Bend in the Road - A Work in Progress

I was working on this painting with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painters which meets on the 2nd and 4th Tuesday each month from September to the beginning of May.














I will post this painting at a later date when it is completed.

Poppies

This is an original, 1-1/2" x 4” framed watercolour.

With the unseasonable warm weather we have been having my poppies are just starting to come up out of the ground. They are one of my favourite flowers. It is such a shame that you can only enjoy their beauty for such a short time. I look forward to June when they are all in bloom.

Congratulations to Mrs. Dawn E. Cox of Peterborough, Ontario for adding this painting to her collection. SOLD

Maple and Fence

This is a framed, small work of 4-1/4" x 4-1/4” in watercolour, available for $85.00. SOLD

Winter is a good time of the year to study the way a tree looks without the leaves and to learn about the under laying structure.
















This is a study of a lone maple tree along a fence line.

Thank you for taking the time to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Rosy Morn

Another beautiful day has dawned and this little 3-1/2" x 7" painting is what I worked on this morning. It shows the tranquil colours of early morning reflected into a calm lake.

When it is framed it will be available for $85.00.










Now I have to get my paintings ready and loaded into the car for the Women in Art Show this evening.

Hopefully we won't get the rain they are calling for later today, but it is better than more snow.

Kennel Clip

An original, 4-1/2" x 5-1/2” graphite pencil drawing, framed and is available for $125.00.

This is the fourth in a series of poodle clips.


















Most poodles are kept in a kennel clip for ease of grooming, having only their face feet and base of tail clipped right down and most of the coat clipped short, usually leaving a pom on the tail and the hair on the top of the head scissored back. Keeping the coat shorter also provides comfort in the hot weather.

This image is also available as a package of 10 cards complete with envelopes for $8.00.

English Saddle Clip

This is an original 4-1/2" x 5-1/2” graphite pencil drawing, framed is available for $125.00 by contacting the artist.

This is the other acceptable clip for adult poodles competing in conformation classes in the show ring and is called the English Saddle clip.

















It differs from the Continental clip in that there is more of a pack left to protect the hind end than just hip poms and an additional bracelet on the upper hind leg.

This image is also available as a package of 10 cards complete with envelopes for $8.00.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork.
