Recently during an unusual heat wave here on the East Coast of Canada, I painted this small painting that is just 8″ x 10″. I love this little jug – a handmade pottery piece that my father gave my mother over 40 years ago. The flowers were from my garden.

I am finishing up a series of small works and most of them are on their way to the Art Sales and Rental Gallery of the Art Gallery of Nova Scotia in Halifax. I have so enjoyed working on these flower portraits and they have given me lots of ideas for a larger painting that I am eager to start working on.
