Winter Morning

Winter Morning is an original 5" x 7” framed watercolour painting.

Once the sun comes up fully and shines its bright light on the snow everything glitters like a field covered with diamonds.

The pine trees stand out in bold relief against the snow and sky casting their moving shadows across the snow at the direction of the sun.

Thank you to Ms. Sylvia Smith of Scarborough, Ontario on her purchase of this painting for her art collection.

Evening Song

There is something very peaceful about the lake once the sun has set and the warm afterglow is reflected in the calm waters.

This is the final painting in the series "A Day on the Lake" (see posting of the other three Tranquility on 13 November 10, Golden Glow on 14 November 10 and 15 November 2010.

Congratulations to new collectors Glen and Glenna Russell of Iroquois, Ontario on their selection of this painting.

Before the Storm

This is the third in a series of a "Day on the Lake".

Often on those hot, humid summer days a thunderstorm will roll in bringing rain, light up the sky with flashes of lightning and the sound of thunder will echo across the lake. Just as quickly it will be gone.

For the first two in the series see Tranquility on my posting 13 November 2010 and Golden Glow on 14 November 2010.

Before the Storm is an original 9-3/4" x 14” framed watercolour. Congratulations to David McKinstry of Lakehurst, Ontario on his selection of this piece.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork.

Golden Glow

In early morning on Buckhorn Lake there is a peaceful stillness; a relaxing silence. Long before the noise of motor boat engines and the sounds of dogs barking and people shouting.

This is the second in a series of "A Day on the Lake" (see the first, Tranquility on yesterday's posting). Golden Glow is an 8-3/4" x 10-1/4” framed, original watercolour.

Congratulations to Mr & Mrs Scott Pyne of Kingston, Ontario on their selection of this painting for their collection.

Tranquility

This is the first of four paintings on Buckhorn Lake depicting the changes during the course of a day.

This is in the early afternoon, on a hot summer day. You can see the shimmer of a haze on the horizon. There is only a slight breeze to stir the hot humid air.

Tranquility is an original 9-1/4" x 14” framed watercolour available for $270.00.

Winter Whimsy

Late afternoon in early winter, snow clouds roll across the sky.

A lone horse out in the field nibbles on a few blades of grass still showing above the snow as the cold wind ruffles its mane and tail.













It won't be long before the snow completely buries the grass beneath layers of ice and snow which will not reappear until spring arrives.

Thank you to new collector Peterborough Equestrian Centre of Peterborough, Ontario on their purchase of this original 13-3/4" x 20-3/4” framed watercolour.

Canvas Confidential - Five Trees

Today I painted with the Outdoor Painter' Group at KAGS today.

I decided I had better work on my 8" x 10" painting submission for Canvas Confidential, which will be held at the Lindsay Inn, 354 Lindsay St. S., Lindsay, Ontario on 18 November 10.

This is an acrylic painting which I did using a palette knife rather than a brush. It gives an interesting effect, which goes well with snow and pine trees and doesn't take very long to complete.

Now I had better deliver this painting with the Five Trees to The LindsayGallery so I don’t miss the deadline.

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