Summer Painting Retreat

Welcoming my three guest artists from Whistler, Horseshoe Bay and the Interior of British Columbia. They successfully painted a painting per day during the weekend workshop. The weather was fabulous.


My daughter says I match my house. Her caption to this photo is "Look, I match my house."

Claire's poppy - very Georgia O'Keeffe

Cheryl's tulip painting was spectacular

Melanie's gorgeous up-close and personal magnolia

The Summer House

The summer of 2009 was busy with minor renovations to the salon and the kitchen. This photograph shows the new built-ins that my dear friend Al completed. He also added classic moulding around the windows. I was so pleased with the result. Al is so amazing. He also re-did my kitchen countertops. I found some splashy new fabric and made the tablecloth. I was working on the coordinating window valances when I took this photo.

The summer of 2010 we will paint the salon a pale yellow. All the white furniture will look so lovely with the new backdrop.
