ACEO - Tobogganing 1

This picture just seemed to paint itself with very little effort. It reminds me a lot of my daughter, Christine and how much she enjoyed speeding down the front hill below the house on her toboggan.

Fresh Snow 1 - A Work in Progress

Today we had visitors who had come through the Great Lakes on their boat from Winnipeg, Manitoba.

Today seven originals sold from Heather Grant, Barbara McGregor, Irene Smith, Susan Sydney and Diane Collins.

This is a small painting I had started last year (see post on 18 October 2011 and 09 March 2012) as an exercise in using a round brush to create grasses and growies.

Today I added some trees to the painting while sitting at the show. Where I am set up is at the back of the room by the door. It is a nice place to work from as it was another wonderful, warm, and sunny day with a nice breeze blowing through the open door which kept the heat from becoming unbearable.













I would like to thank new collector Tracy Cooper of Toronto, Ontario on her purchase of The Herd (see post on 30 September 2010).

The hours for our show are:
16 Aug 12 - 10:00am - 5:00pm

Shoreline 2 - A Work in Progress

Today we had many people coming to the show from the boats that were tied up and visiting the area before going through the lock.

Rocky Coast

Today brought us sunshine and cooler weather as well  which made it ideal for people to come out to see the art show.

In between speaking with many of the people who attended the show I spent most of the day working on working on this painting of a lighthouse and the rocky coastline.

Originally it was designed to go into an oval mat, but not always being one to stay within the lines I extended the edges and it could also go into a rectangular mat as well.

Just another choice I will have to make when I go to frame it.

This original 3-1/2" x 5" watercolour when framed will be available for $135.00.

Six originals were sold from Heather Grant, Bonnie Windover, Lorraine Ryan and Bonnie Windover along with pottery from JoAnne Connell Northey. Small items were also sold by Diane Collins and Lorraine Ryan.

Street Corner 2 - A Work in Progress

This is another painting I had started in the Doug Mays workshop earlier this year in the spring. It is a horizontal version of a vertical painting I did of the same scene (see post on 21 Jun 12).

It still needs a little more work before it is completed. I will post it at a later date.
