View From Old Baldy

36" x 48"

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD



Here is another painting of mine for the upcoming Loft Gallery show. There is a great viewpoint of the Beaver Valley from a, outcropping of the escarpment called "Old Baldy." It is a view I would never tire from looking at, out over the town of Kimberley and Talisman Resort.

This is the first of five paintings that I have in the Loft Gallery's Bruce Trail/Escarpment Show, opening July 18th. The painting is of Metcalfe Rock, part of the Niagara Escarpment. It is a great local trail hiking area, with some wicked rock climbing and caving.

I had painted this one for the upcoming Bruce Trail and Escarpment show at the Loft Gallery. However, it won't be leaving our house as my husband has claimed this one. Poor guy, all his favourite paintings seem to head out the door... So this one stays (for now!).

The Best House of All

I painted this one the other week during a plein air painting course I was taking. We were located at an amazing local property called Carpe Diem. The owner specializes in perennial gardens, and her flowers were unbelieveable. I was also enamoured by her cute little bird houses, and the rhythm of the trees bordering her property.

Here is another one of these cute little old houses in our town. I was intrigued by the shadows cast on the side of the house and the lawn.

Back again. Had some camera issues, but all is resolved now. I have lots to post. Here it comes!

Apple Farm

I live in apple country. This painting is based on a farm that is located just down the road from our house (one of the many). When the apple blossoms are out in the spring, it is just heaven!

Sorry for the lack of posts recently. I promise that I have been painting a lot, just not posting! I will get caught up in the coming week.

Spring Storm

This is my final painting completed for the Art Tour this weekend. As I said before, my work will be shown at Interior Motives in Thornbury and the Loft Gallery in Clarksburg.
Now I have to get back to painting as we have a quite few empty walls to fill in our house!

Morning Sun

I had a lovely walk with the dog in the sunshine the other morning. I collected a number of photos of local buildings like this one. It is always great to have new fodder for the canvas. I will be painting more of them in the coming weeks.

This painting is of my neighbour Cynthia's house. She has the most unbelievable garden out back. I am hoping her amazing gardening skills rub off on me this summer!

And So It Goes

SOLD

I am nearing the end of my crunch to get ready for the local Artist's Studio tour next weekend. Here is another birches painting. Now I have to get back to work!

But first check out another cool artist's website, Sharon Barr . When ever I look at her work, it makes me want to pump up the pastel colours in my paintings - totally whimsical and fun (and a little girly too.)

Roadside Attraction

SOLD

I drive past this big old barn every time I go to
my husband's family cottage on Georgian Bay (Lake Huron). This was painted from a photo that I took last summer. This spring I discovered that part of the barn collapsed over the winter. I guess I will have to paint an updated version!

Around the Bend

The title of this one is sort of how I am feeling today. I am working on another painting - struggling is a better word. Sometimes the creativity flows, and other times it has to be dragged out of you.

It is driving me around the bend!!
