Golden Glow

In early morning on Buckhorn Lake there is a peaceful stillness; a relaxing silence. Long before the noise of motor boat engines and the sounds of dogs barking and people shouting.

This is the second in a series of "A Day on the Lake" (see the first, Tranquility on yesterday's posting). Golden Glow is an 8-3/4" x 10-1/4” framed, original watercolour.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Scott Pyne of Kingston, Ontario on their selection of this painting for their collection.

Tranquility

This is the first of four paintings on Buckhorn Lake depicting the changes during the course of a day.

This is in the early afternoon, on a hot summer day. You can see the shimmer of a haze on the horizon. There is only a slight breeze to stir the hot humid air.

Tranquility is an original 9-1/4" x 14” framed watercolour available for $270.00.

Winter Whimsy

Late afternoon in early winter, snow clouds roll across the sky.

A lone horse out in the field nibbles on a few blades of grass still showing above the snow as the cold wind ruffles its mane and tail.













It won't be long before the snow completely buries the grass beneath layers of ice and snow which will not reappear until spring arrives.

Thank you to new collector Peterborough Equestrian Centre of Peterborough, Ontario on their purchase of this original 13-3/4" x 20-3/4” framed watercolour.

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.
