Magnetawan River 2 - A Work in Progress

This is another painting of the Magnetawan River I started while at the paint out at the Knopfli Inn  at the beginning of the month.

I scraped out the foreground rocks and will post this painting at a later date once more of it has been completed.

Now, I am off to start hanging the Outdoor Painters' show at KAGS. The opening for this show is on 30 October 2011 from 1-4pm.

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

Porcelain Plant - A Work in Progress

Today we had Sharon Taylor as the guest artist for the Buckhorn Artists' Group.

We worked on paintings of various fruits, vegetables and plants. I chose the porcelain plant because of its bright and colourful berries. Using watercolour for the background and plants, and then coming back in with black ink to add details.

This painting still needs a lot of work and I will post it once it is completed.

Horse Sketches IV

After the Executive meeting at KAGS I stopped and did a couple of quick sketches of Arabians grazing in a field and finished it when I returned home.













This original 3" x 3-1/2” pen and ink drawing is available matted and shrink wrapped for $25.00.

Autumn Woodland - A Work in Progress

This is one of the scenes I came across while driving on highway 121 on the way up north to visit with friends. Fortunately my husband is very patient and will stop so I can sketch and take reference photographs.

After we arrived at our destination, the men went out to the workshop to tinker on some new project that needed fixing, while Carol and I worked on new paintings.














This is the under painting from my sketch and photographs. I will post it at a later date once more of it is finished.

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

Autumn Splendour - A Work in Progress

There is nothing like hiking along a new trail through the forest on a crisp autumn day and coming across something unexpected. In this case the path led to a small waterfall and brook coursing its way down the steep hill.














I stopped and made a quick sketch and took a number of reference photographs before continuing on the trail which eventually turned away from the brook and led back to our original starting point.

Later that day when I returned home I put in the under painting of the scene while it was still fresh in my memory.

I will post this painting at a later date once more if it has been completed.
