So Many Pieces

36" x 24"
Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

I just finished reading Inside the Painters Studio by Joe Fig. Wow! What an unbelievable peek inside the studios of some of the most interesting contemporary artists working today (missing a few Canadian artists however...). If you like to learn about other artists' working methods, tools and paints used, studio set up, and a look into the day to day life of other artists, then this is the book for you. I devoured it and will be reading it all over again soon.

Where the Path Takes You

12" x 12"

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

I am working on a bunch of 12" babies for the upcoming By The Square Foot Show at the Loft Gallery. I can't believe how freeing this feels after painting a number of large works. Fun!

Been Around for a Long Time

24" x 24"

Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

I painted this a couple of weeks back, while at the studio tour in front of a "live" audience. Since I'm not entirely comfortable painting in front of others (I'm getting there though), I decided to stick with "comfort material". So I painted my favourite barn.

Christie Beach

16" x 16"

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

This was painted on location. It was a beautiful Fall day out at Christie Beach on Georgian Bay. My girlfriend Deirdre and I had a great day of painting outside, followed by a late lunch at the Thornbury Bakery. Heaven!

The Black Bridge

24" x 24"

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

This is one of the many bridges in our area that crosses the Beaver River. I have been wanting to paint the Black Bridge for a while now, as I pass over it most days.

Salmon and trout come up this river to their spawning grounds in the fall. Right now you can see many large fish (some salmon over two feet long!) fighting the currents to swim to the upper parts of the river. It is an amazing sight to behold.

They All Fall Down

60" x 36"

Acrylic Canvas

SOLD

I had a chance to record a promotional TV spot for Rogers Cable today about the upcoming art tour. Nerve wracking, but fun all at the same time! If you are in the Thornbury-Clarksburg area this weekend, I will be painting on site at Interior Motives. My work will be shown at both Interior Motives as well as the Loft Gallery. It should be fun!

Autumn Whispers

Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

The Autumn Colours Art Show at the Loft Gallery in Clarksburg begins this Saturday. I just dropped off a number of paintings for the show, including this one.

Among the Rocks

48"x 48"
Acrylic on Canvas

SOLD

This is one of my favourite pieces painted to date, and the largest! I have to admit, I am getting very used to painting big now. When I approach the smaller canvases, it starts to feel very constricting! Maybe I am over compensating (I am 5'1" tall, or should I say short...) - you would have laughed to see me painting on my step stool yesterday.
