New Painting

This is my latest painting of a wolf leaping across a flooded river and I plan on making prints from it. The original is staying in my collection for a while.

I painted this to help create awareness about wolf conservation. Wolves are not protected in BC. For more information visit the Northern Lights Wolf Sanctuary. Here is a direct link to the conservation issues and what you can do to help.

New Boreal painting

This is the first painting I did for submission to the Exhibition.

In August this year I was invited to join a select group of artists on a wilderness canoe trip to Woodland Provincial Park in Ontario. The goal of this 14th in an ongoing series of wilderness art and natural history expeditions, was to paint and photograph the pristine wilderness that forms the heart of the Boreal Forest.

The importance of the Boreal Forest cannot be understated. This is the largest, intact forest remaining in the world. It is an ecosystem of lakes and trees and moderates our climate. It’s a source of oxygen; it purifies our water, and is home to many First Nations communities and to thousands of species of birds, animals, plants and insects.

Wolf Conservation Prints

In June I painted Lupa – She Wolf. I did this painting purposely to make an open ended print for Northern Lights Wolf Sanctuary in Golden, something small they could sell in their gift shop to raise funds for their wolf conservation. It’s the only one of my prints that is a not a limited edition. Since then I have such a great response to the painting that I decided to make canvas gicleés from it too.
