Swamp

This is a 6-3/4" x 6-3/4" original, framed watercolour available for $145.00.

The Snelgrove Brook runs through the back part of my property and is home to a wide variety of wildlife.


















Many of the shore line trees have died with the land being on a flood plain and underwater much of the time. In the early morning, the fog gives it an air of mystery, as the soft breeze carries the muted sounds of animals moving unseen through the wetland.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Rising Mist

Early morning on the lake as the sun gradually brightens the sky and the rising mist shrouds the shoreline in a delicate, gently moving veil. This is a quiet time, silent except for the haunting melody of a loon's call.













This original 6-1/2" x 14-1/4" framed watercolour is available for $275.00 by contacting the artist. SOLD

Spring Thaw

This is an original, 11" x 30” framed watercolour and is available for $670.00 by contacting the artist. SOLD









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.








Thank you to new collectors Mr. and Mrs. Doug James of Atlantic City, New Jersey USA on their purchase of this original 11" x 30” framed watercolour. SOLD
