Love to draw (especially mountains), eclectic interests, strange sense of humour. I try to capture the way light and shadow reveal images.

Have you ever visited Niagara Falls? I used to find it hypnotic to watch the water roar over the lip of the falls. I wondered what ever drove those people who rode over the falls in barrels…but it’s a frighteningly alluring view. #niagarafalls #natureart #watercolour

Watercolour painting of Niagara Falls from the Canadian side. The water cascades over the lip of the falls. Wooded land frames the distant background.

We see so many birds in our backyard this spring. In addition to sparrows, chickadees, blue jays and finches, we get a northern flicker now and then. He loves to peck at the vents on the roofs, which sounds like a machine gun inside!
