December 2, 2020 Below are some images from my expanding collection of "Beautiful Invaders" paintings. These are small works, only 7" X 7" on Arches 140 cold press paper with Winsor and Newton watercolours. They are usually completed the day the leaves are collected. I used to paint these leaves when my children were at the leaving home stage and I was working full time at UVic. Now I seem to be at a similar time of change. Moving from working full time and transitioning into retirement- not from painting but from regular teaching commitments. Perhaps this is why these small accessible subjects are calling me again. I have a love/hate relationship with change and with Himalayan Blackberries. I do not like them taking over wild spaces. I do love eating them in July and August. This time of year I hike with clippers and leather gloves to cut off runners and remover overhanging brambles.  These treasures are $150.00 each. j
