			<description><![CDATA["Fantasy Lake"
My hope is that this painting will take the viewer into this serene and secluded spot. It is really a compilation of several beautiful places in western Canada where we can go to listen to nature’s sounds and recharge our spirit.

			<description><![CDATA["Red & Gold I"
My alter-ego escaped here, and I become focussed on geometric shapes, proportions and wild, pure color. For a bit of counter-balance, I added some curves, borrowed and collaged from nature.

			<description><![CDATA["Autunm Reflections"
Sometimes I enjoy the blurring of details and colors in the reflections more than the actual scene above. Those indistinct, moving mirrors of reality seem to beckon us to look up and beyond to really see.

			<title><![CDATA[Blazing Sunset]]></title>
			<description><![CDATA["Blazing Sunset"
Every time I see a sunset it has a different personality; some are glorious, happy or warm, while in others, there may be a sense of sadness or farewell. This painting was about mood and color, and I find that color influences the mood. For this sunset painting, as I watched and mentally noted the changing colors in the sky, I noticed how quickly the details of the foreground became obscured. It was as if the sky was saying, “Look at me”.

			<description><![CDATA["Where the Smoky Meets the Peace"
There are broad, winding valleys at the junction of the Smoky with the ‘mighty Peace’ river. These rivers acted as early transportation corridors for exploration,  trade and settlement in northern Alberta. But I love this landscape because of its beauty and grandness of scale; from the top of a river bank, I wonder, ‘What lies around the bend?’
