Santa 13 Collection

 Although Santa Claus will be very busy Christmas Eve delivering gifts to 

children all over the world, here you see only three of his destinations.   

First, Santa will deliver  candy canes and gifts to six deserving grandchildren, 

who although they live far apart,  see the same moon in the sky.  

Grandmaman wrote Santa a very long letter to make sure he knew that 

Ethan, Tristan, Logan, Reegan, Sadie and Oliver 

have been very kind, brave and helpful this year.   

Then off Santa will fly to Charlie's house, as everyone knows that 

Charlie has been a good puppy this year.  

Santa surely has a chewy bone hidden at the bottom of his bag for Charlie, 

as he knows that Charlie loves to chew.

Poppies blowing in the breeze one sunny summer morning. 

 The gentle breeze fans the flowers in a subtle dance, moving them just enough

 to highlight the sun shining through the petals.  

The music of a gentle breeze invites us to dance.

Variety is the spice of life and although the bell pepper lacks the "heat" of the chili pepper it makes up for it in sweetness and health benefits.

 Sunbeams dancing on and through these poplar trees 

mask the dullness of a dense forest.   

The transformation from static grey to bright dancing colours on the surface of the trees

 invite us to explore further the mystery and adventure 

that beckon us to go deeper in the forest.

Who knew?  Just as bell peppers can be green, yellow, orange and red

 they can also be purple.  

This painting celebrates those that stand up for themselves and shout 

"Me too".  

Celebrate the beauty and joy of being different, yet the same!

These goldfish swim freely from late spring to early fall in an outdoor pond, 

then retire to a slower pace in an aquarium through the Canadian winter.  

Goldfish were one of the first fish to be domesticated.  

In Japan and China goldfish are symbols for wealth and good luck.

Kuusamo Grain Elevator

Grain Elevators are vanishing on the prairies.   

From a peak of more than 1700 wooden grain elevators in Alberta in the 1930's, 

an article written in 2013 estimates about 120 are left standing.   Known as prairie 

sentinels they once served to connect people on the prairies, much like the

 Inuksuk of the Arctic. Upon arriving at a grain elevator, the next closest one 

could often be seen.  This grain elevator at Kuusamo is WSW of Sylvan Lake on the CN line 

from north of Red Deer to Rocky Mountain House. It was closed in 2002 and became privately owned.  The reference photo for this painting was taken in the fall of 2014.
