Quiet Time 1

Today I was painting with the Buckhorn Tuesday Painting Group. At lunchtime I decided to go to Mainstreet Landing one of the local restaurants that is on the water.

The lake was calm and peaceful with none of the boat traffic that is there during the summer when the locks are open. While waiting for my meal I did this sketch.








Back at class I finished inking in the sketch. Later I may do a watercolour painting of the same scene.

This is an original 3-1/4" x 8-1/2” framed pen and ink and is available for $125.00.

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

Weeds

In the many sheltered areas around my barns the weeds are able to find a foothold.

This is a scene I often see in winter; the dried stalks of the weeds covered with the freshly fallen snow highlighted against the barn board.

Thank you to Mrs. Mary Smith of Lakefield, Ontario on her selection of this original 2" x 4” framed watercolour painting for her art collection.

Pansies

This is a small 2" x 4” original, framed watercolour and is available for $45.00.

Pansies always seem to be such a bright, happy flower. This is one of a number of small floral paintings I am working on currently.

Now it is time for me to go to the Annual General Meeting for the Kawartha Artists’ Gallery.

Summer Evening

This one of the local farms you could see almost anywhere on a summer afternoon where the days are hot, humid and hazy.

Often the storm clouds build in the sky and you can hear the sound of thunder. Sometimes the clouds pass without sending the rain down on the dry land which, when the hay is drying on the ground is a blessing. Other times the skies darken and the rain pours down and is accompanied by the lightning.

This is an original 6-1/2" x 10-1/2" framed watercolour is available for $180.00.

Buckhorn Artists' Group Blog - Show Updates

I have updated the Buckhorn Artists' Group blog with a listing of shows some of the various artists in the Group are exhibiting their work in during the month of November.

If you get a chance come out and visit them at one or all of the shows.

Starting to Snow

We have already had a few hard frosts in the morning and it won't be long before there is snow on the ground.

When I go for a walk through the fields this is a scene I often see along the fence lines.

This is an original 6-1/2" x 13-1/2” framed watercolour available for $210.00.
