I have an affinity for this little tractor down the road. I learned to drive on one very like it. It has a presence.

Small Works...

Introducing my new small works...for my market stall.  The launch is November 19.  Don't know how many I will have ready, but the paint is flying.  At 5 x 3 they are quite small, but fun to do.  The spring calf I may do some more work, but it needs to dry a bit.  I am so used to watercolour, the timing on oils requires a different planning!

Gardens at the NSAC July watercolour


July painting day at the NSAC.  Amazing gardens on one of our rare hot sunny days this summer.  The Truro Art Society was invited to come paint on the College's Open House day.  It was an enjoyable time and wonderful to discover this delightful spot in Truro.

Lost Camera...Found!

New posts coming.

Oyster Boat

Oyster Boat in Merigomish, NS
7" x 5" watercolour

Last Fall we went to an oyster tasting. It was a bright, windy fall day. The seafood was amazing. This boat had been pulled up on the edge in the fall tinted grasses. I could not resist and squirreled away the photo until I had time to paint it. I hope to do a larger piece now, just deciding watercolour or oil?

Spring Hope from theGreenhouse

Spring Hope
Oil 12" x 18"
The larger oil painting as a follow up to the smaller one. I had it for while, and needed to tweek it, took awhile for me to see I needed to darken some areas and highlight just a little more on the begonias. Then I decided time to move on to the next!
