Autumn light leaves early; the colours on days when the temperature is "crisp"are intense. After the leaves have fallen, after they've been raked up and carted away, the grass is left still green waiting for the snow.
The tree dances in the wind.

Sunset Dance
The landscape features most prominently in the body of my work. It is a landscape of suggestion, rather than a faithful figurative rendering; it is a landscape of fiction and abstraction. Major influences on my work have been the Canadian landscape, the tropical forest of the Congo and the land of the Mediterranean/Middle East. Born in Exeter, Ontario,I studied at the University of Prince Edward Island, McGill University in Montreal and the Université du Québec à Trois Rivières.
I always ask one question; when does the unconventional become so utterly conventional as to become uninteresting - dull in fact? I hope these are not dull whatever else they are. Let me know what you think.

Beautiful, graceful and indeed, crisp! I notice your work is becoming ever more simplified, with abstracted, flat shapes and lines. On the other hand, those below belie this conclusion! ; ) Thank you, dear for your lovely lunch while I was visiting PEI. It was lovely and refreshing to sit in that cozy diningroom with you! Hope to see you again in the summer! Much love, Anita
