What caught my interest was the contrast between the dark water and the white of the water spilling through the dam and the foam floating on the water.
I will post this painting at a later date once it is finished.

Over the Dam - A Work in Progress
This is one of the dams on the Otonabee River in Peterborough.
What caught my interest was the contrast between the dark water and the white of the water spilling through the dam and the foam floating on the water.
I will post this painting at a later date once it is finished.

Sunlight - A Work in Progress
This is a small piece that I have brushed the under painting in and have to decide in which direction I want to take it.It has the feel of a golf course and the white areas on the right side could easily be turned into sand traps.
That may be the way to go with this one.
I will post it once I have it finished.

Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog - Among Friends Show
These are two small paintings I completed on Monday while at the Among Friends Art Show and Sale over the weekend.
I wanted to do a couple of scenes from one of the east coast fishing villages where you can often find boats on the dock being painted, repaired or made ready to go out on the water.
Lobster Traps is an original 3-1/2" x 4-3/4" watercolour available matted and shrink wrapped for $35.00.
The boat houses with all the lobster traps, fishing nets, boat motors, fuel drums and everything needed by the people who earn their living from the sea.
If you go to the Buckhorn Artists' Group blog you can see the daily results of the about what happened during the Among Friends Art Show and Sale.
Keels is an original 2-1/4" x 2-3/4” watercolour available matted and shrink wrapped for $25.00.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.

OSWOA - Sundown 2
If you would like more information about OSWOA please go to my post on 12 March 2010.
The OSWOA shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Windsor & Newton paint on 300lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $40.00 and sold unframed.
Today is the final day of the Art Show at St. Matthew's Church in Buckhorn and it started off warm and sunny and by the afternoon we had rain and thunderstorms.
I worked on various small pieces today which I will post at a later date once I feel they are completed.
Attendance was down considerably from previous years, but three paintings were sold from Heather Grant and Bonnie Windover as well as smaller items from Irene Smith, JoAnne Connell Northey and Bonnie Windover.
I am looking forward to our 21st Annual Shades of Summer Art Show and Sale to be held 06-14 August 2011.

ACEO - Growies 1-3
Growies are put into paintings along the shoreline, by rocks, at the base of trees and in small areas that need something to create interest.Using lemon yellow and aureolin in the leaves and the green mixtures helps to give the painting the impression of new spring foliage emerging after a long winter.

23rd Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale
Today was the opening of our show and we were greeted with a warm and sunny day with temperatures climbing up to 80F (27C); much better than the rain and thunderstorms the weatherman was forecasting.
It was nice to have the crowds come out to visit our show although with this being the first nice day without rain there were lower numbers than on previous years.
One of the photographers from Lakefield Herald came in to cover our show and took photographs of the art exhibited and some of the members of the Group.
Today I worked on a number of smaller paintings including Melting (see posting on 09 August 2010).
I will probably work on this painting again on Monday and will post it then when it is completed.
So far three original paintings have sold from Irene Smith, Helen Sheppard and JoAnne Connell Northey, as well as a number of smaller items from Bonny Windover and Diane Collins.
The hours for our show are:
21 May 11 - 9:00am - 5:00pm
22 May 11 - 12:00pm - 5:00pm
23 May 11 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

Glowing Sky - A Work in Progress
I have just returned from hanging my paintings at St. Matthew's Church in Buckhorn for the 23rd Annual Among Friends Art Show and Sale which opens tomorrow.
Before I left I had washed in a sky using Antwerp blue and alizarin crimson.
I am not sure what I will put into this painting but it does have the potential to be something interesting.
I will post it once I know what to do with it.
