Sunset Silhouette

Most of the cottages on the lakes were closed over the Labour Day weekend and will sit silent and empty until spring arrives next year and the cottagers return once again.

There are a few that return each weekend and will continue to be here enjoying a more quiet and peaceful time on the lake until next month when they close their cottages for the season on Thanksgiving weekend.

This is one of those cottages on Upper Chemong Lake that can be seen from Highway 507 (also called Buckhorn Road or County Road 23).

This is an original framed 3-3/4" x 6-1/4" watercolour available for $85.00.

In the Forest I

I am slowly starting to get everything ready for my show up in Algonquin Park.

I finished this drawing earlier today. If I have the time I may develop this sketch into a painting in either watercolour or acrylic, otherwise it will have to wait until I have the opportunity to show there again.

This original 4-1/2" x 6-1/4" pen and ink sketch when framed will be available for $125.00.

Mid Afternoon Snack

This was part of a much larger arrangement of still life items that was set up this morning for the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group.

I chose to work on this section because I liked the way the dark blue cup was reflected off the white pitcher holding the bouquet of mixed flowers.

I also liked the way the light created the shadow patterns on the folds of the material.

This original 7" x 9" framed watercolour is available for $195.00.

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

Ted D. Bear

Every so often I will set up one of my daughter's old stuffed animals and do a small painting of it.

In this case I did one of her many teddy bears. I wanted to keep it fairly simple without a lot of clutter.

This framed 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" original watercolour is available for $95.00.

Fallen Birches

This is a painting I had started a while ago from sketches and photographs that I had taken the last time I visited my aunt's cottage on Lac-Sergent, Quebec.

It is fairly close to Lac-Blanc where I spent many hours as a child catching tadpoles and minnows; exploring the area with its many abandoned charcoal huts on the edge of the lake.

The trees around this small, shallow lake had grown a lot since I was there as a child, but the peace and quiet only disturbed by the sound of the bull frogs still remained.

This original 10-1/2" x 15" framed watercolour is available for 235.00.

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

Movement

Today I just wanted to play with colour and what better way than with a limited palette on an abstract?

For this painting I used white, black, alizarin crimson and burnt sienna and applied the paint with a palette knife.














It created some interesting effects and has some movement going through the painting.

This original 8" x 10" acrylic painting will be available when framed for $135.00.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork.

The Ones That Got Away

This is a painting I started a while ago (see postings on 08 July 2010, 31 October 2011 and 16 July 2012)and every so often I have been adding things to get it completed.














I added some shadows to the lures to give more of an illusion of roundness.

This original 10-1/2" x 11-1/4" watercolour painting when framed will be available for $345.00.
