Title: Solar Storm
Medium: Acrylic
Artist: Patricia Vicari
About the painting: The sunspots created by explosions on the sun’s surface during a solar storm look oddly like huge sunflowers. I found the granulation of the surface, seen through a telescope quite fascinating and tried to capture the effect here.
Title: Temple of Apollo and Church of St Paul, Syracuse, Sicily
Artist: Pat Vicari
About the painting: I found this an eloquent juxtaposition of the very ancient, and pagan religious monument and an eighteenth-century Christian church.
The wild and rocky Cape Breton shore is a romantic spot, frequented by seabirds and tourists mainly. Â It is ideal to inspire artists, too, and, as you paint (or maybe take photos) you will sea eagles soaring overhead.

Lower Pitt Lake is a charming part of the Fraser River system where I have spent many a happy hour drinking in the peace and observing the great blue herons. The mountains of the Coastal Range are off in the distance.
