"Moonlight Silk" now happily resides in a private collection, thanks to White Rock Gallery. Many of you have heard me prattle on (thanks for listening) about the importance of contrasts in painting - light & dark, warm & cool, order & chaos etc.. and I think it also applies to life in general. 1/2

This is a very small act, but I have changed my website URL that I have used for over 20 years to Annesley.ca to ensure that viewers know I am a Canadian artist. (My old address was AnnesleyStudio.com) and changed my domain host to a Canadian company. 🇨🇦

A small detail of a larger painting for my upcoming exhibition at #CanadaHouseGallery in Banff, Canada. Though the famed Abbott Pass Hut (1922, 9596 ft.) is no longer perched on the Great Divide, the memories can't be erased - from scramble to shelter to spectacular view to incoming storm. #artwork

My studio is starting to fill up as my spring exhibition takes shape. Looking forward to sharing my new work on April 19 at Canada House Gallery, Banff #canadianart

Watercolour in progress: the tangled web of one of nature’s brilliant architects, catching droplets of sunshine. Slated for my upcoming exhibition at Canada House Gallery, Banff Apr. 19

The 25 Canadian paintings joining the Royal Collection Trust of King Charles III at Windsor Castle completing "The Canadian Gift" are now in an online exhibition by the CSPWC at cspwc-royal-trust-collection-2025.artcall.org/pages/web-ga...

Exhibition announcement coming soon! I've been feverishly building a new body of work for a spring exhibition, including this large watercolour of Mt. Assiniboine. Taking a breather & signing off for some winter adventure time (good time to be off grid methinks!) Hang in there next week everyone.

Re-posting this from over on IG, though it isn't Canada Day... just professing my deep love for my country.

1/3 Re-upping this announcement as it was the biggest career event for me in 2024 and I'll be celebrating well into 2025! My watercolour “Timepiece” has been accepted into the Royal Collection Trust of King Charles III at Windsor Castle. Happy New Year's All 🥂 annesleystudio.com/blog/2024/11...

#artadventcalendar Day 24 "Tasting the Stars" Watercolour, 7 x 10.5" (Sold, Private Collection) When tasting champagne for the 1st time, Dom Perignon apparently said "come quick, I'm tasting the stars! May your holiday sparkle with star light and your celebrations be graced with love!

#artadventcalendar Day 23 "Paradise Sentinels" Charcoal on Paper, (Sold, Private Collection) In a remote valley in #Banffnationalpark winter sun squeezes between tree and mountain to warm the valley for a few last minutes before sundown, Paradise creek slices through deep snow, sculpted by shadows.

#Artadventcalendar Day 22 "London" Watercolour 23 x 38 (2014, Sold, Private Collection) A late night walk in London conjures references from Dickens to werewolves. Rain-slicked cobblestones in Soho reflect store fronts and warm light emanating from pubs, a bicycle casts its self portrait in shadow.

#artadventcalendar Day 21 “Sun Shine” watercolour, 15 x 15” (2024, sold, Private Collection) Another winter landscape to bracket the #solstice. Shadows of larch and pine stretch across sparkling snow, sun warms the face and heart even in extreme cold - apricity might be my newly-learned fave word!
