A member of the four-person Watercolours West group of ar- tists, Noble said her paintings are of flowers and plants that grow wild on the North Shore. She also does animals, but not too often. ‘‘I did do the original sea otter that was born at the (Vancouver) aquarium but that painting won’t be at the show.”’ Her works range in size from 10 inches square to 28 by 36 inches. “In botanical illustrations all sub- jects are supposed to be painted ‘life size’? she explained. “If I’m doing an arbutus branch it has to be the same size.”’ ; This is so the viewer can ap- preciate, the subject’s detail ‘and have an ‘idea of the size relation- ship between each of the plant's leaves or flowers, she said. . “¥t?s | very representational,’’ ‘said Noble, who has been painting all hes life but ‘really seriously for . the last 10 years.”’ ‘In 1984, Noble won a bronze medal at: the Royal Horticultural Society show in London. ‘‘It was a ‘loose group of wild flowers from the Pacific Northwest.’’ The Watercolours West show wil! also feature watercolor artists Belle Taylor, Valerie Pfeiffer and Barbara Conder. Guest artist is soapstone carver Noreen Fairweather, who creates bears, ’ owls and other wildlife figures. The show will held in the Floral Hall of Vancouver’s Van Dusen Gardens from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. Dec. 6-7. Admission to the event is free. ’"86 RENAULT DELUXE GTi iN a ‘ “Cts for Cooking.
