#24 Leuty Lifeguard Station -Beach Toronto.

Little sketch of the beach lifestation as spring begins to beckon.Many paintings to be found down at the beach area of Toronto.

#23 Rivers Edge-Algonquin Park-

Here is what the mantle is starting to look like.It is getting busy aroung here.

Recent last snow fall was two weeks ago and in some areas it snowed 23 centimetres.It Gave me an opportunity to paint my favourite march subject -Snow shadows.

#22 Radiance-Canoe Lake

Pretty tired today after teaching a workshop in Richmond hill on Painting Like the Group of seven.Thought I would come home and put what I was teaching into practice.Hope you enjoy this colourful one!

#21 Evening at Canoe Lake -Algonquin Park-Plein Aire Canada painting

Light effects have been a particular interest and this is reflected here.Constable was known for his sky studies and I am looking forward to my own in depth study of these phenomenons.

#20 Evening Glow-Canoe Lake -Algonquin Park-Ontario Canada

The radiant Glow and the endless change that unfolds every ten minutes is a challenge to capture.Just wanted to leave you with a colourful one tonight.

#19- Winter's Blanket-Stouffville Ontario Canada

This image was done for those who feel that I do too many bright paintings and you know who you are.This project is to explore many facets of the landscape as well as anything that captures my fancy.It also allows me to keep my painting skills sharp while I am busy teaching and not producing.
Winters Blanket is the images that i see daily on the way to work.

While driving to work you see a hundred paintings ,you are doing the wrong work!

#18 Presquile Lighthouse-

This image is a little bigger and a little more involved.The reference was taken from the water to create a more dynamic image.Presquile is a beautiful park here in Southern Ontario and i have grown to love it's various moods. A number of North American forests converge here in the park. It is an incredible spot to see migratory birds and various types of wildlife.This Park is A Jewel in Ontario!

#17 Pine Sunset-Algonquin Park

# 16-Spring Field

Just because it snowed two days ago doesn't mean I can't get ready for some of my spring and summer subjects.This is a scene from the Stouffville area that i pass quite frequently as I hunt for painting subjects.

Leonardo was quoted as saying that you are a real artist if you can take two steps out your front door and find a painting subject.For me it is a little further afield!

#15 Fire Sunset-Canoe Lake Algonquin Park

This was a study done to create light depth and space.The underglow on clouds is the reflected light of the waning sun.

How many sunsets I have seen and pondered over the painting of them.I have been enjoying painting these and pushing as far as I can go to capture my rememberances.

#14 Snow Beach Toronto -

The computer has been down and and then the internet was giving me trouble so I will now publish the rest of the images.Didn't like how this one turned out so i tidied it up.Artists perogative!

#13 Toronto Beach Backyards

# 12 Snow Hillside.Plein Aire Canada paintings

I love the patterns found in the forest at any time of year but for me winter holds the most interest.I hear winter could be sneaking back upon us and I hope to take advantage with the opportunity in paint.

#11 Tom Thomson Lake -Algonquin Park

I sometimes find the small format of 6 x 8 inches small to create within.This was a challenging piece and took a little longer than expected.An artist has never painted everything in the world so his/her journey is an ever evolving learning process.

This painting is a little more vibrant than is seen here.

Plein Aire Canada Paintings- #10 Horses at Riverdale Farm

Sunday afternoon sketch hunting.Riverdale farm is an oasis of colours ,forms and life in Toronto.Many subject matter can be found there and is an old farm steeped in history.

I like to create using a very limited palette and mix all my own colours.I use three colours plus white to create all my paintings.This is a challenge but an exciting one!

Last of the Winter Snow - #9 Algonquin Park
