About the Artwork
Soul Mates Turtles
acrylic on canvas
40" x 56"
$2100.00
Inspired by a dream of 2 headed turtle beside a stream, the image represents a view from ethereal into the earthly realm through the shell on the turtle's back.
Sunset Over Kingston From a plein air sketch atop hill at Fort Henry, this mixed media image became a mural on Princess St. in Kingston and stood for 25 years. I had a chance to retouch the "Cycle Path Mural" in March 2017 before they closed. Sadly, the shop that took over painted over the mural. The spot remains a “Pokestop” called "Cycle Path Murals".
