Pink Sky

This is an original 9-3/4" x 13-3/4" framed, watercolour.

The soft pastel pinks and peach tones of the early morning sky reflect into the calm water of the lake. The mirror reflections disturbed only by the passing of a shoveller duck.

Aurora Borealis

The Northern Lights have always held a fascination for me. I miss the brilliant colours that can be seen further north than where I currently reside.

Here in the Kawarthas all I am able to see are the palest of yellows, soft greens and on rare occasions a light red. Regardless they are a wonder to behold.

I had started this painting a while ago and recently started working on it again (see posting on 30 March 2010). Today I completed the rocks on the left side and added a little more colour to the water and background shoreline.

 This is an 11" x 15" original, framed watercolour and is available for $345.00. SOLD

Here Kitty Kitty

Chalk pastel is a medium I enjoy working with (except for the dust, but that is why they make fixative).

This painting was created from a few quick sketches and a couple of photographs I had taken of my daughter when she was about 18 months old.












She was trying to coax one of the barn cats over so she could pet its soft white fur. She did eventually succeed even though White cat was unsure about it at first.

This framed 18" x 24” original is available for $395.00 is currently hanging at Showplace as part of my Solo show. SOLD

Poodle Puppy

An original, 5 x 6” graphite pencil drawing, framed. It is available for $125.00 by contacting the artist.

This is the puppy clip that poodles are usually shown in from ages 6 months to 1 year. After that, they will have to change into either the Continental clip (see yesterday's post or the posting on 02 February 2010) or the English Saddle clip (see posting on 03 March 2010).


















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

Show Stance

This is an original, 5" x 6” graphite pencil drawing, framed for $125.00.

Having bred, raised and shown both Standard and Miniature Poodles for many years, it is only fitting that I start with a drawing of them before going onto some of the other breeds.


















This is an adult groomed to perfection, ready to compete and hopefully go on to win Best in Show.

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

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

Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog - Show Updates

I have updated the Buckhorn Artists' Group blog with a listing of shows some of the various artists in the Group are exhibiting their work in during the month of April.

If you get a chance come out and visit them at one or all of the shows.

Aurora Borealis - A Work in Progress

This is a painting I started a number of years ago and I wanted to try and complete it in time to have it for the Hone and Cottage Show at the Evinrude Centre for next month.

I painted in the water and finished the rocks on the right side of the painting.














The painting doesn't need much to complete it. The distant shore needs to be blued slightly and a little of the sky colour should be added to the water on the left side and the rocks on the left side need to be painted.

I will post this painting once it has been completed.
