Frankenstein Rock Art

This particular heron painting was starting to frustrate me until today. I was seriously ready to get my husband electric sander to get rid of the textures underneath. But I decided to keep working with it. I feel like it’s finally emerging. Going to be a great piece. The frustrating ones usually turn out the best. #discernment #processart #gabriolaartist #gabriola

Last market for my season @ Aggie Hall today from 10-2. Here is some of my wall hanging alcohol ink work.

View of the ferry at olebar.

The smoke is back. Olebar point has always been a place for me to clear my mind from my teenage years till now. #entranceislandlighthouse #entranceisland #gabriolalife #gabriola #gabriolaisland

Working on signs, cleaning up the bathroom and getting the wall space ready for hanging. #gabriolastudiotour #gabriolaisland #gabriolalife #vancouverislandartist #gulfislandartists

This is the third pass on these four pieces. More depth and layer to each piece. Risking with play and editing with discernment. #gabriolaisland #vancouverislandartists

Sometimes you have to take your shoes and socks off and walk in the water to get back on the trail. #gabriolalife
