Doing some caribou hair tufting in the nice weather ❤️

As a person living in Canada, I am participating in the Great American Boycott. It is so hard to separate our money from them. But one win that I had yesterday was switching pet food. I swapped from Petsmart to Bosleys (locally owned) and found an equivalent Canadian brand. Win!

Like any good artist, I have several works on the go at any time. This giant one I can work on only during certain hours. It’s a commission I’ve been working at since November and progress has been slow though steady. I’m currently working on the grasses and plants. Looking for Okanagan vibes.

This painting is so maddeningly and deliciously slow to work on. I think it is turning out so good. Mixing accurate greens is an epic challenge for all artists because we work with pigments and pigments have limitations. Each paint includes a different pigment and can only do so much. 1/2

My work in progress - Did you know green is the hardest colour to paint because humans can see more shades of green than any other colour? So it actually requires specialized pigments for me to capture the range of greens and I’m still not doing it 100% but I’m loving it so far!

Working on some plants 🌱 💚

Art and food are all that is good in the world. Granville Island is so lovely. I’m obsessed with it. Being surrounded by art and art supplies fills my heart right up.

I've fairly successfully taken myself away from Fb. Now, when I go on I'm actually shocked at the amount of ads over there. I'm constantly distracted away from my friends to get sucked into reels. But, since I have to be on my computer to use it, I'm rarely using it. I'm into it. 1/2

At a London bus stop. The Brits are telling it like it is.

Vancouver in February ☔️

Granville Island is a lovely place to spend a rainy day

I will always be my daughter’s biggest fan. I think all of these pieces are brilliant. The last one is a “mean bad guy who eats people and had a people trapped in his stomach”. Like, what?? The imagination on this kid. The second one is me. 🤣

So proud of this beautiful canvas print that I just had made! 🥰😍

Enjoy this winter walk in a Cottonwood forest at about 5pm. It was -10 and all the animals were quiet and sleeping. My toesies were freezing but we still managed a 40 min walk.

I want to paint for like 12 hrs with no one talking to me. But I cant paint at the art gallery because people will talk to me. So i need to hide in my art cave like a gremlin away from my family and friends.

One of my favourite hobbies is travel. This is Mt Robson, the tallest mountain in the Cdn Rockies. Another one of my passions is indigenous language. The name for the mountain in Secwepemc is Yexyexèscen which means something like the striped rock mountain.

This video will make your day ❤️🐿
