Will be posting a different painting from the spring show for ten days. This is a 24×24 painting from Bebo Flats in Fish Creek Park in Calgary.

As I’m the passenger when driving with my husband, it’s a perfect opportunity for taking reference photos through the windshield. Country roads, and winding mountain roads are a favorite subject. Roads remind me to look ahead, not back. They are also a constant reminder that we need to keep advancing and evolving, on both a personal and spiritual level.This is on the way to Sundre, hwy 22 north.

This summer we have experienced a lot of hot and hazy days due to the forest fires that are in BC. The light takes on a golden glow and the distant colours are more muted.

This is the most recent piece I’ve done  this spring. The patterns in the ice as it begins to melt are a compelling subject at this rather bleak time of the year. Still waiting for the appearance of a leaf.

This morning I warmed up this rather chilly painting using warm tints of white. The reference photo was taken by my son Jay while snowboarding at Fortress ski resort several years ago. I ad painted it before in small formats in watercolor and in oils. This is a 24X48 acrylic and I will be keeping it for awhile before it heads to the gallery in June.

Such a memorable evening with fine artists, Mickie, Louise,Mike,Denise, myself, and David.   Our new work is on the gallery website:

The autumn exhibition at the Bow Valley Club was beautifully hung  by the staff of Stephen Lowe. Four of us had our work displayed in the dining room.

These are some of my recent images.

These are the new pieces for the Fall exhibition at Stephen Lowe Art Gallery in Calgary. The smaller ones are oils and the larger ones are acrylic. Looking forward to a fun evening with fellow artists. The opening for the public is October 10th at 4:30 P.M. at the Bow Valley Square location downtown. Please send me an email at Dockstader@shaw.ca if you have any questions about any of these pieces, re size etc. Paintings will be framed by the gallery and should you choose to change the frame they will be happy to assist you with your choice.

     Will be in a group exhibition this October. The opening is October 10th would love to see you there.

As it has been raining for most of the day I thought I would put the finishing touches on this 48X48 acrylic of Rawson Lake. Lewis hiked to the top of the ridge with Terry.
