Beautiful Mystery
Acrylic on canvas with mixed media and resin
24″H x 36″W x 1.5″D Price: $1099 Turned to Orion in a desert sky Pyramids of Giza are majestic. Preciseness of the stones can testify to a marvel that’s pure mathematics. Pointing always to eternal heaven these monuments were tombs for kings and queens. World Wonder that’s oldest of the seven determined to live on or so it seems. Many questions about the mystery how could these humans move gigantic stones? Could E.T.s have been in our history? We hunger with the beauty of unknowns. How tiny appears the Cairo vista against The Great Pyramids of Giza. John Hamilton 1

Passion Transfigured
Acrylic with marker, ink and resin on canvas
30″H x 24″W x 1.5″D PRICE: $899.00 The Passion Flower My love gave me a passion-flower. I nursed it well – so brief its hour! My eyelids ache, my throat is dry: He told me that it would not die. My love and I are one, and yet Full oft my cheeks with tears are wet – So sweet the night is and the bower! My love gave me a passion-flower. So sweet! Hold fast my hands. Can God Make all this joy revert to sod, And leave to me but this for dower – My love gave me a passion-flower. Sarah Margaret Fuller 1

The Glory of Morning
Acrylic and marker with resin on wood panel
40″H x 30″W x 2.0″D PRICE: $1499.00 The Morning Glory by Helen Waddell The morning glory climbs above my head, Pale flowers of white and purple, blue and red. I am disquieted. Down in the withered grasses something stirred; I thought it was his footfall that I heard. Then a grasshopper chirred. I climbed the hill just as the new moon showed, I saw him coming on the southern road. My heart lays down its load. |

First Light
Acrylic on wood panel with mixed media and resin
48″H x 60″W x 1.5″D Price: $2999 “Now the stars have faded In the purple chill, Lo, the sun is kindling On the eastern hill. Tree by tree the forest Takes the golden tinge, As the shafts of glory Pierce the summit’s fringe. Rock by rock the ledges Take the rosy sheen, As the tide of splendor Floods the dark ravine. Like a shining angel At my cabin door, Shod with hope and silence, Day is come once more. Then, as if in sorrow That you are not here, All his magic beauties Gray and disappear.” By Bliss Carmen, Canadian Poet 1

Hortensias abstraits
Acrylic with wax and resin on wood panel (framed)
10″H x 8″W x 1.5″D PRICE: $249.00 Also known as bigleaf hydrangea or florist’s hydrangea, French hydrangea (Hydrangea macrophylla) is a deciduous or semi-evergreen shrub notable for its huge flower heads and preference for shade. A garden hydrangea is a woody, deciduous shrub measuring 5-6 feet or more tall by about as wide at maturity. Hydrangeas flower in late spring or early summer with long-lasting blooms that may last for five to nine weeks. French hydrangeas are unique in that their flower colour may be manipulated by changing the pH of the soil. Its large leaves, in shades of medium to dark matte green provide the background to the two different bloom forms: 1). Mophead or hortensia blooms, or 2). Lacecap blooms. Pink hydrangeas symbolize heartfelt emotion. Blue hydrangeas symbolize frigidity and apology. White hydrangeas symbolize boasting or bragging. Purple hydrangeas symbolize a desire to deeply understand someone. 1

A Dream of Spring
Acrylic with resin on canvas (framed)
48″H x 48″W x 1.5″D PRICE: $2399.00 Lines Written in Early Spring I heard a thousand blended notes, While in a grove I sate reclined, In that sweet mood when pleasant thoughts Bring sad thoughts to the mind. To her fair works did Nature link The human soul that through me ran; And much it grieved my heart to think What man has made of man. Through primrose tufts, in that green bower, The periwinkle trailed its wreaths; And ’tis my faith that every flower Enjoys the air it breathes. The birds around me hopped and played, Their thoughts I cannot measure:-- But the least motion which they made It seemed a thrill of pleasure. The budding twigs spread out their fan, To catch the breezy air; And I must think, do all I can, That there was pleasure there. If this belief from heaven be sent, If such be Nature’s holy plan, Have I not reason to lament What man has made of man? By William Wordsworth |

Where the Sunflower Wishes to Go

60″H x 30″W x 1.5″D Price: $2499 Ah! Sunflower, weary of time, Who countest the steps of the sun, Seeking after that sweet golden clime Where the traveler’s journey is done; Where the youth pined away with desire, And the pale virgin shrouded in snow, Arise from their graves, and aspire Where my sunflower wishes to go!

Les roses trémières
Acrylic with wax and resin on wood panel (framed)
10″H x 8″W x 1.5″D PRICE: $249.00 SOLD A classic cottage garden staple, hollyhocks (Alcea rosea) bloom mid-summer with numerous flowers on tall spikes. Many of the most common varieties are biennials, meaning they complete their lifecycle over 2 years. The first year is spent growing foliage and storing energy. In the second year, the stalks shoot up, flowers bloom and seeds form. However, there are also many varieties that behave like short-lived perennials and will flower in their first year when planted early enough in spring or started indoors in winter. Other than staking and cutting the stalks back after flowering, hollyhocks really don’t require much maintenance, but they do need to be protected from insects and fungal diseases such as rust. Hollyhocks support the lifecycle of painted lady butterflies as a host plant for their caterpillars and also attract other pollinators such as bees and hummingbirds. 1

Nasturtiums
Acrylic and ink with resin on canvas board (framed)
28”H x 22”W x 1.5”D PRICE: $799.00 Lines to a Nasturtium – A Lover Muses Flame-flower, Day-torch, Mauna Loa, I saw a daring bee, today, pause, and soar, Into your flaming heart; Then did I hear crisp crinkled laughter As the furies after tore him apart? A bird, next, small and humming, Looked into your startled depths and fled…. Surely, some dread sight, and dafter Than human eyes as mine can see, Set the stricken air waves drumming In his flight. Day-torch, Flame-flower, cool-hot Beauty, I cannot see, I cannot hear your fluty Voice lure your loving swain, But I know one other to whom you are in beauty Born in vain; Hair like the setting sun, Her eyes a rising star, Motions gracious as reeds by Babylon, bar All your competing; Hands like, how like, brown lilies sweet, Cloth of gold were fair enough to touch her feet . . . . Ah, how the senses flood at my repeating, As once in her fire-lit heart I felt the furies Beating, beating. Anne Spencer |

Lost in Thought
Acrylic and mixed media with resin on canvas (framed)
20”H x 24”W x 2.25”D Price: $699 “Lost in Thought” is a painting of a Georgian Bay, Ontario shoreline. I incorporated gel medium and silica sand with acrylic paint to layer the rocks and underwater ledges. I enjoyed adding these sculptural mediums to create a 3-D effect along the water’s edge. I continued to explore the use of vibrant non-representational colours to further engage the viewer. 1
