Oil on Canvas 

48x48 in.

 The photo doesn’t really do justice to this piece, it is very textural and nuanced. I’ve tried to express the serenity of the dawning of a new day on a Canadian boreal landscape.

Painting in a Kayak

Morning on Manitou  6x8 Oil on Board

 

I've been fortunate to be able to get out onto the water in my kayak and paint what I'm seeing of late. I have a small 6x8 pochade box that I take along because of its portability and size; not much room in the cockpit of my skin boat.  I'm loving it and look forward to doing more.

Natures Palette

Natures Palette 60 x 48 Oil on Canvas

A new Oil on the easel which is inspired by my walk in nature, always a dependable source of inspiration.

Afternoon Shadows

Afternoon Shadows Oil 20 x 20 in.

Its been awhile since I last posted, no real good excuse. The shadows are getting longer, a sure sign that the days are getting longer and spring is approaching. I encounter this scene regularly on my walks in the countryside around my home and was quite taken with what I saw here the other day and was inspired to paint it. Hope you enjoy it!

Autumn Painting

Big Eddy  30 x 40 in Oil

I dug this painting out of storage and gave it a dusting, its been awhile since I've enjoyed its presence.  It is a 30 x 40 in. Oil on Canvas painting a few years ago.

Otter Lake

Otter Lake, Mb.  Oil on Canvas 30 x 30 in

An Oil painting of a place dear to my heart.  I have driven past this location for as long as I can remember since I was a child and I have also trekked here at different times of the year.  It is precambrian shield country between The Pas and Flin Flon Mb.  Lots of cool lakes with rock outcroppings in the most unlikely places, a real gem.

Northern Lake Oil 60 x 34

Fresh off the easel, this is a large Oil on Canvas of a Northern Manitoba scene, close by where I grew up.  Had a great time with this one.
