I'm so excited to let you know that I have been selected as the Artist in residence for the Oceana cruise line. I will be on board the Mariner for the month of August. Excited to be traveling to Greenland, Iceland, England, Scotland, Ireland and France with my helper Tony Koenen. Of course teaching on the way. Looking forward to meeting all my new budding artists on board.

Just came back from teaching on The Windstar Star Pride luxury cruise ship . So much fun Iceland, Greenland, Nfld and Quebec. We laughed so hard at our blind self portraits. Made many new friends.

As many of you know Tony Koenen has been working on a movie score over the last year. We would love to see you on the 21st August for the Canadian premier.
After 28 months of animating and producing the movie, GENE, writer producer Gerald Dehayes says
" I'm so excited to be presenting it at the Mary Irwin Theatre, right here in Kelowna on August 21, (Wednesday) and look forward to seeing you there.
The movie is 77 minutes long and based on my novel, 'GENE' which is available at trafford.com as well as other book stores worldwide.
An incredible addition to the movie (that sends it over the top with creative ingenuity and suspense) is having Tony Koenen write and perform the sound track that will keep you sitting on the edge of your seat.
The movie has already been screened to a select few who are in the business and the comments make me proud.
Please keep August 21 open so that you can join me and the entire team for the premier."
Tickets go on sale July 6th at rotarycentreforthearts.com. Rated 13+.

Great paint day with Darlene Mulligan . She wanted to paint a Christmas image for her seasonal cards. We had a lot of fun.

Mixed media on canvas. Heavily textured. Just need to varnish. 24"x 48" I always look at my paintings for a few days before I varnish. I never try to be perfect in my paintings but to have a lot of energy.
The painting has a lot of rusts and copper. The photo doesn't quite capture the richness of color.

New work, ancient musings, texturedand layered. I am enjoying the richness and subtly of colors.
