Spray

This was a painting that I had started a while ago (see posting 26 July 2010) and after looking at it for a while I decided to make it more dramatic that it needed to be cropped down.














I put a wash of colour over the rocks to darken them slightly and decided to leave well enough alone.

This 6-1/2" x 9-1/4" original watercolour painting when framed will be available for $195.00.

Overpowering Forces

The eastern shore of Aruba is constantly barraged by the wind and the waves.

The well-known Natural Bridge was created over thousands of years of pounding surf which caused the coral limestone rock to erode. The Bridge was one of the largest formations of its type in the world, having a span of over 100ft (30.5m) and over 25ft (7.6m) high. It was an impressive tourist attraction until its collapse in the early morning hours of 02 September 2005, when the powerful waves finally caused it to become unstable and break apart.














In its place at the same location, just a few feet away, another smaller bridge has formed known as Baby Bridge.

This is one of a number of paintings I started of the waves crashing against the rock face in Aruba a few years ago (see posts on 30 Oct 2010 and 12 Mar 2012).

I added the texture to the cliff  and spray from the waves splashing up against the rock face.

Lake's Edge

Today is a bright and sunny day and I thought a painting of Chemong Lake showing the promise of things to come would be appropriate as temperatures are warming up in preparation for the summer.

Congratulations to new collector Mr. John Roesch of Burlington, Ontario on his purchase of this original 5-1/4" x 7" framed watercolour painting.

Cottage Country

In the region known as the Kawarthas there are a multitude of lakes dotted with small islands and great fishing.

This is one of the fishing holes on Lower Buckhorn Lake known for its largemouth bass.

This original 3" x 4" pen and ink drawing is available matted and shrink wrapped for $40.00.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork.

I have posted the biography of another member of the Buckhorn Artists' Group, Deborah Wasson to the blog as well as an example of her artwork.

Birch Forest

This is another painting I started a while ago when I was painting in acrylic (see post on 19 August 2011).

I added the markings on the birch trees using a mix of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.

I added the leaves to some of the tree branches with a mixture of raw sienna and cadmium yellow light.

This original 6-1/4" x 10" framed acrylic painting is available for $150.00.

Autumn Breeze

This is a painting I started a while ago and decided to complete (see post on 17 August 2011).

I did some more work on the tree trunk and branches. Then I added leaves to the branches, on the ground and a few that the wind had picked up and carried away.

This original 7-1/4" x 10-3/4" framed acrylic painting is available for $150.00.
