Variety

6 x 8 inches - oil on gessoboard - Here is a little variety store that was across the street from our B&B in Stratford. I was attracted to the contrasts and colours that happen in the dark.

Waiting For The Bus

8 x 10 inches - oil on linen panel - I took a while  working this one out by moving things around with my computer. I like the idea that while the people have a common purpose, they are in their own worlds.

Brecon Grill

8 x 8 inches - oil on linen board - While visiting my brother and his wife, we often eat at this little restaurant that is walking distance from their house. It always looks inviting when the sun is going down.

Sitting on the Bank Steps

10 x 8 inches - oil on gessoboard - I have passed this bank on the corner for many years and always wanted to paint a scene with it.  I like the way the sun casts shadows on the door.

House Across the Road

8 x 10 inches - Oil on Gessoboard - Every morning it struck me the way the light hit the house across from our B and B when we were staying in Stratford. When I got home, I had to paint it.

Legacy B and B

6 x 6 inches - oil on gessoboard - We recently made one of our annual pilgrimages to Stratford to spend some time with friends and family and to see some great theatre, and of course to indulge in good food and conversation. This is the b and b we stayed at.

Pineapple House at Night

8 x 8 inches - oil on cradled wood - This is a little shop on the corner in Saline Michigan in the early evening.

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.

Blue Umbrella

6 x 6 inches, oil on gessoboard - This is a rainy day in downtown Toronto. Nice to visit but I do not miss it since we moved to a smaller city. We can get there in an hour and a half by train to go to a play or shop but it is a little too busy for me.
