Oil on Canvas

First day back to the Studio since the closure in March. This work is still in progress.

A little study of my Peonies from my own garden ,where I have spent many hours in the last two months. I have never really painted flowers, but it would seem this year, it is the one subject matter that inspires me to bring to canvas. Peace and quiet beauty, away from a frantic world.

For My Mother, Peonies

This will have to be delivered to her. She lives in a Retirement Home, and like all others in Ontario, is in complete lock down for visitors. I hope to connect with a phone call, while outside her window downstairs, to tell her that it was painted for her in watercolour. The purple/fuschia peonies are her favourite. I hope when the real peonies in my garden bloom, I will be able to deliver in person

Spray of Spring

A little watercolour card for a Lovely Lady's birthday. We could not send flowers due to covid-19, so painted her some.

Spray of Spring

From a field on Main Street, just three minutes from the Alton Mill in a snow storm about three weeks ago. Am I done? Hmmmmm...

Back to the Easel!!!

Colour returns in this first piece after Grey Matters..

This tree trunk was lit up like it was embers in a fire. The sunset hitting the last bit of the horizon, cast up the final light, bathing the entire woods in a glow similar to a forest fire.

Grey Matter XI

Both Major and smaller details have disappeared and the fog is closing in. The beautiful light remains, and there is a regal peace.

48 x 36 Oil on Canvas

Grey Matter IX

The Partner to Grey Matter VIII. Now we are in the woods completely.

Grey Matter VII- Dementia Series

Loosing even more details, while the beautiful light remains.

This piece will fit counter clockwise to number VI when the exhibit is hung. I have chose to hang the pieces this way, to further emphasize way the disease moves time "backwards". It removes their recent life, and takes them back to an earlier time.

Grey Matter VI- Dementia Series

Working my way up and down that same road. The main subjects now are starting to breakdown, while the back ground is fighting over focus and clarity.

Into the Woods (working title)

A section of woods from the same road. Working backwards in the loss of detail, as the beautiful light is maintained.

The dementia series is starting to take shape now. I have ideas for all 12 canvases. Not that this will not evolve as I paint.. but, I always need a starting point to create size and shape of canvases, along with how to progress the idea.

An Intricate Fog (current working title)

Accepted BAB Juried Exhibition March 2019

From my special spot on Mountainview Road in Caledon that has inspired so many artworks. The vegetation is slowly being consumed by the dense fog caused by a sudden warm up over the snow. The cast shadow is a lovely moment in the mystery.
