I am pleased to present my recent western toad watercolors.  The western toad is a local species that has it habitat and breeding area around Nakusp B.C., and every year in the summer people visit Summit Lake and help the toad-lets cross the road.  It is a fascinating experience for both kids and adults.  I got interested in these creatures when a local photographer friend shared some of her toad photos with me, and I was very intrigued with the skin and the eyes.  I love to find subject matter for my artworks that is normally overlooked, and bring attention to what I find beautiful and interesting about it.  I decided to paint these little creatures in the way I believe they see themselves, dignified and wise, comfortable in their close relationship with Mother Nature, and their association with the power of transformation and magic.
All images are available in canvas prints,  paper prints, and greeting cards.
