The Herd I
Today we had been planning to going to the C.N.E. in Toronto to watch the airshow but with the temperature going up to 78F (25.5C) and feeling like 93F (34C) with the humidity we decided to stay home.
Ron took me out for breakfast and on our way there we went past the airfield for model airplanes on 11th Line. Four people were there and they were flying their planes; we stopped to watch and enjoyed the airshow without having to fight traffic, heat or crowds.
Once we returned home it was a surprise to see the horses grazing peacefully on the infield of the track. I went and caught them while Ron opened the paddock gate and closed the gate to the field. Needless to say we spent the rest of the day fixing the fence where a tree had fallen in one of the storm crashed down and had broken a section of the fence.
After super I did this little 5" x 9" pen and ink drawing of a herd of horses. It will be available matted and shrink wrapped for $30.00.

Last day of Kawartha Arts Festival
Once again I am back at the Kawartha Arts Festival in Fenelon Falls on a very warm 81F (27C) and humid 95F (35C) day. We are fortunate that there is a nice breeze blowing through the building, otherwise it would have been a miserably hot day.
One of the artists due to health problems had to leave the show yesterday and some of the artists on either side of his booth were asked to fill in the empty space. To help this is what I put up on the wall.
I would like to thank Ms. Cynthia Morton of Lindsay, Ontario on the purchase of Lazy Days (see post on 28 June 2012).
Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Coral Reef I - A Work in Progress
Today was the first day of the Kawartha Arts Festival and we are going to have a hot, humid day with temperatures reaching 81F (27C) and the humidity making it feel like 90F (32C).
Fortunately there was a nice breeze blowing which made the weather more bearable and it helped to bring out a steady stream of people to visit the show.
I worked on a number of pieces today including this one of a coral reef in Roatan that I had started last year (see post on 16 March 2013).
I added more coral to both sides of the rock face on Newman's Wall and put in a few more details to define the coral.
I will post this painting at a later date once I decide what kinds of fish and where I am going to place them in this painting.
I look forward to seeing some of you tomorrow for the last day of the show.

Koi Pond - A Work in Progress
Today I was doing the morning shift at Art on Kent and took in my paintings for the next show Reaping and Gathering.
While sitting the Gallery I worked on the placement of the koi on my painting Koi Pond (see post on 21 May 2014).
I printed off a copy of the painting and drew out a number of koi in various sizes and positions on a piece of tracing paper and then cut out each fish and moved them around on the painting.
I may do a couple more of these changing the direction of the painting and changing the koi to see which one looks the best.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

First Love - A Work in Progress
It is another nice, sunny, hot 74F (23.3C) and humid 85F (29.4C) day; so I decided that I would do some work on a couple of quick sketches that I did earlier this month.
I was at the Peterborough Exhibition enjoying some of the horse show in the morning, before I had to go to Buckhorn and sit at the art show in the afternoon.
While walking through the infield among the trailers I came across and endearing scene of a young child hugging her pony in between getting him ready for the show.
I did a quick sketch and took a couple of reference photographs before the moment was lost.
I will post this sketch at a later date once I have completed the outline drawing.
