“Turquoise Ribbon” 16”x 12” Powerful skies are always a draw, but sometimes it’s the light play on the water that wants to steal the show. 😉 #painting #art #oilpainting #canadianartist #landscapepainting #modernlandscape #openimpressionism @artfeed.bluesky.social

Guilded Knoll 12”x 12” Part of my private collection. Some of my babies just need to stay with me for a while before I’m ready for them to leave the nest. #privatecollection #art #painting #oilpainting #modernlandscape #openimpressionism #boldcolour #boldbrush #oillandscape #artshare #canadianart

“Towering Bluffs” 24”x 24” This one was a bit of a departure for me but I enjoyed the opportunity to play with the value and saturation of the atmospheric perspective and the complementary colours #art #painting #oilpainting #colour #contemporaryart #landscapepainting #modernlandscape #canadianart

At 36”x 48” this was a large painting for me. It gave me a run for my money but I felt like the persistence finally paid off. “Around the Bend” #art #painting #oilpainting #canadianart #boldbrush #contemporaryart #color #colour #modernlandscape #landscape #shoreline #lakepainting #lake @bsky.art

“Succession Planning” 36”x 24” From a few years ago. I loved this giant mama tree surrounded by her multitude of babies. Science now confirms they nurture each other 💚 #art #painting #oilpainting #trees #forest #canadianart #canadianartdaily #treelove #light #forestpainting #ontario @bsky.art

Water like glass, gentle breeze, no one around. Kayaking at its best. “Still Water’s Run Deep” 24”x 24” One of my personal fav’s 🩵 #kayak #art #painting #oilpainting #kayaklife #stillwater #canadianart #canadianartist #ontario #lake #openimpressionism #modernlandscape #sgraffito #canadianartdaily

I felt beautifully transported by the light in this scene while trying to capture it. How I love golden hour. “Oh She Glows” 12”x 24” #art #painting #oilpainting #landscape #modernlandscape #openimpressionism #glow #goldenhour #canadianart #canadianartist #drama #goldenlight #contemporaryart

Having fun with these little “Gouache in Portugal” studies 😁🎨 Gouache is so great for travel! #art #painting #gouache #landscapepainting #gouachestudy #canadianartist #canadianart #contemporaryart #gouachelandscape #painter #modernlandscape

Brought some gouache to play with in Portugal. So different from oil, but fun! #gouache #landscapepainting #art #painting #smallart #canadianart #canadianartist #contemporaryart #escape #serenity #calm

It’s that time of year folks! Ice giving way to life blooming under the surface. The smell of mud and worms! “Spring’s Whisper” 30” x 15” Oil #spring #springmelt #painting #oilpainting #art #landscapepainting #contemporaryart #modernlandscape #openimpressionism #canadianart #canadianartist #paint

Bringing the colours to life in this commission definitely brought me joy. Sometimes the alchemy just works 😁 “Dawn’s Elation” 24”x 20” Oil #art #painting #canadianart #canadianartist #bold #colour #oilpainting #openimpressionism #modernlandscape #contemporaryart #boldart

Anyone else craving fresh spring greens? We’ve had so much snow lately, and don’t get me wrong, it’s stunning in its own way, but man o man, I’m craving me some bright and beautiful spring greens about now! 🌿🌱 “Spring Shoreline” #painting #spring #art #canadianart #artist #canadianartist

“Walk with a Friend” 30”x 15” oil When the quest to keep fit aligns with your need for nature.

“Morning has Broken” 40”x 24” oil A scene from my ‘hood that is a favourite spot for watching the sunrise in all seasons. A bit of a departure for me with a more muted palette to reflect the way the snow softens everything, especially at dawn

#painting #art #canadianart #canadianartist

One of my favs. I think I’ll explore more in this palette 🎨 “Brilliant” 12”x 12” oil #Painting #artist #canadianart
