Birches in the Snow

16"x16"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

Well I am starting to paint a lot of snow, but sadly there is none on the ground here yet.  We had a tease last week, but the rain wiped it out.  With a household that is centred around skiing (including my husband's job), we are starting to get a little antsy.  Bring on the snow!!  In the mean time, I will get my fix on the canvas...

Winter's Bend

36"x48"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

I just brought a number of new paintings, including this one to Moyaboya in Creemore.  Senka's store is looking fabulous and very holiday inspired.  If you are in the Creemore, Ontario area, drop by!

The snow is beginning to fall here, and I am excited in anticipation of winter.  Bring on the white stuff...

Poetic Birches

12"x12"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

This is one of the square footers that I chose to keep (well actually my son Max requested it).  I took a series of photos at the top of Blue Mountain this fall, which had some great birch trees, set among the dark forest, and along with the last of the season's coloured leaves.  I imagine these photos will be fodder for quite a few paintings.

Tangled Maples Study

12"x12"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

As the biannual Square Foot Show approaches at the Loft Gallery (opens November 18th), I endeavour to paint a large number of these 12"x12" paintings.  My favourite part (beside the freeing feeling that I can really "play" with this size canvas - versus painting a much larger one where I definitely tighten up), is lining up all finished pieces.  It is like looking a a number of little "gems".  Very satisfying!  This was my first one painted for the show, but I just may have to keep it for myself...

Old Blady In Bloom

16"x16"
Acrylic on Canvas
SOLD

Fall is here and the colours are amazing.  I had a great Art Tour weekend over Thanksgiving, and even got out plein air painting in the Beaver Valley on Friday with a friend.  This is the painting I completed that day from the top of Beaver Valley Ski Club, looking out towards Old Baldy (part of the Niagara Escarpment).
