The little girl on the left was born in Italy came to Canada with her Mom where they settled . The summer holidays were in Milan with her cousin.
I love the expression on her face, oh so bored and he is playing up to the camera.

My very first sailboat experience was off the Pacific Coast at White Rock B.C.
It was stormy and the waves were rolling and I loved every moment .
Across from me on the boat was Jane and her Mom. I took the photo and painted the watercolour mainly because of the different clothing textures, plastic, nylon, cotton, polyester. A challenge! Jane just looked so relaxed, an everyday adventure.

Sasha's Twilight Walk
This is a pastel a soft pastel 20"X30"on Canson paper
Sasha my dog friend and I used to walk everywhere . One day during a walk I looked for her and she was behind me. As I turned I witnessed this amazing sunset through the park's weeping willows .
I think it was the first time I looked at my dear friend and realized that she was getting older . Sasha loved to run she would always be in front so much so that she would have to double back to tell me she was OK and make sure I was OK. She protected me on many outings
"Sasha's Twilight Walk" was inspired by that walk
