This last summer I had the privilege to visit the Butchart Gardens in Victoria, B.C.  The gardens are located on a lovely little island close to Vancouver, Canada. The amazing thing is that the gardens were created out of a abandoned limestone quarry pit!  Around the turn of the century, Jennie Butchart decided she wanted to try and do something to beautify the unsightly pit near her home, so she had topsoil brought in by horse and carts and created the beautiful Sunken Gardens. This, in my opinion, was the most beautiful part of the whole garden! The Butchart Gardens cover 55 acres, and are well worth a visit. I am doing a series of paintings based on my visit, and these will be shown in my solo show at the Rive Gauche Gallery in December.

I am having a solo show at the Rive Gauche Art Gallery in Scottsdale, AZ from Dec 16 to Jan 6. The opening reception will be Dec 16 from 7 to 9 pm. It will be my second solo show at the gallery. I will be showing 20 paintings based on  my travels to the Butchart Gardens this summer, and also some work from Mission San Juan Capistrano and other places I have been. I hope to see you all there!
