This was at sunset in late March just below the lock in Young's Point. What I liked about the scene was the strong contrast of the silhouetted shoreline trees and the reflections of the sky into the areas of open water.

Baskets and Jar
I have started two still life paintings using baskets and a limited palette of four colours: alizarin crimson, burnt sienna, raw sienna and French ultramarine blue.
I enjoyed working with the wood grain on the tabletop. The other I will post at a later time when it has been completed.
Thank you to new collector Mrs. Donna Yeomans of Lakefield, Ontario on her purchase of this 9" x 12” framed watercolour painting. SOLD

Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog
With this being the 22nd year since the Buckhorn Artists' Group started showing together I thought it was about time to start a blog about the Group and its members.
I will try to post something to the blog about a member of the Group or some of its history at least once a month.

Snow Thistle
I had noticed a number of Scotch thistles in bloom during the summer along my fence line that had attracted a flock of goldfinches to them looking for the seeds.
This is what it looks like now after one of our major winter snow storms has come through leaving just the top of the thistle to bravely peek its snow crowned head above the top of a snow drift.
This original 5" x 11” framed, watercolour is available for $225.00 by contacting the artist. SOLD
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Stormy Skies
With all the rain we have been having lately I think it fitting to show a painting of the view from one of my kitchen windows showing a stormy sky. I hope we will soon get warmer temperatures and sunny days.

Snow Covered
The weatherman keeps saying that next we are going to get some unseasonably warm weather. But the latest snowstorm has left everything in shades of white looking much like this painting.
Congratulations to returning collector Mme. Cecile Desrochers of Ste-Ramon, Quebec on her purchase of this 11" x 15" framed, original, watercolour painting. SOLD

Information About OSWOA
The OSWOA art movement officially began with the launch of over 50 simultaneous auctions on Ebay by a dedicated group of self representing artists on the evening of 28 September 2006.
OSWOA is an acronym for “Original Small Work Of Art”.
All any art needs to do to be qualified to use the OSWOA acronym is to follow the guidelines listed below:
- Art must measure 4” x 6” within an eighth of an inch
- Art must be Original (No Reproductions)
- Art must be thin enough to easily fit into a 4”x 6” photo album sleeve, so collectors can create individual album galleries of OSWOA art.
Clear and Cold
The OSWOA group set a minimum advertised price policy on OSWOA art and should begin at $9.95 or higher.
Anyone is free to use OSWOA as long as the art being described with the acronym adheres to the guidelines for OSWOA as written above.
OSWOA are the perfect size to put into a standard 8” x 10” frame with a 2” mat and hang them on the wall as traditional art as individual pieces, or displayed as a group of four paintings within a 16 x 20” frame.
Many collectors prefer to keep their OSWOA in photograph albums and display them as a collection. There are photo albums in various styles and colours, having a wide variety of cover designs.
Dark Secret
Photo albums are available with photo-safe – acid, pvc and lignin free materials which will keep your OSWAO collection safe for many years.
The OSWOA shown here are all original watercolour paintings using Artist quality Winsor & Newton paint on either 140lb. or 300lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. They are priced at $30.00 each and sold unframed.
On the back of each original painting you will find its OSWOA inventory number, the title of the painting, the name of the artist, the year it was completed and the artist’s signature.
Thank you for your interest. I hope you enjoy the artwork.
