Melting

Melting is an original 5-1/4" x 6-1/2” framed watercolour available for $145.00.

This is one of the paintings I worked on while at the Among Friends Art Show and Sale (see posting on 21 May 2011) and at the Shades of Summer Show (09 August 2010).

It needed a few more growies in the foreground and the tree shadow to be darkened down a little more.

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

Maple Tree

This is a maple tree is on the fence line of my neighbour across the road. It is right on top of the hill and there is very little around it to act as a wind break, which is why it leans toward the south.

This original 3-1/2" x 6-1/4" framed, pen and ink drawing is available for $85.00

Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and look at the artwork.

The Window

Today is the second day of the Art Cunanan workshop. We worked on three different paintings today.

This is a quick watercolour painting of sunlight shining through a window.

I would like to thank returning collector Mme. Cecile Desrochers of Ste-Ramon, Quebec on her purchase of this painting.

Horse Sketches II

While waiting for my friend Joanne to get her horse ready for a riding lesson I did some sketches of the other horses as they relaxed in their stalls.

It was interesting to see the different attitudes of the horses as well as the different types of heads depending on the breed all within a short stretch of the barn's alleyway.

Horse Sketches II is an original 9" x 12" graphite pencil drawing and is available matted and shrink wrapped for $95.00.

A Spring Bouquet

While autumn is rapidly approaching and the colours will soon change on the trees, I am thinking about the flowers of spring.

I recently planted a number of bulbs and will have to wait to see them poking their way up through the snow in late March.

The snowdrop and daffodil bulbs I planted inspired this painting of the earliest of my spring flowers.

This is an original 5-1/2" x 15" framed watercolour painting and is available for $275.00.

Please excuse the slight blurring as I had forgotten to take the picture before I framed it up and it is through non glare glass. SOLD

Rural Winter

We are already past the middle of September and the leaves are starting to change. It won't be long before there is snow on the ground.

I just felt like working on something loose and easy without a lot of detail and this is the result.














This original 3" x 5" framed watercolour is available for $125.00.

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

Swampland I

This is a section of the Snelgrove Brook at the bottom end of the lower field on the farm side of the property.

You can walk to the edge of the water and go fishing for Brook Trout.












The birch trees in this painting are no longer there, as the beaver which lives in the Brook have taken them down and used them in building their dam.

Swampland I is an original 3-1/4" x 5-1/4" matted and shrink wrapped, pen and ink drawing available for $25.00.
