Northumberland Lupins

16x20 acrylic on canvas
 Lupins – Northumberland Strait NS (MHS) - April 2022
   The Northumberland Strait offers Nova Scotia a multitude of ‘perfect views’ of both New Brunswick and Prince Edward Island. Most of our coastal fields support a vast variety of native wildflowers including Queen Anne lace, black eyed Susan’s, daisy’s, clover and yes lupins.
   The Michelle’s hat series (MHS) - Betty Calder has reproduced on canvas paintings from photographs her daughter M Calder has taken around Nova Scotia.  A percentage of all proceeds from sales of the MHS will be donated to TN (trigeminal neuralgia) research.  
   Betty Calder began professionally painting in 2021, after being forced to retire due to a disability called Trigeminal Neuralgia (TN). She has been a cottager on the Northumberland Strait for over 50 years and dreams of one day making it her permanent home.
