Here's a good one!

Liar River Magpies. Acrylic and ink.

First public appearance in months as part of the "pop up artists in downtown Campbell River. These were the plein aire pieces created that day. One on habotai silk, one on chiffon, 22 x 22". Destined for cushions methinks!

Off to a Good Home! Stormy skies over Quadra, silk on canvas.

Descent to the kelp forest. Another celebration of the forests' return to Discovery Channel. Acrylic and pastel on canvas, 25 x 25".

Now folks, this gal is worthy of a listen! Her new CD, "How to Say Sorry and Other Lessons" is absolutely amazing.

Giant kelp. Acrylic, pastel and ink on satin.

Hello I'm Dianne and I speak for the kelp...in this year of all years, the Discovery Channel is more peaceful than it's been for a long time. No cruise ships. And with that, a resurgence in the kelp forests. And with the kelp come benefits for lots of indigenous species, including salmon. Acrylic and pastel on canvas.

For my hubby's birthday...surprise!

Voila! "The Alien", designed by my wonderful nephew!

Sneak preview...the latest page spread.

Paint to suit the decor, paint to match the furniture, paint to copy, but the quintessential difference results when you paint with love.

I feel like a monk must feel! Working on children's book illustrations is the ivory tower of this artist's experiences. Fulfilling; I am learning a lot!
