Botanical Inspiration

My years of gardening and greenhouse work, and hiking in the Alberta foothills, mountains, prairie and suburban trails, have taken my watercolor paintings in a botanical direction. Often my gaze wanders from the magnificent panoramas opening up in the distance, to what appears right underfoot.
