'Tis the season for hummingbird orders I'm honoured by the number of people contacting me looking for hummingbirds as Christmas gifts. This little guy is being picked up on Monday - I love the orange peeks through the back ground colour

Boomer 6x6 Acrylic on Raised Canvas

Happy Thanksgiving to my American Friends!

I've been trying to experiment using different colours lately and I love the shapes you can create using colours other than black. The only black that I used in this painting were for his eyes. I hope you enjoy

Au Revoir Harold

I'm pleased to report Harold the Great Blue Heron I posted yesterday is off to his new home in South Port Maine.  He sold in a record 4 hours from being posted.  I hope he "makes someone's Christmas" and puts a smile on their face everyday,

Harold 18x24 Acrylic on Canvas


I'm lucky I get to see these great majestic birds all the time living in Squamish. I love that they have an eeriness to them. This is actually the second heron I have painted (the first one I painted sold right away at the Pemberton Library). This guy was lots of fun to paint, especially his feathers and beak. I hope you like it

S. Gonzales 12 x 24 Acrylic on Canvas.


I thought it would be fun to experiment with an even larger hummingbird than my last one.  This one is just a wee bit bigger, and also has a much brighter background.  I think I was inspired by all this wonderful sunshine we are having in Squamish.
