Sunset on Little Lake


6 x 8 oil on canvas board. You can take a boat cruise on Little Lake in Peterborough.  The boat docks while you watch the evening concert on shore.  Before the concert starts you get great views of the lake.

Stratford Swan


6 x 6 oil on gessobord. Every year we go to the Festival in Stratford, Ontario. The swans on the river there are icons of the the town.

House by the Sea


6 x 6 oil on gessobord. I worked on this one over and over with many redos but I think it now evokes the sense of the coast that I was looking for.

Cockatoo


6 x 6 oil on gessobord - After a long while of doing other things, here is a new one. I have been able to work on some larger paintings and have made some adjustments to my studio. I worked a bit on setting up my camera to get a good reproduction. This photo is not perfect but its similar to the original.

Waterlily



Oil on Gessoboard. 6 x 6. As it often happens, I was about ready to throw this one out the window part way through but I kept on going and I am now happy with the way it turned out.
