Some of my most cherished moments are walking our dog Copper through the paths around our home.  My son often joins us and the fresh air, filtered light, and good company heal my soul.  May this original landscape painting remind you of the natural places you go to refuel your energy.

Some months here in Muskoka, it seems to snow every day.  After the snow storms have passed we are left with picture-perfect scenery and everything is fresh and clean.  Trees laden with snow and the skies crisp and blue.  Bring a piece of Canadian wintery magic home with you today with this winter landscape painting.

Nothing is quite so cozy as having a warm little cabin getaway to enjoy our Canadian winters!  Whether you're an avid skier, a snowmobile enthusiast, or simply like to sit by an open fire, Ontario winters offer lots to do and enjoy.  Bring a little piece of the winter magic home with this sweet original painting.

Captured in this small original painting is the play between light and shadow among the branches and leaves in the forests around my Muskoka home.

In Canada, we learn to embrace every season, especially if you love the outdoors like my family and I do!  So when the field near our home flooded and then turned to ice my boys and I strapped on our skates and embraced the free rink that old man winter had provided.  This painting was inspired by that Canadian winter day with my boys.

Some of the most glorious morning walks that I enjoy are when the Muskoka snows are melting and I can once again smell the scent of fresh earth. Sunlight filters through this spring forest painting with pinks, yellows, and muted greenery sprouting from beneath the melting snow.

Windswept pines line the shores of many lakes in Ontario.  This tiny 5x7" acrylic landscape painting features the beauty of the often rugged but serene Canadian landscape.

5x7 acrylic on 1 1/2" deep canvas

Sandy beaches, afternoons on the boat, and tiny islands dotting the hundreds of lakes in Ontario.  Summer memories are cherished with this tiny 5x7" acrylic on canvas painting.

It is the little things that seem to make up the best parts of our days.  Moments with family, warm sunny spots, cozy times with a pet, tiny flowers.  I am trying to remind myself to cherish those seemingly little things that add up to be the real and truly important things in my day-to-day life.

I created this piece with these thoughts in mind and I hope that they bring to mind your "little things" that are actually the important things.

The trees in the small Ontario town that I live in must learn to thrive throughout all four of our Canadian seasons from subzero to heatwaves, and everything in between.  I'm in awe of their resilience, and how they can grow to tower above my head on my morning walks.

There is something about their gentle presence that reminds me to stay resilient and not give up, and it is my wish that these colourful Muskoka tree paintings do the same for you.

This group of trees "speaks" to me as I drive through my little town in Muskoka, Ontario every morning.  Each tree is growing slightly differently, but still supporting each other, and reminds me of a sisterhood or tribe.

Let this painting remind you of your time in nature and your "tribe".

Each piece in the Exhale Collection was created with the intention to speak of the places where we heal.  Inside of ourselves, in nature, and in the simple beauty of the everyday.

"just as you are" was created to remind us to embrace ourselves exactly how we beautifully are.

The scent of earth, grass, and flowers underfoot, wide-open spaces, quiet and free. 

A little reminder to savour the little things in life that are truly the fundamentals of life.

The crooked trees are the ones that always catch my eye.  

They grow in unexpected ways but always towards the sun.  You can tell that their growth journey hasn't always been easy by the strange directions some of the branches have taken.  But that's what makes them interesting and beautiful.  The imperfections, the uniqueness.  

It wasn't lost on me the metaphors that could be made between trees and us as humans.  I think that even when we face adversities and still forge on, that is when we become most beautiful.  Our crookedness - ever reaching for the sun and refusing to stop blooming makes us who we are.  This tree now has spring buds and I pass it most days when I drive my son to school, but I snapped this photo back in late winter because the crooked branches spoke to me in their "perfect, imperfection".  My apologies for the cheesy song reference... but I do think he's onto something.
