During the winter of 2010/2011 my friend Cindy travelled South Amercia. When she returned to Canada she brought me a photograph of this local Buenos Airies fruit and vegetable (Fruita y Verduras) market and suggested I might want to paint it. I think this is probably the toughest painting I have ever done, there is so much detail. Thanks for the challenge Cindy.

There’s quite a story attached to this butterfly:
On September 10, while participating in the Grimsby Art Fest, a large outdoor art and craft sale, I was visited by a large orange Monarch butterfly. I had the strangest feeling that I was being visited, watched over, by my ailing mother. The next day, September 11, she passed away.
On Monday, the 12th, while walking in nature at 50 Point, she (the butterfly) was back again. Once again, the feeling of being watched over.
This painting is simply called “Mom.”

A couple of years ago, while in the Yucatan Mexico, we visited a little town called Celestun.
Celestun, is right on the the Gulf of Mexico, and is rightfully famous for it’s Flamingos. Thousands of Flamingos! Ever since that visit I’ve wanted to paint one of these majestic birds.

Copella is a small village with cobble stone streets in the mountains east of Mazatlan. This old mining town once had a population in the thousands but now is less than 500. The stone and brick work in the buildings is hundreds of years old. Bougainvillea is one of my favorite flowers and is show cased on this beautiful stone wall.
