Autumn Glow

This is an original 9-3/4" x 12-1/2” framed watercolour available for $295.00.

Autumn is filled with glowing colours and a peacefulness as summer is past and soon the landscape will feel the cold, whistling winds of winter.

It is only the stately evergreens which remain unchanging throughout the seasons.

All Is Calm

This is an original 10" x 14” framed watercolour.

I spent many summers as a child in the province of Quebec. Lac-Sergent is one of several places we often visited.

It is a community along the shores of Lac-Sergent in Portneuf Regional County Municipality in Quebec. It is approximately 30 miles (50 kilometers) north-west of Quebec City.

Thank you to returning collector Mme. Cecile Desrochers of Ste. Ramon, Quebec on her purchase of this painting. Her late husband, M. François Desrochers was the mayor from 1981-1985.

Dark Reflections

It seems most of the time it is in the early morning or in the evening that the lakes become still. When the wind has died down for the day and long reflections are cast across the peaceful waters.

Thank you to new purchaser Mrs. Judith Heath of London, Ontario for adding this painting to her collection.

OSWOA - Frozen Morning 1-2

It won't be long before this is what the mornings will look like on Lake Chemong. The trees on the distant shore covered with frost or snow and the lake frozen over. Everything wrapped in cold silence with the chance of freezing fog to start the day.

Some of the shore line bushes having a few tenacious leaves clinging tightly to the branches and the long grasses in their brown and gold winter colours.

ACEO - More Ladybugs 4-6

Now that I am back from Aruba and getting used to the cooler weather I am getting back into my routines. Today I am sitting at KAGS with the Outdoor Painters' Group Show called Here and There.

Ladybug 4

I enjoy painting barn board with its wide range of colours an textures. Each piece is different, some having knots, or holes once the wood has dried and the knots have fallen out, the woodgrain patterns, and all the distress marks on the boards.

Stone Cold

I enjoyed doing this painting with the contrasts of the soft background trees and the hard outline of the rock in the foreground.

Running the strong, darker shadows of the rocks across the snow and the paler shadows indicating the drifts in the snow.

Stone Cold is an original 5" x 7” framed watercolour available for $85.00.

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