Down the Beach 1

Yesterday we had our first light dusting of snow, so it won't be long before I will have snow to shovel off the walkway and have the driveway ploughed. But, I have the snow tires on my Jimmy so I am prepared to go driving in winter weather.

I am looking forward to heading to the Caribbean to go diving and I decided to ink in one of my sketches from when we were in Cayo Coco, Cuba.

I forgot to erase my written notes for a larger painting before I took the photograph. They have been removed now.

Once I frame this original 6-1/2" x 8-1/2” pen and ink picture it will be available for $165.00.

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

Autumn Pathway

I will sometime go along when my husband, daughter and her husband go and play golf.

I usually take my camera and sketch book along as there are so many interesting things to draw and later make into paintings.

This is one of the cart pathways at Six Foot Bay Resort and Golf Club towards the end of October just before they shut down for the season.

Thank you to returning collector Ms. Rosalind Van Bemmel of Stouffville, Ontario on her purchase of this original 6" x 8” framed watercolour painting.

Magic Evening

There was a lovely sunset last night with soft glowing colours reflecting back on the calm water.

With the mild temperatures we have had here the lakes haven't even started to freeze up.













There are many gulls still here on the lake that haven't headed further south where the water doesn't freeze over completely in the winter.

This is an original 5-1/2" x 7-1/2” framed watercolour and is available for $125.00.

Bright Day 1

While over visiting with Heather today we spent some time in her sun room which overlooks the lake.

I did this sketch of the property a couple of houses down from her place and inked it in. I may do a painting from this sketch sometime next year.

This is an original 4" x 6-3/4” framed pen and ink drawing and is available for $125.00.

Fence Posts

This is an original 6" x 8” framed watercolour available for $145.00.

A lot of times while driving through some of the back country roads I will find the opening to fields that are either not used or have a crop on them each year. The gate which once stood at the opening is long gone to the ravages of time and the only thing that remains are the weather bleached uprights.

Explosion

Today I was in the mood to splash colour around and worked on a number of interesting backgrounds.

This one reminded me of fireworks exploding. It seems on most Victoria Day holidays we almost always end up having rain. So I wanted to show the multi-coloured downpour of rain to go with the fireworks.

This is an original 4" x 9-1/4” framed watercolour available for $165.00.

Leaves in Winter

It is cooler here today although there is no snow in the forecast.

But I know it won't be long before the white stuff is on the ground to stay until spring.

This original 6" x 8” framed watercolour is now in the collection of Chris Stubbs, thank you for purchasing this painting.
