The Ones That Got Away

This is a painting I started a while ago (see postings on 08 July 2010, 31 October 2011 and 16 July 2012)and every so often I have been adding things to get it completed.














I added some shadows to the lures to give more of an illusion of roundness.

This original 10-1/2" x 11-1/4" watercolour painting when framed will be available for $345.00.

Out Buildings

This is a small sketch of some of the out buildings on the first horse farm we used to live at many years ago.












This original 3" x 5" framed pen and ink drawing is available for $125.00.

Winter Twilight - Reworked

I have had this small painting for a while (see post 19 September 2010) and decided that it need a few more details added.

I darkened the foreground trees and give them more definition, then put some additional growies beneath their lower limbs to give the painting a little more colour.

This is another painting I will set aside to go to Algonquin for next month; it will be available for $85.00.

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 September.

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

Buggy

This framed 4" x 6" original pen and ink sketch is available for $135.00.

This is a sketch of a buggy found on Selwyn Road close to Highway 507 (now known as the Buckhorn Road).

It is used as a lawn ornament and is decorated for the spring, summer and autumn season, but when winter approaches it is put into storage and well maintained.

It is in kept in excellent condition and could easily be pulled by a horse on the roadways.

Thank you for coming to look at my artwork and I hope you will return often.

OSWOA - Magnetawan River 1

Today is the opening day of the Kawartha Arts Festival which is held at the Fenelon Falls Fairgrounds, in Fenelon Falls, Ontario. It is also the first day of September and the start of another 30 day challenge.















I spent most of the day working on a variety of paintings and speaking with many people about painting in watercolour. This is the painting I completed while at the show today.

The biggest surprise is that I was recorded by the CTV News camera while I was talking with a couple who were interested in my artwork.













If you would like more information about OSWOA please go to my post on 12 March 2010.

The OSWOA shown here is an original watercolour painting using Artist quality Windsor & Newton paint on 140lb. Arches 100% rag, acid free watercolour paper. It is priced at $40.00 and sold unframed.

I will continue to post the painting I finish each day during the course of the month. I hope you will return often to see the postings. Needs something here
