Swing

 

8 x 6 inches - oil on hardboard - The best swings are the home made ones.

White Tulips

 

8 x 6 inches - oil on hardboard - Even though winter is just starting these will be back before you know it.

Yellow House

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - In this spring scene, yellow is the focus. It's always hard to decide what details to leave out and what to add.

Hawaian Shore

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - There are places along the shore where the fingers of old lava flows have left small channels. It is fascinating to watch the waves roll in filling them up and then recede again to the sea.

Hanakapi'ai

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is the same subject with a different approach. If you don't experiment a bit you will never find out if something else will work better for you. For some reason, I had a devil of a time with reflections when I tried to photograph this one.

Hanakapi'ai Falls

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - This is one of the falls on the damper side of the big island of Hawaii. The walk down to see it is as interesting as the falls itself.

Boulders

8 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - Along the south shore of Nova Scotia, there are places where huge boulders seem to have dropped from the sky. There is probably some geological explanation but I don't know it, maybe an old glacier did it.

Downtown Hanging Basket

8 x 6 inches, oil on hardboard - A few years ago, this is what the baskets looked like in downtown Peterborough. Some years they are better than others.  While it takes expense and effort to water, it looks much better than plastic flowers.

Calie

8 x 6 inches, Oil on Canvas Board - This is our Grandson's dog Calie. She looks scary but she is not.  Our little cat Zipper makes her cry like a girl.
