OSWOA - The Flat Islands
I started this painting with the Outdoor Painters' Group on location on Upper Buckhorn Lake.
The two closest islands are known as "The Flat Islands" because the islands are fairly flat and less than ten feet above the water level. Sometimes in the spring they flood, but the trees and plant life cling tenaciously to the land.
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 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $30.00 and sold unframed.

ACEO - Shoreline 3
I had started this is a little painting last year while I was out near Fenelon Falls and finally decided to finish it.
There is a big auction in Peterborough today that we are going to attend. It should be interesting.

Eternity – A Work in Progress
For this painting the paper was soaked in water and then set aside to dry until the sheen was gone. While waiting French ultramarine blue, raw sienna and alizarin crimson were mixed in individual cups.
When the paper was ready each of the colours were poured onto the paper in different areas, some overlapping, some left with just one colour.
Using a tissue, paint was lifted from the top edges of some of the clouds as though they were touched by the rising sun.
Once the paper was still slightly damp a mixture of burnt sienna with a little bit of French ultramarine blue was used to paint in a distant tree line. The bottom edges of the trees were softened with water to give the effect of mist rising around them.
When the paper was completely dry I used a razor blade to lift the sparkle off the surface of the water where the sun strikes it.
I will post this painting at a later date when I complete more of the painting.
Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Winter Song
This is an original 9" x 12” framed watercolour and is available for $210.00.
Today they are still calling for rain, but it still isn't raining; I guess if they keep saying it will rain eventually it will happen.
For this painting I used a new colour, Naples yellow. I applied a thin wash into the snow and used a darker, thicker wash into the sky as an under paint. It gives a different feel to the painting than when I use raw sienna.
Now I have to go to Kawartha Downs and pick up a harness for my colt. We are going to start breaking him to drive this weekend.

Serenity
Today is going to be another hot and humid day; although they are calling for rain overnight I will believe it only when I see it.
For this painting I applied each colour as a glaze and allowed it to dry before the next layer was applied.
The rocks and some of the dead trees were scraped out using a palette knife while the paint was still wet.
This is an original 5" x 6-1/2” framed watercolour available for $115.00.
