Striving to catch the movement and emotion in the ocean is always my goal. I used an interplay of blues, blacks and whites to create a dynamic energy in this painting. Occasional hints of reds and yellows peek through to provide warmth and contrast against the cool palette.

The gap is a constant calling to me as I see it from my studio window and it has a metaphorical meaning to us. Passing through the gap on our sailing voyages indicates we are on holiday and ready for adventure at sea. The shoreline along the way to the gap is part of the journey.

Once you ride the swells you never forget. I painted this in memory of this feeling while circumnavating Vancouver Island in Take Five our 30" Nonsuch sailboat. We were alone out there most of the time and we got so excited to see other sails on the horizon.

The shifting dance of tides and currents is visible on the water's surface, as we sail smoothly through the transitions. The ocean’s ever-changing nature captivates and inspires me in my seascapes work.

Endless expanse. This is the feeling I try to expose when I paint my seascapes. This one has a landscape feel as well. Depends what you want to see. I painted around the edges so the painting can be approached at all angles.

Simply watching a wave is mesmerizing, almost hypnotic. The way it rises and falls, gliding along the boat’s hull, is enough to hold my attention completely.

This painting captures serenity with its soft blues and whites. It feels like I'm standing on the beach, looking out toward a peaceful island on the horizon, with gentle seafoam adding to the calm.

We travel to other places and enjoy the excitement of something new but I'm always glad to return home. Home is where I hear the waves hit the shore.

In 'On Top of it All,' sailboats grace the horizon, creating an illusion of being elevated above the ordinary. Drawing inspiration from Japanese scroll paintings, I challenge conventional perspectives by encouraging viewers to engage with the artwork in a top-to-bottom reading, defying traditional spatial constraints.

Mountains and sky merge seamlessly in this dynamic yet peaceful abstract painting. Inspired by the view from my studio, I captured the essence of the mountain range meeting the sea under a vibrant, layered sky of soft blues. I painted around the edges, allowing the artwork to be appreciated from any angle.

I love seeing sails on the horizon. In my abstracted way they are almost a faint reminder that they were once there. Below the sea dances this way and that acting as the stage for the scene I see over and over again.

When we are out sailing we love to poke along the shoreline looking at all the details the coastal waters and islands have to offer. This painting is indicative of what we see out there.

Every morning I look out towards Keats Island and see the sun rise. On special days the sun makes the hill look like its about to burst into flames. It is awe inspiring and I am grateful to see it.

When I painted this is was concentrating on the ebb and flow of the waves hitting the shore outside the studio. There is nothing better than hearing that sound for me. I wanted to capture it like a musical score on canvas.

"Here Now" captures a moment where the vastness of the sky meets the earth below. The dominant feature of the painting is the expansive pale blue sky, stretching out across the canvas, evoking a sense of tranquility and openness.

There is something special about waking up to a sunny day where the surface of the water mirrors how I feel.

This is what I see from my studio window. The small rise of Keats Island with sails adding delightful contrast along its dark green shores. The sky is always full of interesting shapes.

The continuous ebb and flow of the ocean give me a comforting sensation. This artwork intimately captures that experience, immersing you directly into its depths. The texture, when observed up close, offers intricate details.

"Break" was inspired from sailing around Vancouver Island. The journey unfolded with beautiful vistas and the mesmerizing ocean swells breaking over rugged reefs. price includes white wood float frame.

Most mornings I witness a sunrise over Keats Island. The pinks, reds and yellows flare for a very short time before its gone but I'm grateful to have seen it.

Living by the sea proves endlessly captivating, given its ever-changing rhythm. Constantly in a fluid state, it has the mesmerizing ability to induce a trance-like experience.
