Path to the water


Last Wednesday it was very windy and this spot gave some protection but still had a view of the water. Had a struggle with the path that went down to the water to get it to go down! Will have to tackle many more on this theme.

Middletown Road Corn




This was a quick study and close up of the tangled corn and resident grasses done in an hour of speedy brushstrokes.

Barn on Middletown Road

I struggled with this one. There were two barns behind the hill and that just didn't do nuch for the composition. Sure enjoyed the lovely fall day and the scenery while I was painting. "Soli Deo Gloria"

Primavera Farm


It was wonderful to paint in the sunshine last week and enjoy the fall colours and the play of light on the distant fields and hills. the challenge being to convey this on the canvas. This day went well with the movement of the tangled corn creating inspiration.

Dundas Valley Farm



Had a wonderful afternoon painting on the "Primavera" Farm last Tuesday. This was from three weeks before looking towards the school. Fantastic scenery with a view of the Dundas Valley!

September Week

One of the last paintings done on the final beautiful day at Arrowhead. Had run out of several colours. Finished it by memory last week. I look at it and feel the melancholy experienced when the crowds have left and things are closing down for the winter. There are still footprints on the beach and the occasional
sand castle, but no children.

Golden Fields


We couldn't go out painting today because of the rain. This painting was done two weeks ago when we painted at the same location planned for today. Oh well. Too bad.
