Geneva Park Forest

I painted these two 8x10 acrylics at Geneva Park this past September when the COAA had their annual conference.  It was a beautifull plen air experience and Geneva Park is a wonderfull scenic locale.  Thank you to Allison Robichaud for his direction and advise, I will always be a better painter.  If you want to view these paintings, they will be on display at the Ingersoll Library beginning October 6, 2011

Looking Back

I painted "Looking Back" using the pouring technique.  It was a great learning experience and I thoroughly enjoyed this technique.

Recently I had the opportunity to take a three day workshop from the most talented Kathie Wright, at The Southhampton Art School. Together we created several outstanding pieces for which I will be adding the finishing touches this afternoon.  I will post the end products soon.  Thank you Kathie!!

TRIO OF TRILLIUMS

 

This spring I painted this Trio of Trillium's, feeling patriotic to Canada and specifically my province of Ontario. I've always loved the blanket of trilliums waving in the fields in the early spring.  I've had the three watercolors professionally, archival, framed in black and they look wonderful.  My colleagues have encouraged me and agree that I ended with great  results. 

THE POWER OF WOMEN

This 24" x 24" acrylic/mixed media was painted to commemorate 100 years of Internationnal Womans Day.  It is on display among 100 others at Ayr Space Gallery, for more information see http://www.ayrspace.ca/

MY FRIEND

This portrait "My Friend" is one of my first, the meduim is watercolor, 8 by 10. I tried to capture her character and personality as oppossed to photorealism.  My motto to photorealism is, "I might as well frame the photo if I want it to look like the photo"

winter landscape

This 8" by 10" winter landscape was my first watercolor, completed in November 2009 during an art workshop at the Ingersoll Arts Center.  It is now framed and available for viewing and/or purchase at the "Florence Estate Winery".  I have many other works of art displayed at

beauty in dis-skies

Here is the finished product, on display at, "The Florence Estate Winery". I can almost feel the frigid air as I watch those boats rocking back and forth, or, is the air warm? You decide!

beauty in dis-skies

Linda Trowell guided us during this workshop of skies and clouds.  We ended up with alot of emotional skies as a result.  What a great day of experimenting and creating, thanks again Linda!!!

THE VILLAGE CASTLE

The day we spent at the village castle was my favorite.  We wandered all day, up and down the cobble stone narrow streets, and painted whatever our hearts desired.  As I painted the castle, several local Italians gathered around me with amazement. I didn't understand what they were saying but knew they were pleased.  Italians are very friendly people.
