Old Farmstead.jpg

Dilapidated Barn.jpg
20" x 18"
Acrylic on Canvas
I had stumbled upon this old barn in the remote countryside. The roof has long since collapsed and the structure was filled with old wooden crates that probably held produce at one time. The cool aqua coloured sky compliments the warmer interior quite nicely, I think.

A WW2 trainer in the air museum in Hamilton, Ontario. The bright colours of the plane and the glossy surfaces were a challenge!

Lovesick Lake.jpg
Lovesick Lake is located north of Lakefield, Ontario. It was a location that I took my lads to each summer.
This particular scene depicts a secluded backwater we came upon in search of good fishing.

Lobster Traps.jpg
24" x 18"
Acrylic on Canvas
This was a tricky subject to paint with all the small elements and lines. The sunny day needs a brighter colour scheme to create the impression of this particular day.

Springtime.jpg

Changes.jpg
36" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas
This autumn scene is from Coote's Paradise in Hamilton, Ontario where I was born a lived for quite a number of years. The foreground contains a flooded area with a number of dead trees that we look through to discover a wooded area in full bloom. In the background we see the Niagara Escarpment which is a dominant part of the city. The diagonal cloud pattern takes the viewer to the trees and the colour of the water sits along side a direct
complimentary colour, creating a real colour experience.
Coote's Paradise was a childhood hangout where we fished, skated, hiked and (eeek!) swam. It sits behind Mcmaster University.

Quiet River.jpg
30" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas
My first trip to the west coast was in the early 1990's when I flew out on a fishing trip with my college buddy, Ron, who was from Calgary. He knew all the fishing holes around Vancouver and this was one that caught my attention. Not sure the name of the river but I believe it was below a reservoir in North Vancouver.
The colour of the water was pretty much as depicted here. The trees and vines in the foreground give the composition a somewhat Art Deco feel.
No, I didn't catch a thing!
