The Night Watchman

This is a simple painting that
reminds me of an art friend
who loves crows. I think
they are a nice compostitional
element that softens the picture.


.... Who doesn't love a
night sky on the prairies.

Altered Book Pages




Brenda's Altered Book Project



This is my first "Altered Book" project called "Nature vs Nurture". I can't believe how much fun this has been. No limitations. Total creativity. I can hardly wait to get involved with the Airdrie7 Group and share our multi-faceted creative juices in producing several of these types of books.

2009 Town of Irricana Hay's Garage Mural


This is another of the many murals we have now in Irricana and one of the ones I coorinated as part of my job with the Town. Each time I design murals for the town, I design them so other people (mainly kids) can help paint them. This piece had 20 kids help in some way. It depicts an old fashioned garage scene as the building that is was going on was an old garage owned by the Hay Family. This is just a little piece of history about my town.

One of my new large format pieces painted for Beiseker School's foyer. This piece is representational of things that relate to education including a dictionary on the page defining "education" and other school related words. I hope they will enjoy it as much as I enjoyed painting it.
