Another scene in beautiful Provence but this could also be in the Okanagan, British Columbia. How lucky I am to be able to visit one and live in the other.

WHAT"S NEW?

Follow me on Instagram, Facebook or my website to find out -

Studio in Leir House - The Leir House in Penticton is a designated heritage building and is home to the Penticton Arts Council, open to the public 5 days a week. Many of the rooms are rented by musicians and visual artists as studio space or teaching venues and I was lucky to have secured one. Future plans are for a gift shop but in the mean time drop by and check out the current show or get information on the various events happening.

A Note about my process - My oil paintings are done using only walnut oil as a medium with a touch of thinner, no alkyds, extenders, driers, varnishes - just oil and pigment. When the surface is dry enough I will rub in a little more walnut oil to even out the sheen bringing out a beautiful glow and brush stroke pattern quite unlike a varnished look with a durable a finish. These can always be varnished for added protection.
