Thanks so much for visiting!

I live in Orangeville, Ontario, Canada, and I am surrounded by rural countryside and trails and changing seasons.  This is where my inspiration comes from for most of my work.  I love history and often wonder what was going on in the world when the farmer would build that old rail fence, or cleared his fields.  This is why I call myself
​
"A Brush with the Past" as I love to capture the details of rural history.

I hope you enjoy my art, as much as I enjoyed creating it. ​

About Me

​My Name is Diane Palmer, and I am the creator of the art you will see on these next few pages.

I have always loved to do arts and crafts, especially when the kids were younger, but in later years I started concentrating more seriously on painting and drawing. 

​ I would paint everything from scenes on furniture to tiny drawings and would sell at craft fairs.  I have decided it was time to get online with my own site.
