Quartet at the Quay Painting

I'm a self-taught artist and love painting scenes in my own unique style. Sometimes the setting is a real place but always embellished with details from my imagination. I want my art foremost to evoke one's emotion, to bring delight and enjoyment to the viewers, so I make sure the painting I create is joyful, meaningful, and tells an interesting story. I live in Canada but most of my works are published in the United States, Japan, and other countries. Several are licensed for jigsaw puzzles, greeting cards, calendars, etc. Thank you for looking.
