About my on-line Gallery:
I've been weaving these tapestry illustrations for a couple of years. I like to tell stories, so the illustrations come from my imagination. The craft and technique are harder for a new artist. I needed a lot of learn-by-doing.
And now I want you to see my pieces. A public gallery's wall would be a great place to show them off. Meanwhile, this on-line gallery is a great way to view my craft, where-ever you are.
How? In my previous career as a computer programmer, I mastered the coding skills. The parts that you see use HTML and CSS computer languages. The parts you don't see use PHP and database files.
So! Here it is! I am proud and thankful for the art education I achieved at AuArts.ca, both theory and craft, as well as the help I received from friends around Calgary, from on-line tutorials, and the Library.

I live in Calgary, between the mountains and the prairies, a thousand kilometers from the nearest ocean. When I wove the "Caravel" and "Caravel in a Window", I realized that I don't actually know anything about ships, and the sea. Are my portrayals even valid?
On the other hand, Calgary has the Glenmore Reservoir, a nice lake where folks like to sail the smaller boats. And we certainly do have the sun!
So, here is a small sailboat, cutting across the smaller waves, accompanied by seagulls, and under the bright sun.
