Canvas Confidential - Five Trees

Today I painted with the Outdoor Painter' Group at KAGS today.

I decided I had better work on my 8" x 10" painting submission for Canvas Confidential, which will be held at the Lindsay Inn, 354 Lindsay St. S., Lindsay, Ontario on 18 November 10.

This is an acrylic painting which I did using a palette knife rather than a brush. It gives an interesting effect, which goes well with snow and pine trees and doesn't take very long to complete.

Now I had better deliver this painting with the Five Trees to The LindsayGallery so I don’t miss the deadline.

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

Go Fly a Kite

Go Fly a Kite is one of a series of 6-1/2" x 10” watercolour paintings I am working on depicting children playing.

Today I am sitting the Outdoor Painters' Show at KAGS and will be removing my paintings tomorrow when the show comes down to make way for the next art group.

Congratulations to Ms. Penny Pierce of Lakefield, Ontario on adding this painting to her collection.

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.
