Cold Comfort

This is a small square 4-3/4" x 4-3/4” original, framed watercolour for $75.00.

It is early morning with the rosy tint of dawn causing the trees to cast long shadows over the snow. The large white pines like sentinels clothed in green needles stand bravely, sometimes bent but not broken against the elements of Winter.


















I have just received confirmation that both paintings, Aurora Borealis (see post on 04 April 2010) and Pristine Beauty (see post on 13 June 2010) I submitted to The Lindsay Gallery for their Annual Juried Show of Fine Arts/Visual Arts have been accepted and my painting Aurora Borealis received an Honourable Mention Award.

The juror was Susan Holland, Curator of The John M. Parrott Art Gallery, Belleville, Ontario.

The Opening Reception is on Thursday, 08 July from 7-8:30pm. The exhibition runs from 02-30 July 2010.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Blue Shadows

With living on the top of a hill I often see the trees lined up along the top ridge of a hill, their shadows race downhill like blue grey toboggans leaving a trail in the snow.



















This original 7-1/4" x 7-1/2” framed watercolour is available for $165.00.

Today I have to take two paintings over to The Lindsay Gallery for their Annual Juried Show of Fine Arts/Visual Arts.

Birch Bark

This is a small original 3-1/2" x 4” framed watercolour for $95.00.

This is another of the scenes I came across while driving along the roads. I will often pull over to the side and either sketch (if I have the time) and/or take a photograph as reference for later when I wish to paint.

Gateway 1

This is a scene I came across last winter while out driving along the road to visit a friend.

It looks as though I am on a winter painting spree as I have three other snow scenes started that I will complete and post over the next couple of days.

This is an original 3-1/4" x 5-1/4” framed watercolour for $95.00.

Snow Shadows

This is a small original 3-1/2" x 6-1/2”  framed watercolour available for $85.00.

I enjoy painting snow scenes, and the way the shadows trace their way across the snow covered ground.











Today I have three shows to take down; the one at Griffin's Greenhouse where I am demonstrating at today which closes at 4:00pm, the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale which closes at 5:00pm and "On the Small Side" at the Sasquatch Gallery in Keene which closes at 6:00pm. It looks like it will be a busy day for me.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.
