Suddenly at Sunset

Sold!
Canvas size - 16 " x 20 "
I created this powerful statement in honor of my respect for Tornados and any other deadly force Mother Nature bestows upon us.

Exodus at Dawn

Canvas size - 14" x 18"
This painting is pure romance. The dawn exodus from a sandy strip of beach, off the coast of Zanzibar, is where these tiny fishing feluccas, with thier stabalising outriggers, set off from... only to return at last light.

Moonlit Sail

Canvas size - 14" x 18"
This is one of my favorite Tall Ship paintings. Careful consideration with color value and subject give this painting an eerily calm, magical feeling. The Captain has given the order to sail by moonlight while he, alone in his cabin, partakes of a glass of sherry while listening to the shenanigans of the men below.

Earthly Angles

Canvas size - 11" x 14"
This painting was created soley with a palette knife. The idea came from photographs our daughter took while on a trip to Peru last year, with Wilfrid Laurier University. She explained that the location where people lived on the mountain determined their status. The higher up they lived, the poorer they were and had that much farther to walk to get to the village at the bottom. This painting was also accepted into the NTAAC juried Art Competition at the New Gibson Centre in Alliston this past summer.

Maple Sugar Shack

Canvas size - 14" x 18"
This was painted from a photograph of an authentic maple sugar shack in upstate New York.

Peace in Coloured Splendor

Canvas size - 16" x 20"
This painting was created using my love of frigates (warships) and colourful skies. To quote my Bio: "I love to paint, it is as simple as that. When I am at the easel I am lost in the magic of creation. Conception of an idea breeds excitement in my soul, producing a multitude of emotions which leave my heart, traveling through the brush to splash onto a waiting canvas."

Arriving Home

SOLD!
Canvas size - 12" x 16"
The villagers will soon be racing down the steps to the water's edge in anticipation of the skiff being lowered to bring their men ashore.
