Canada is a vast beautiful country with geographic treasure trove of amazing landscapes. This is my first in a series of silk paintings to explore and to compose silk painting of how I see this earthly paradise.

Man has to be artistic when everything in nature evokes so much love. The only reason that you are missing it is because you are fast asleep. Don't miss the show, it's free.

The sea grape tree of Saint Lucia has colours of such vibrant and exotic hues. This silk painting captures this beauty.

When painting on silk there is a delicate balance of using the actual raw silk to act as white. This technique is quite like watercolour painting only with more colour saturation and bleeding ability.

I find adding tiny sections of black in my compositions enhances all the other colours and make textures stand out. I see black as the absence of colour, it is the mystery quality of my work.

This simple video depicts how I use a wet on wet technique on silk to create a 3D effect. The bright colours, textures, shadows and use of light create this wonderful form.

Slicing through the deep eternal blue
Flashes bright white yellow
A shadowy mass mutates in sync
Churning to white froth of desperate escape

On the southern tip of Saint Lucia where the sandy beach hugs the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, a grove of sea grape paint the shore line in colours of the sun. The tranquility of light dances on every leaf. This painting has captured a tiny moment of that bliss.

Painting on silk is so explosive by nature. Look closely and you will notice the dancing light flickering on the surface of the silk as the paint bleeds into every silk fibre. My whole intent is to capture just a tiny moment in time to remind you that life is beautiful, you just need to see with open eyes what has been given to by nature for free. Beauty is always present, but we simply take it for granted.
