Currently On The Easel (COTE)
This section displays some of the work currently on my easel. I tend to have several pieces in progress. I use a layering technique to create depth and as I wait for the material to properly dry, I switch to a different piece. These in progress pieces will become available as they are completed.
Colours of autumn
This will become a three panel piece depicting the many colourful leaves that appear every year in Northern Ontario.
The panels are 12"x12" so the final piece (all framed in one) will be 12"x36" oil on canvas
Winter warmth
This piece depicts the setting sun across the narrow lake channel.
24"x30" Oil on canvas
Everywhere and nowhere
This will become a three panel piece inspired by the colours of the Canadian maritimes and is part of my personal collection.
The panels are 24"x48" so the final piece will be 24"x144" Acrylic on canvas
Days end
This piece depicts the end of a great day on the water. The setting sun provides just enough light to navigate back to the dock.
30"x40" Acrylic on canvas
Sugar bush
This piece depicts a fall scene in a maple grove (sugar bush). The vibrant colours revealed by the lack of sunlight remind us that winter is fast approaching, but that spring will bring a renewed harvest of sweet maple syrup.
