Ted D. Bear

Every so often I will set up one of my daughter's old stuffed animals and do a small painting of it.

In this case I did one of her many teddy bears. I wanted to keep it fairly simple without a lot of clutter.

This framed 4-1/4" x 4-1/4" original watercolour is available for $95.00.

Fallen Birches

This is a painting I had started a while ago from sketches and photographs that I had taken the last time I visited my aunt's cottage on Lac-Sergent, Quebec.

It is fairly close to Lac-Blanc where I spent many hours as a child catching tadpoles and minnows; exploring the area with its many abandoned charcoal huts on the edge of the lake.

The trees around this small, shallow lake had grown a lot since I was there as a child, but the peace and quiet only disturbed by the sound of the bull frogs still remained.

This original 10-1/2" x 15" framed watercolour is available for 235.00.

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

Movement

Today I just wanted to play with colour and what better way than with a limited palette on an abstract?

For this painting I used white, black, alizarin crimson and burnt sienna and applied the paint with a palette knife.














It created some interesting effects and has some movement going through the painting.

This original 8" x 10" acrylic painting will be available when framed for $135.00.

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

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.
