The Saltspring Island Cheese Co. is on a beautiful farm with sheep, goats, donkeys, and some very friendly dogs. You can walk around the cheese making buildings and have a self guided tour to see how all the various cheeses are made. There is also a little store, with complimentary sampling, which means we go home with a LOT of cheese! It's a beautiful quaint spot with a perfect combination of French Country and funky Saltspring decor. This little window faces into the garden where you can enjoy a drink and a snack. Yum!

I demonstrated at the Night Market in my neighbourhood the other night, and decided to do this smaller version of a larger painting I did a while back. I'm quite pleased with the loose brushwork and spontaneity of it. It was a beautiful sunny evening and a good time was had by all.

This painting is inspired from photos I took while living in Paris, France. We had a great apartment in the attic of a seven floor walk up. Yes you read that correctly. Luckily it was a beautiful staircase. Spiral, polished wood, tapestry carpets and floor to ceiling French windows on each landing. But the très chic apartments just above the cafes, within the trees that line the boulevards, like the one in this painting, always fascinated me. These people had large luxurious apartments, and on opening their French doors, could take in all the energy of the street life. I always thought of them as the Parisiens who were really 'City Dwelling'. This building had such beautiful old world charm and combined with the flower boxes full of geraniums, I simply had to paint it.
