Progressions V opened today at Queen Elizabeth Park Community and Cultural Centre in Oakville. This is third time I have participated in a travelling exhibition. There are 29 12"x16" landscape paintings by 29 artists. The works, which were painted in the Pine Cottage at the McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinberg, will be shown in 5 locations in Ontario including the McMichael .

John Leonard RCA organized this exhibition of work. Many of the participating artists have been mentored by John and we are grateful for his involvement.

My painting 'Burnt' abstractly considers the area in the Okanagan Lake valley which has been hit by devastating fires in recent years. The painting is an echo originating in my previous Okanagan Lake series, done in the manner of the current series with black textured underpainting.
