"THE ROAD NOT TAKEN"

12" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas

I finished this autumn scene of poplar trees just in time to display it at the Headwaters Art Show at Pynelogs in Invermere last week.

The title is from the Robert Frost poem by the same name.

The reception was a lot of fun and many artists and patrons

were in attendance. You still have time to see our exhibit! 

The show runs until Saturday, June 7th, 2014.

"Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,

And sorry I could not travel both

And be one traveler, long I stood

And looked down one as long as I could

To where it bent in the undergrowth"

POSTCARDS

My husband made this stand for my post cards out of

old barn board. The post cards I printed are of local

views and wildlife in our valley. They are available at 

the Canal Flats Family Pantry for $1.50 each.

P.S. - The Headwaters Art Society is exhibiting at Pynelogs, in Invermere next week. I will have three new pieces for display as well as 5 of my 4" x 4" tiles. Join me on Wednesday evening from 6:00pm to 9:00pm for the opening night.

Cheers!

A flash of harmless lightning,

A mist of rainbow dyes,

The burnished sunbeams brightening,

From flower to flower he flies.

This morning I found a hummingbird who had struggled against a screen 

on my back deck. His beak was caught halfway through it and he was

laying on the ledge exhausted. I picked him up and held him in my hands

while I sat in the sun with my 9 year old son, Jonah. After about 25 minutes, and much to our delight and relief, this little male hummingbird flew from my hand in a blur. 

"SUNFLOWER"

4" x 4" Acrylic on Tile

Keep your face to the sunshine

and you will never see the shadows.

It's what sunflowers do.

"Good Day For Ducks!"

April showers have been plentiful. These ducks in Cranbrook are not deterred however. They aren't stressed in the least about the weather. They take it all in stride, like water off a duck's back! :)
