I take trips up to the Sunshine Coast often and stop all along the way to take images of the amazingly beautiful rugged northwest coastline. I especially love the thousands of little islands that dot the westcoast. They are like stepping stones, skipping along the shoreline inviting me to walk along the water's edge.

This is a pattern on the inside of a piece of bark in my yard. I think it may be hieroglyphics. There is something here. Someone get this tattooed on their lower back asap.
Miami Wynwood neighborhood is a mecca for a very large street art scene. Not even trees are free from art work as you can see this living mural by Jake Cordero. I really like the colors used, the design is very organic and just flows well.
Silver birches are a common sight in the low lying areas of the Fraser Valley and can be seen on the lower rolling hills leading up to the majestic mountains that hug the coast. In the fall they create a riot of golden and orange color that is truly beautiful to see. Walking with my dogs through a local forest of birches is what inspires me to paint the birch trees.

When the light shines through the forest near my home where I walk with my dogs it is magical. This original watercolor painting is inspired by that experience.

The Window Tree
This is an assemblage/ found object necklace made from antique velvet fabrics, brass chain, strings, and bird and findings. An image from one of my photographs of a lonesome winter tree is covered with little house made of mica and sewn on to the work. This piece was all hand stitched.
. To wear the necklace I crocheted a chain from soft variegated ribbon. The piece can be tied on with the ribbon to whatever length you like. The focal piece is a 3 square. The necklace is 18 inches long as it hangs from the ribbon.

Here is a great way to bring the scent of nature and spirituality into your home! My inspirational "Wishes" tree print represents the “Tree of Life” concept, the idea that all life on earth is interconnected.
I was recently attending a mindfulness retreat with Thich Nhat Hanh at Deer Park Monastery. The Ocean of Peace meditation hall was overflowing, spilling out the open doors into nature. I was sitting outside listening to Thich Nhat Hanh's dharma talk and noticed a couple of children focused on making art with the tree bark upon which I was sitting. I had to capture this creation with my camera. The children were so absorbed, and yet not attached to what they were doing. It did not seem they needed any kind of approval from anyone. They received their joy from doing and being in the present moment, not needing to show anyone.

I found the owls on sale several years ago and finally decided to use the crushed shell on them. Since the picture I dry-brushed a light gray paint around the edge of the head so that it shows up better from a distance. Several others have aqua stars and glitter tile pieces within the shell. They are kind of funky fun! :)

Two beautiful Australian gum trees, standing tall before a landscape of grass, clear blue skies and many more gum trees in the distance. I captured this image from the famous Lane Cove National Park in Sydney, and in the background one can see the buildings of the Chatswood skyline, a nearby city and Sydney suburb.

Eucalypts, commonly known as gum trees, form an integral part of the Australian identity with the bush. From the children's song Kookaburra sits in the old gum tree through to the distinctive smell of eucalypts to iconic paintings and photographs, eucalypts are an essential part of Australian culture, featuring in art, music and literature.

Eucalyptus, Corymbia and Angophora are three genera within the Myrtaceae family that are all known as gum trees because of the gooey sap they exude.
Angophora costata is found growing right across the Sydney sandstone region. It's commonly known as Sydney Red Gum because its sap is red. It was this tree that inspired Sir Joseph Banks to call them gum trees.
With over 900 species of gum trees, it's probably not surprising that aboriginal people have used them in so many different ways over the years.
Clarence says that many older people used the gum as an adhesive, a sweet lolly, or even as a toothache remedy.
The leaves also contain a useful ingredient - eucalyptus oil - which is now used world-wide for range of applications. Clarence says that the oil from the Peppermint Gum (Eucalyptus piperita) was used by the first fleet doctors to treat the convicts and the marines.
Many gum trees are identified by the uses of their bark. For example, the wood of the ironbark tree is extremely hard and was used for making tools and weapons.
Different parts of the stringy bark tree were also to make various objects, including canoes and paddles. The inner bark was used to make string by soaking it and weaving two strands together. Clarence says the resulting string is "really strong and quite good to use."
Timber from many of the trees is used to make coolamons - which are a curved wooden tray - and are used to carry things in. Other uses for timber included musical instruments such as bilmas or clap sticks and, of course, the yidaki or didgeridoo.
Clarence says, "Whether you call them Eucalyptus, Corymbia, Angophora, Ironbark, Stringybark - it doesn't matter! They're all gum trees and they're iconic to the Australian landscape."
Painting these birch trees was a great opportunity to practice dry brush techniques when doing the bark on the tree trunks.

This watercolor painting is from an image I took when visiting Long Beach on Vancouver Island. In the morning we woke up to fog and by the early afternoon it lifted to show an amazing vista of beach, sand, sky and rain forest. It was an awesome experience.

When I Am Among the Trees
When I am among the trees,
especially the willows and the honey locust,
equally the beech, the oaks and the pines,
they give off such hints of gladness.
I would almost say that they save me, and daily.
I am so distant from the hope of myself,
in which I have goodness, and discernment,
and never hurry through the world
but walk slowly, and bow often.
Around me the trees stir in their leaves
and call out, “Stay awhile.”
The light flows from their branches.
And they call again, “It’s simple,” they say,
“and you too have come
into the world to do this, to go easy, to be filled
with light, and to shine.”
