After visiting my studio a few times, Jim and Shelly Reid joined me one morning in my studio to talk about a special painting for their home. Their walls had recently been painted a warm neutral shade so this presented a great opportunity to explore lots of colour suggestions. Size too was a consideration as they had a specific place in their home in mind. As we talked, they mentioned several paintings that they had seen on my web-site. Although this work was sold, the paintings offered suggestions for a direction and colours.

"Whistler Honey" was commissioned by C Feeney for the client's law offices and hangs in their boardroom. The inspiration for the painting is the road to Whistler and the beauty of Howe Sound. Stands of fireweed rise above poppies and daisies in an unattended garden and are being carried away in the wind. The painting is on two panels of 48" x 36"" for a diptych of 48" H x 72" W.
