Red Roses
My husband, Ron gave me a dozen red long stemmed roses for Valentine's Day.The wonderful scent of the rose is only enhanced by seeing the beauty of the deep rich red velvet petals against their shiny dark green foliage. The rose is truly a queen among flowers.

Sunset on Buckhorn
This is an original, 7-1/4" x 11” framed, watercolour.
One of the things I miss during the winter is being able to go out on the lake in either the boat or with the canoe and watching how the silhouetted trees are reflected into the calm evening waters as the sun sets.
Congratulations to new collector Mrs. A. Louise Lindsay of Richmond Hill, Ontario on her purchase of this painting. SOLD

Downhill Rush
Today they are having the opening ceremonies for the 2010 Winter Olympics being held here in Canada out at Whistler, B.C. It seems fitting that I have found a series of rough sketches that I had started last summer of my father ski jumping, my daughter snowboarding and my husband cross country skiing and both my daughter and husband downhill skiing.
In the old family albums I have photographs from the 1930's and 1940's of my father when he used to ski jump in Trois-Rivières, Québec; where in 1941 he was the Québec Provincial Champion. I have used some of these photographs as reference material for some of the sketches.
I still have his old, heavy wooden skis in that he used in the attic and one day I will do a painting of them.
It is amazing how much the equipment has changed since that time, becoming wider and lighter more aerodynamic to sustain the flight time. The clothing from sweaters and pants to the streamlined one piece suits of today.
The style while the skiers are in flight after leaving the ramp has changed as well, from having the arms straight out front to being held behind for a more streamlined profile.
I think they will make a nice grouping with this 7-1/2" x 11” watercolour of a downhill skier as he plunges down and almost vertical slope, pushing it to the limit as his speed increases.
This original, framed painting is available for $250.00.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Wine Bottles and Grapes
I find still life relaxing and enjoy moving the various elements of the composition around to create different effects.
How the light creates highlights and shadows on the folds of the cloth and the way different degrees of transparencies in the glass have such interesting reflections and distortions.
This 9" x 12” original, framed watercolour is available for $245.00.

Fence Line
Looking out my living room window at a snow scene like this makes me very happy to be back inside with a roaring fire in the fireplace.
At the back of the house there are snow drifts almost 2' (.61m) deep, which I had to break a trail through in order to fill all the bird feeders. At least they won't go hungry and I enjoy the many varieties of birds that come to visit.
This is an original 9-1/4" x 12-1/4" framed, watercolour available for $225.00.
