Frozen 2 - A Work in Progress

It won't be long before there will be snow on the ground and the trees will be covered like the ones in this painting.

Today is Thanksgiving Day and for the first time this season there is frost on the ground.














It could be worse, a couple of days ago many parts of northern Ontario were hit with up to 6" (15 cm) of heavy packing snow. I am very glad I don't have to go out and try to shovel that off the driveway.

I will post this painting at a later date once I have it completed.

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

Fresh Snow 1 - A Work in Progress

Today is overcast and cool but with no rain in the forecast which is nice since we will be going out to celebrate Thanksgiving with Christine's in-laws later today.













I didn't have a lot of time to paint but I wanted to do a little bit more on something that had been started (see posts on 18 October 2011, 09 March and16 August 2012). I added a few more trees into the background and am still undecided as to what I want to put into the opening between the trees.

I will post this painting at a later date once I know what it needs as the focal point.

Mr. Bud - A Work in Progress

Today I don't have a lot of time to work on painting so I have transferred the image of the Mr. Bud onto the canvas.

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














Now we have to head into Toronto to spend time with the in-laws and take them out to see the autumn colours and later go out for supper.

Magnetawan River 3 - A Work in Progress

This is another sketch I did of the Magnetawan River while I stayed at the Knoepfli Inn with the Outdoor Painters' Group.














I will post this piece at a later date once I have either started the painting or finished it completely.

Stuffed Animals - A Work in Progress

The Still Life class at KAGS has started back again for the autumn season.

For the first one we decided on a playful collection of stuffed animals and dolls which were set on and around the chaise lounge at the Gallery.

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

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