OSWOA - Landscape

It is amazing how much a scene changes due to the time of day, or the season in which it is viewed.Here are two paintings of the same location.

The first one is in the early morning in late October with the mist rising as the sun is coming up.While the second one is also in autumn but around November when most of the leaves have fallen, with a storm approaching in the afternoon.

It doesn't have the softness of the morning scene and seems to be a much colder painting.













Changing Season

Now I have to finish loading the car and go to and set up the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale at the Norwood Legion Hall - Branch 300, Corner of Alma and King Street, Norwood, Ontario.

I have to have everything ready for the Opening this afternoon from 2:30-5:00pm.

The show runs from the 22-26 June and is open daily from 2-5pm.

ACEO - Ferns 1-3

A few years ago I transplanted a number of trilliums, wild geraniums, Canada violets, a Jack in the pulpit and a couple of ferns to create a wildflower garden at the front of the property.

The wildflowers last such a short time, but the ferns are there until the frost kills them off for the winter. They are such a lovely, delicate looking plant that I enjoy seeing each year.

Ferns 3

I did these three quick sketches of the ferns and may develop them into larger paintings later.

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.

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
