776 Roses and Robert Amos Pottery

sold
I found this Robert Amos Pottery vase at a consignment store. What a treasure! I think the Arbutus berries is the perfect thing to put in it. (Both are so totally Victoria).

728 Beacon Hill Park Rhododendrons

I painted these in the same spot where I painted my favorite painting a few years ago. Only then it was a larger square format.
Just when I finished with this little painting I got a call to make History! I had been on he wait list to help hang the new IMAX screen. It took 64 people working together to unroll and hoist these massive sheet of silver coated vinyl. It's 6 stories high. It was a  lot of fun. And now I have bragging rights eh.

619 Italian Pepper Mill

sold
I bought this little pepper mill nearly 30 years ago at a church bazaar. I remember that day clearly. They wanted a quarter for it. I bargained hard and got it for a nickel. I pointed out that it was old and some of the paint had worn off (It used to be red, green, and ochre.) It was the best bazaar ever. I got tons of stuff. This pepper mill is the last thing I still have from that day. The paint has mostly warn off but the brass bits are still perfect and best of all it's the best grinder of all the ones I've tried. It's also special because it's made in Italy.

525 Zoom Zoom

Another Willows Beach scene.
Sorry about the glare. Lately when I photograph my paintings outdoors they get totally blue and the colours are washed out. I ended up photographing this indoors just to get the turquoise car to look turquoise.
