Playful Sunflowers
Wood Lily
The beautiful Wood Lily is found blooming all over Manitoulin in late June. I did this painting at Cathy Boyd’s Go Big or Go Home workshop (Perivale Gallery Summer Art Workshops 2018). This was a real stretch for me covering such a large space but once accomplished it will be hard to go small again. The painting is now hanging in the living room my daughter, Harmony. I intended it for her camp on Manitoulin but she thought it was good enough for home.

Silvoys
A beach in Parry Sound that has since been transformed to Wabuno Beach. It formerly had big rocks to climb over. A memorable childhood place where we dove for clams and swam over to a small island, where we caught sunfish and put them in small pools of water.
