"Retired at Peggy's Cove" 16" x 20" , Acrylic on Birchwood.  This painting is one that I did for the CAS "Paint the Same" where the members bring in photos and we take a vote and choose our fav and then each paint our own interpretation of the photo. This was my version of it. I loved trying to interpret in my own way the texture and detail of the old fish shack and the retired whale boat which each have their own stories to tell. 

"Halifax City Hall" 11" x 14" Acrylic on Birchwood.   This painting won an Honorable Mention Award, Open Category (Architecture) in The Contemporary Art Society's 42nd Annual Juried Show & Sale. This is one of my fav historical buildings in the city! We sadly are loosing more and more of them as they are being torn down in the name of progress. In my mind it is a backward progression.  We see all the unique architecture, warm inviting buildings each with their own character that used to line our streets, that said so much about our past culture and heritage, being silenced and disappearing.
