Old Shed I - A Work in Progress
I started this sketch a number of years ago (see post on 13 July 2013) while on a paint out with the KAGS Outdoor Painters' Group.
On the front side of the building I put some shading under the eaves and then indicated the doorway.
I ran the remaining boards across the front of the building and started putting in some of the leaves from a climbing plant down the right side.
I extended the roof line and put in the rest of the tin roof.
Next I indicated one of the boards leaning against the side of the building and added a little bit of shading to the rain barrel.
I added more grass at the base of the building on each side of the doorway and to the left of the rain barrel.
I will post this drawing at a later date once more work on the building has been completed.
Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

Shades of Spring 1 - A Work in Progress
Overnight we had 3/4" (19mm) and the temperature dropped to 10F (-12C) with the wind chill making it feel like -2F (-19C).
Today I have just returned from seeing the surgeon and had X-rays taken and see how the break is healing.
The best thing is he changed my Zimmer splint to a hinged split which is is wonderful, as now I am able to bend the knee and I can sit in a chair normally.
I started by using Antwerp blue and new gamboge as a background.
When the paper was dry I lightly indicted three birch trunks with a pencil.
I will post this piece at a later once more work on it has been completed.

Morning Sky 7-10 Four Works in Progress
Today Cindy Allan, Norma MacEachern and Diane Collins took my paintings for me to The Douro-Dummer Library Art Gallery, at 425 Douro Fourth Line Road, in the Hamlet of Douro, Ontario to hang the Countryside Art Group's exhibit.
The show runs from 28 February - 30 April 2017, with the Opening Reception being held on 03 March 17 from 7-8p.m.
Unfortunately, I will not be able to be there, but I hope you will be able to come out for the reception or to view the exhibit.
Morning Sky 7
In the meantime, I thought I would like to work with the semi opaque paint again, that my friend gave to me last year.
I started by mixing the colours I wanted to use in the paintings, a beige of brown and yellow, a dull green of blue and beige, a dark green of blue, yellow and a touch of brown, a pink of red and white, a peach of red and yellow, a mauve of red, blue and white, pure yellow and a light blue made with blue and white.
Morning Sky 8
Next I wet the paper and began blocking in basic shapes on each painting, starting with the peach in the sky to keep something in common with all four pieces.
On some of the skies I added a little of the pink colour, on some I added the mauve, others I added some light blue and in a few I added a little bit of pure yellow.
Morning Sky 9
On one of the paintings I put in a little bit of water with the light blue and a shoreline with the beige.
I also added a few hills into the background of the same painting with the mauve.
Morning Sky 10
Next I started adding in some trees using various combinations of the dull and the dark greens.
I will post each painting at a later date once they are completed.
The show runs from 28 February - 30 April 2017, with the Opening Reception being held on 03 March 17 from 7-8p.m.

Pink Sky 6 - A Work in Progress
Today was going to be a very busy day and I am so very fortunate to have such good friends as Cindy and Norma for without them I do not know how I would have managed.
They are going to put up my new paintings in at Rolands' and while they are there, they will take down my current paintings and take them to the Douro Dummer Library Art Gallery and hang them for me for our upcoming show.
While I waited for Christine to come and get me so I could go and see my doctor to have the more than fifty staples removed from my leg, I worked on drawing in the trees.
I will post this piece later once more work on it has been completed.

ACEO - Industry 3
This is the last of three pieces I started a while ago (see post on 22 August 2016) and wanted to finish.
I started by putting in the top area of the sky above the toxic emissions with Antwerp blue, and then added in the warning lights on the smoke stacks and some of the buildings witrh cadmium red and cadmium yellow.
If you would like more information about ACEO please go to my post on 11 March 2010.
The ACEO shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $20.00 and sold unframed.
