The second in the Lavender Farm series, with one of my students as "model." Are you wondering if the fragrance of the lavender was overwhelming? No, not at all.

About Me
- Name: Val
- Location: Salt Spring Island, British Columbia, Canada
Val Konig is well-known on the Salt Spring Island art scene, teaching watercolour and acrylics year-round in her home studio. For several years she studied under world-class painter Allan Edwards, who spent his latter years teaching there. She has received instruction from some of North America's finest artists: Robert Genn, Judi Betts, Christopher Schink, Brian Johnson, and Rex Brandt, to name a few. British Columbia's rugged coastline with its islands, moody sea and sky has had a strong infuence on her painting. Her love of flowers and gardening is evidenced in her floral paintings. "For many years I have focussed on light and its effect on the subject. Back-lighting and cast shadows are particularly exciting for me. Since light (or its absence) can affect us all very powerfully, it will always be a major consideration in my paintings." Her paintings can be seen at the following Salt Spring Island locations: Waterfront Gallery, ArtCraft, and her own annual show with her students at ArtSpring. On Vancouver Island her work can be seen at Honeymoon Bay Retreat. Their website is: www.honeymoonbayretreat.com.
