibrant dreamy landscape makes you smile every time that you see it.
This series of impressionistic works are inspired by the Group of Seven and Emily Carr. The images are filled with the feeling of movement and activity, yet are calm and dream-like to view. This work of art will be relaxing and enjoyable for years to come.
