Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog - Helen Sheppard

I posted Helen Sheppard's biography and a piece of her artwork to the Buckhorn Artists' Group blog.

New World

Early afternoon, during the hottest part of the day the air seems to shimmer with the heat. Without a breeze, the lake is calm and tranquil as though mirroring the sun and sky back towards the heavens.












This is an original 4-3/4" x 8” framed watercolour available for $125.00.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.

Inlet

This is an original 11" x 12-3/4” framed watercolour available for $225.00.















Two children stop at the edge of a high cliff to have their lunch. Looking down from their vantage point, everything below seems so small and unreal, that they are more like toys left scattered about the landscape by a giant's hand.

Evening Sky

The day is drawing to a close, and a recent storm is gradually clearing as the clouds start to break up.















With the colours of the sunset trying to burst through the clouds, it brings the hope that tomorrow will be a sunny day.

Heather's Pine

Today I was at the Kawartha Artists' Gallery and Studio sitting the Spring into Summer show.

While I was there, I worked on this small painting which helped to pass the time on a quiet day.

This is a tree I have painted many times, in various seasons and times of day; I never grow tired of painting it.

Beside the beauty of this tall and stately pine I am usually visiting with my friend and fellow artist Heather Grant, since this tree is on her property.

For this show, it was nice to see a wall with just small paintings hanging together, instead of them getting lost between much larger pieces.















This is an original 5" x 6-3/4” watercolour painting, and when framed will be available for $135.00. SOLD

Day is Done

An original 5-1/4" x 6-1/2” framed watercolour for $125.00.

The winds whips the lose snow around the trees and pushes the clouds across the evening sky. The after glow of the sunset remains for a short time as the sky gradually darkens with the coming of night.















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

Pristine Beauty

Early March when Winter is gradually losing its tight grip on the season as Spring is trying to bring back the warmth to a frozen land. Rivers and lakes are starting to thaw as ice and snow slowly melt.

It is a peaceful time, a time of reawakening. Very soon the first snowdrops will brave the cold to defiantly show their blooms; a herald to the coming and much welcome change.

This is an original 7-3/4" x 11-1/4” framed watercolour available for $295.00. SOLD
