Lovely views, walking and biking along the canal and great shopping to say nothing of the Bistro Greco, an Italian deli two doors down from the gallery.

Artist-in-Residence at Salt Spring State Park
I am Artist-in-Residence at Salt Spring State Park. This yearlong residency will culminate in an exhibition of paintings at the Wheaton House in the Park in August/ September of 2004. (details later). Most of the works that I am in the process of creating are plein air pastel paintings done on location in the park. Some are studio watercolors done over the winter using my recollections, sketches, impressions and photos. There will be several opportunities during the year for painting with me and /or watching me demonstrate a whole painting. I look forward to hosting a "Paint Out" in 2004-other painters will be invited to come and paint the park on a specific day. Of course Salt Spring State Park is always available to artists and the public. If you see me sketching or painting there, please say hello.

The paintings seen in this gallery will be available for purchase during the Exhibition in late summer 2004 at the Wheaton House in the Park. But you may enjoy watching the progression here. I will be posting new ones from time to time.

First Annual New York Central Park Paint Out
September 12-14 I took part in this special event: a collaborative effort of painters from several plein air painting groups. The Paint Out was formed to bring to light some of the top artists painting on location on the East Coast and Midwest. It was my first chance to put some skyscrapers in the background! I loved looking over the shoulders of the other painters to see how they were each interpreting the same subject. It seemed that the public, too, enjoyed this aspect of the paint out.
