New Work: Girl with Cherry Blossoms

Girl with Cherry Blossoms

Acrylic, mixed media on canvas

This piece was created while I was teaching an art class. We were working on layering, and using found images — in this case the Japanese girl, and the red heart. The heart is actually a piece of a prayer string blessed by the 14th Dalai Lama, which was given to me by my friend, Linda.

Lately, being busy with starting a new business, I have been on one of my longest-ever breaks from making art. Maybe I will just quit painting forever. HA HA HA! As if!!!!

This time, I am showing you a painting of mine from a few years ago. It belongs to Royal University Hospital in Saskatoon. They recently moved it from the children's ward of the main hospital to the brand new Irene and Leslie Dubé Centre for Mental Health. That is the new, sloped-roof building you can see on the riverbank as you come up the University Bridge.

I am glad to have the piece in wonderful spot across from the lounge in the adolescent in-patient wing where kids will see it. Peace.
