<description><![CDATA[I am a Canadian abstract artist with 25 years of experience . I am the owner of an online gallery presenting art from around the world. Artists are welcome to join for free.
I was born in St. Paul's Hospital in Vancouver, B.C. A few years later we moved to Winnipeg, Manitoba, where I spent my childhood and early adulthood. However, I was always extremely homesick and finally in 1982 I moved back to Vancouver, B.C. I love living near the ocean. It gives me a great feeling of freedom, which influences my painting immensely.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[The herons of the Ardeidae Family are a collection of as many as 64 different species that vary significantly in appearance. Though widely distributed across the world, however they cannot survive in extreme weather conditions. Therefore, they are found neither in the Frigid Zones or mountains, nor in the tropical deserts. Herons are one of the wading birds that walk in shallow water spreads in the search of food. For the purpose, they have thin long legs and medium sized bodies. The neck portion of a heron has a unique feature of 'retraction.' The birds can pull their long necks inside, like a compressed spring. A retracted neck appears virtually non-existent. Aesthetics is often the biggest inspiration in the artistic recreations of herons.]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Human figures are the toughest and the most challenging ones to draw. While being realistic, they have to capture the imagination and creativity of an artist as well. With aged figures, the job gets trickier due to weak frames and wrinkles. In the case of human figures, the basic shapes and proportions largely remain the same. For drawing different types of old men, you can experiment with various kinds of shapes, like for drawing a fat man you can use an oval, whereas to draw a short old man you can use small ovals, rectangles, & small circles. ]]></description>

<description><![CDATA[Jellyfish is a water animal with a distinct 'phylum' (classification of 'kingdom') known as Cnidaria. Similar looking animals from the Ctenophora Phylum are also sometimes included in jellyfish. An interesting fact about the jellyfish is that it is not a fish (aquatic vertebrates) as such. This invertebrate is distinguished for its free flowing body with a canopy-like appearance. The middle region of the canopy is made of non-living Mesoglea (similar to jelly), which is almost 90 percent water. Long tentacles (used for catching the prey) extend from the central part of the 'dome,' which create a trailing structure. These beautiful and delicate animals are deadly predators. Although, the fundamental structure remains the same, different subspecies differ in details.]]></description>
