Putting kindness back into the world, one painting at a time:

I paint with a sense of kindness reflected back on me, respectfully, from the amazement and tranquility of the forest. It’s from this kindness given to me so freely and without fear that I travel. This allows me to take in deeply and respectfully the mysteries that surround me. It is in this conversation with nature that drives my imagination forward with the light and darkness on canvas. This balance creates a sense of a welcoming journey enjoyed by me, as a painter, and as a passing stranger.

Painting kindness in one’s work allows two journeys to unfold, both different and both the same, bringing a sense of awe back into the spirit of life.

Please come along and let colour excite the awe with a balance of light within. I am adding a bonus activity again, for those painters wanting some extra fun at no extra cost.  We will be creating a painting on an invisible tree. This will be offered after our regular painting mornings, weather permitting, of course. 

I can’t wait for our time together to begin.
