Winter is the coldest season of the year, in the northern hemisphere from December to February and in the southern hemisphere from June to August. It's a time associated with plunging temperatures and icy weather, but a season that can provide angry blizzards, yet stunning views of nature's palette.

Snowy Day Acrylic on canvas There is a sense of magic for me around snowy landscapes. Memories as a child of building snowmen, visits to my aunt and uncles farm, skating on ponds – where I was the one most likely to be sitting after falling down! This painting is bringing together my favourite childhood memories and creating a place of magic that I hope with resonate with those who see this painting. |

Sneaky Snowman Acrylic on wood panel Night time scenes with snow have always fascinated me. There is something magical about winter nights, with the glow of the moon, the sparkle of moonlight on the snow . . . it seems like anything could happen. I put tracks in the snow . . . and the question is, are those the tracks from the snowman or from the person who made the snowman? |

Soul Oil on canvas Winter is the coldest season of the year and it precedes spring. Winter is caused by the axis of the earth in that hemisphere being oriented away from the sun. Soul represents the winter of the psyche, a phase when it's turned away from its natural energy. A whirlwind of experiences and thoughts circle the canvas. Along the axis, new vital energy makes its way through to the surface, a new season of warmth and growth is coming. |

The Tire Swing Acrylic on watercolor paper This is a winter scene that hints at children that love to play outside. The tire swing is useful in all season. |
|
Skating Acrylic One of my favorite childhood memories is having a small rink for private skating. Sometimes it was just a flooded creek, or even a ditch. When my family lived in Northern Ontario, it sometimes got cold enough that one could skate on the frozen fields. |

Dancing With the Clouds Acrylic on canvas This landscape is from the Whistler-Balckcomb vast skiing area. As a life-long skier, I got an access to the vistas not available to an average tourist. Two years ago I stopped skiing and started painting these landscapes. |
|
In the Shadow of the Mountain Acrylic on canvas This is a typical scene when the skiers are getting ready to descend the mountain. They just arrived by a gondola, put on their skis, bundled up and and are thinking about going down. It is a bit nostalgic for me to now, when I come there without the skis. |
|
Whistler Mountain, Late Afternoon Acrylic on canvas Whistler Mountain is a majestic site from many ski runs, especially towards the end of a sunny day, when the sky has a colour of gold. The skiers are heading down the mountain to the village. I loved the connection of skiing with the visual beauty of the mountains. Every day is different. |

Winter Secrets Watercolour and acrylic Winter is a quiet time – much of the hustle and bustle and activity of warmer months slows down and there is time for meditation. What will be left after another ice age? |
|
Cottage Serenity Watercolour Finding a cozy hideaway in the winter is the best place to catch up on reading and just enjoy some solitude. |
|
Winter Falls Watercolour When I was little I was always amazed that the water froze while moving down the Jolly Cut. I tried to capture that flash in time when the temperature dropped and water was no longer able to move. |

Lucky Visitors Acrylics A friend from Scotland sent me this photo she took in her yard last year. When I saw the call for winter artwrork, I remembered her photo and decided to paint it. I especially enjoyed painting those two birds. |

On The Road Acrylics I have a number of photographs from the old country — photos for all the seasons. I chose it because it was almost monochromatic, and I have never done any monochromatic painting before. |
|
Rockies Acrylic Visiting the Rockies was amazing. It was not easy to decide which scene to paint, because I ended up with so many beautiful pictures. I picked this one because I had so many different aspects of the scene to capture: the rock, the water, trees, hills and the sky. It was a challenge. |
