Exploring the beauty of nature on walks in the Lakefield area has inspired these paintings. I love searching out wildlife subjects, picturesque landscapes and flower gardens. Every season is magical. My animal subjects are sometimes whimsical, sometimes animated or curiously looking at the viewer. I derive a deep sense of joy from watching birds and being around animals.
