Daydreaming.jpg
Gouache on Paper
SOLD
This painting is actually based on a photo that I'd uncovered in my grandparent's photo album. It appears to be my maternal grandmother taken about 1918 in Kingston, Ontario.
Working from a sepia toned reference, it was fun to re-create what may have been the original colours. For the most part, it features warm against cool colours and complimenting the blue blouse with warm skin and hair tones.
Call 250 594-0111 for pricing and availability.

Boathouse.jpg
Gouache on Paper
Unframed
Another painting from Gloucester Pool. This is the boathouse shown behing "Stella" in an earlier volume.
Over the years the structure has shown it's age with moss on the roof and the wood showing signs of decay. The blue motor boat under it adds a nice colour highlight to the painting. Note how the foreground dock leads the viewer's eye into the background.
Unframed, $300 CDN plus postage.

Located just outside of hamilton, Ontario, is a conservation area know as "Mountsberg". It's a large tract of land that features some great hiking and fishing in the warmer months and exciting cross-country skiing in the winter months- when there's enough snow, of course.
One one such visit years ago, I came across a number of poles poking out of the ground with small birdhouses attached to the tops.
You'll notice the colour scheme has been chosen to represent a cold winter afternoon.

ApproachingStormNovaScotia.jpg
13" x 10", Gouache on Paper
This painting was a forerunner of an earlier acrylic painting featured in a gallery on this site.
It is a shore view behind a cottage we had rented in Nova Scotia a few years back and shows the rock and evergreens that define the area. The threatening sky in this version is alot more threatening than the acrylic version.

This scene is from a trip to Scotland many years ago. We stayed at a small cottage in the wee town of Arisaig (hope I spelt that right!) on the west coast of Scotland.
