These paintings were started during the self isolation period in 2020. Continuing to be inspired by the poems of Pauline Johnson, these paintings also reflect my mindset during this time.

Purple shadows tell of dawn	Of great cool drops that fall with sudden splash	Sing to us cedars; the twilight is creeping.	As coming suns dissolve the dark that veils the edge of day.

Night of mid-June — in heavy vapours dying	A sky of blue and grey, Some stormy clouds that play	The suns red pulses beat	What of the days when we two dreamed together Days marvellously fair.

All the day long the vapours played. At Blindfold in the city streets
