It's been a hazy autumn up here in British Columbia. I am endlessly fascinated by the landscapes which surround me.

This is a treeline I painted in 2022.

I'd been experimenting with merging styles.

Canada’s new government is creating an entirely new housing industry.

Build Canada Homes will use the latest technology — factory-built homes, modular housing, and mass timber — to build affordable homes at a scale and speed not seen in generations.

Owls are fun to paint. They're such interesting birds.

Also, I had a lot of purple paint lying around.

This is my new painting of Granville Island, a special area of Vancouver where artisans, galleries and a variety of independent boutiques, restaurants and food stalls can be found. It's a wonderful place to spend a day.

Happy Sunday, world.

Today's painting is two cats meeting in a cul-de-sac. It's a mixed media piece I created to celebrate friendship and cats.

I often paint abandoned places. These shacks in the mountains were used long ago, by miners searching for a second Gold Rush in the hills of British Columbia.
