Birch Bark

This is a small original 3-1/2" x 4” framed watercolour for $95.00.

This is another of the scenes I came across while driving along the roads. I will often pull over to the side and either sketch (if I have the time) and/or take a photograph as reference for later when I wish to paint.

Gateway 1

This is a scene I came across last winter while out driving along the road to visit a friend.

It looks as though I am on a winter painting spree as I have three other snow scenes started that I will complete and post over the next couple of days.

This is an original 3-1/4" x 5-1/4” framed watercolour for $95.00.

Snow Shadows

This is a small original 3-1/2" x 6-1/2”  framed watercolour available for $85.00.

I enjoy painting snow scenes, and the way the shadows trace their way across the snow covered ground.











Today I have three shows to take down; the one at Griffin's Greenhouse where I am demonstrating at today which closes at 4:00pm, the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale which closes at 5:00pm and "On the Small Side" at the Sasquatch Gallery in Keene which closes at 6:00pm. It looks like it will be a busy day for me.

Thank you for looking at my artwork.

Pretty Pansies 1

This morning I demonstrated from 10:00am until 1:00 pm at Griffin's Greenhouse, 3026 Lakefield Rd. (formerly Hwy. 28) for the "Art in the Garden Show". The Peterborough and Area GardenRoute is hosting this event at all of the ten member businesses from 10am to 4pm.

While I was there I completed this little original, 2-1/2" x 3-1/2" watercolour which is available for $20.00 unframed.

Members of the Kawartha Artists' Gallery will be at the locations showing and demonstrating their art. By following the link you can also see at which locations some of the members from the Buckhorn Artists' Group will be displaying their work.

It is a wonderful opportunity to enjoy beautiful art while visiting spectacular floral displays when all the gardens are in full bloom.

This afternoon I demonstrated for the last time at the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale at the Norwood Legion Hall - Branch 300, Corner of Alma and King Street, Norwood, Ontario.

The show runs from the 22-26 June and is open daily from 2-5pm. Tomorrow Helen Sheppard will be sitting the show for me.

Ghost Pine

In this piece I was working with various components to bring them together in one painting.

I wanted to have the silvery white trunk of a dead pine silhouetted against a stormy sky, but I also wanted to have a lake with a rocky shore and reflections in the water, as well as the yellowed grasses that are so common at the end of the summer.

I am pleased with the way everything went together in this tall format.

This is an original, framed 5" x 12-1/2” watercolour available for $225.00.

Today is also a fairly busy day for me in that I have demonstrated again at the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale at the Norwood Legion Hall - Branch 300, Corner of Alma and King Street, Norwood, Ontario.

The show runs from the 22-26 June and is open daily from 2-5pm.

Then went to get my paintings from the "Spring into Summer" show at the KAGS and was informed that I had sold a painting just prior to the closing of the show.

I would like to thank new collector Ms. Angela Ross of Norwood, Ontario on her purchase of Day's End (see post on 01 June 2010).

Silver Lining

This is an original 4-1/2" x 6-1/2” framed watercolour available for $125.00.

With living on the top of a hill I see the sky around me and each twenty four hour period is new and different, changing throughout the course of the day, no two the same.

They say that every cloud has a silver lining, and it seems that is very true when the sun shines behind them.














I will be demonstrating at the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale at the Norwood Legion Hall - Branch 300, Corner of Alma and King Street, in Norwood, Ontario today.

The show runs from the 22-26 June and is open daily from 2-5pm.

Summer Trees

Often my horses are left out at pasture once winter has left and the ground has dried sufficiently after the spring rains that the horses' hooves won't tear up the ground and the grass has established itself for the summer. They will only be brought into the barn for feeding, grooming or to be ridden.

This is an original 5" x 7” framed watercolour and is available for $135.00. SOLD 













It is also one of the paintings I have at the Norwood 2nd Annual Art Show and Sale which is being held at the Norwood Legion Hall - Branch 300, Corner of Alma and King Street, Norwood, Ontario. I will also be demonstrating there today.

The show runs from the 22-26 June and is open daily from 2-5pm.

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.
