Winter Moon
I pulled out this painting that I had started a number of years ago (see posts on 21 May 2010 and 31 May 2014) and wanted to complete it today.
I started on the fence by using burnt sienna to run the lines of barbed wire and then added the barbs onto the wire.
Next I painted in the grasses and growies at the base of the fence posts using various mixtures of aw sienna, burnt sienna, new gamboge and cadmium yellow.
Lastly, I put in some grasses on the left side.
This original watercolour painting when framed will be available for $125.00.
Thank you for taking the time to visit my blog and enjoy the artwork. I hope you will return often.

Changes 1
Today I pulled out a frame that was complete with glass, backing and mats and decided to do a painting that would fit.
I thought an autumn evening would be ideal and I started by putting in the sky with a mixture of raw sienna and new gamboge.
Using raw sienna, I under painted the areas where I was going to put in the bright orange leaves and some of the grassy areas at the base of the background trees.
With various mixtures of French ultramarine blue, Antwerp blue, raw sienna and new gamboge, I painted in the pine trees into the background.
While the paint was still wet, I lifted the trunks of a couple of birch trees on the left side of the painting.
Using various mixtures of alizarin crimson, cadmium red, cadmium yellow, aureolin and new gamboge I put in the autumn coloured leaves throughout the painting and as a reflection into the water.
I dotted in a few small areas of coloured leaves using mixtures of cadmium red and cadmium yellow.
With the darkest green I put in a few dead tree trunks throughout the painting.
Using some of the dark green tree colour I brushed in the water around the orange reflections.
Lastly, I put in the rocks along the shore with various mixtures of French ultramarine blue and burnt sienna.
I do apologize about the photograph, but it was taken after I had framed it when I thought to take the picture.
This original, framed 5" x 7" watercolour painting is available for $95.00. SOLD

Trent River 1-3
With it being close to the end of September it won't be long before we will not be able to go out on the lake in the canoe until next year.
But we are fortunate that today is bright and sunny day with the temperature going up to 75F (23.9C) by this afternoon.
With an early start instead of going out on one of the nearby lakes Ron wanted to try a different place. We followed a variety of roads and finally along Highway 30 we arrived in Campbellford and crossed the bridge of the Trent River onto Front Street North where we found an area on the river with adequate parking and where we could launch the canoe.
Trent River Pine
We paddled up the river against the current to Campbellford Lock 13 of the Trent-Severn Waterway, before pulling into shore to have lunch.
After lunch we allowed the current to carry us back to our launch point with Ron fishing and I sketched and took photographs.
The Trent River is 56 miles (90km) long and flows down from Rice Lake to empty into the Bay of Quinte on Lake Ontario.

The River is host to a wide variety of fish species including: small and large mouth bass, rock bass, bluegill, sunfish, crappie, perch, pike, walleye and freshwater drums.
Trent River Duck Blind
Ron caught a nice sized perch and I was pleased that once we returned to our launch site I was able to capture the setting sun being reflected in the water on a number of photographs.
Trent River I
We stopped to have supper at Riverview Family Restaurant in Campbellford, where we were served an excellent roast beef meal with all the trimmings.

Last Day of Reaping and Harvesting
It is another lovely day with the temperature at 72F (22C), great weather for working outside.
But, today I am sitting the last day of the Reaping and Harvesting Show at Art on Kent in Lindsay, Ontario.
Being a part of a couple of co-operative Gallery each person must do their part in the running of the Gallery or eventually it will close. It is the same way at KAGS.
I would be more involved with this Gallery but unfortunately it is over an hour away and I just don't have the time to be there more often.
I have brought in my new pieces for the upcoming show Water, Water Everywhere. The new show runs from 02-25 October 2014, with the opening reception 0n 04 October from 1:00-4:00p.m. If you have the chance perhaps you will come out to view the exhibition.

Three Seashells
Today I thought I would do some sketches of some of the various sea shells I have in my collection.
For the first one I thought I would do a single Queen Conch shell on its own and I set it in an upright position rather than have it on its side.
For the second sketch I added a Murex shell and some seaweed to create an interesting display.
Next I added Sand Dollars and Clams with the Queen Conch shell.

New Friend
It looks as though the weatherman was wrong when he said we wouldn't see the temperature climb to 70F (21.1C) until the spring. I am certainly glad he is wrong as today was a beautiful sunny day with the temperature being 72F (22.2C).
I would like to thank new collector Mrs. Barbara Miller of Toronto, Ontario for her commission to do this pen and ink drawing of her son and one of their horses.
It brings back fond memories of whenever I had the chance to make a new equine friend. It didn't matter if it was the milkman, iceman or policeman's horse.
Each meeting, no matter how fleeting was a joy to remember for a lifetime.
