Listing of Works

Below is a small list of works. A thumbnail is included that may be clicked to view a larger version of the picture.

Paradise
Watercolour
29" x 21"
20k This was a change. I wanted to use vivid watercolours in full stength. I was also trying to combine as many colours and shades as I possibly could in one painting and make it work.
The Farm House
Watercolour
36" x 28"
18k This painting developed from a single pencil sketch then into a watercolour in which I disregarded all sense of colour and light sources.
Grant Fuhr
Watercolour
28" x 22"
33k I always liked doing sport figures. When the Grant Fuhr trade came about and the league was celebrating its 75th year and they brought back the old sweaters back I thought it would be a perfect time.
The Homestead
Watercolour
32" x 26"
18k A group of farm buildings which still exist today at Eglington, off Winston Churchill Blvd. in the Mississauga area. I found the arrangement of farm buildings and trees interesting.
Sugar Bush
Watercolour
38" x 30"
27k Sugar Bush is a painting of actual maple sugar shacks and bush at Mountsberg Conservation Park (Milton Area). I found the rustic look of the shacks and trees also light and shadows perfect.
Fishing Boat
Watercolour
26" x 32"
28k This painting is here for a purpose to remind me how far I have come in watercolours.  This is the very first attempt at painting with watercolours.
Country Living
Watercolour
18" x 24"
33k The old country style of this home has been recreated in this new house in old Meadowvale Village by the Credit River.
The Barber House (Streetsville, ON)
Watercolour
28" x 34"
30k This building is a landmark in the town of Streetsville, Ontario.  Once a house, it now stands as a restaurant for fine dining.
Morning Mist (St. Jacobs, ON)
Watercolour
18" x 28"
24k This painting started from a photo I took when on a family outing to St. Jacobs, Ontario.  This is the bridge leading into town.  A flock of Canadian Geese is flying by as the morning mist was rising from the river; also, a Mennonite horse and carriage is crossing the bridge.
The Cabot Trail
Watercolour
26" x 32"
29k The person I was asked to paint this for was actually born in the little village seen in this painting.
Country Home
Watercolour
30" x 36"
20k This country home outside the "Hustle and Bustle" of the big city.  A perfect setting, but no snow at this time.  The lovely couple to which this home belongs and I had agreed it would look great as a winter scene.  Finally, our wish came true; the snow came, and so did the painting.
The Farm
Watercolour
26" x 32"
24k The farm you see in this painting no longer exists.  I was asked to paint it from a photograph for the person that actually lived there as a boy.
Seal Cove
Watercolour
30" x 36"
22k The love of colour and shapes of each of the buildings inspired me to paint this scene.  The fact that all this was happening on pylons on water was a perfect setting.
Winter Retreat
Watercolour
29" x 36"
22k I found this ideal setting with this country house on a wonderful winding road during the coldest winter day that gave me the scene of a winter retreat, hence the title.
Solitude
Watercolour
29" x 36"
16k This is a setting in the Mississauga area (8th Line and Brittania Road).  Driving along up 8th Line, this setting of a barn and fence posts caught my eye.  I instantly pictured this painting in my mind.
Hard Work
Watercolour
18" x 24"
27k A painting of a house in Huntsville, Ontario.  I was asked to paint it because the person who owns it had laboured hard to build it for himself as well as his family, so I titled it appropriately "Hard Work".
The Estate
Watercolour
29" x 36"
22k The Estate, a favourite great manor house in Holland, was most challenging because I had very little to work from.  A black and white postcard picture from a book was used as a reference.  This was to be interpreted into a full-colour painting.
The Cottage Life
Watercolour
30" x 36"
36k This cottage is set in beautiful Southern Ontario.  This couple had retirement in mind.  This painting was a joy as well as a challenge to paint, due to the bridge, rocks, and trees.
Patrick Roy
Watercolour
22" x 28"
53k The painting of Patrick Roy is another player, celebrating the 75th year of the NHL by wearing the old Canadian's sweater.
Toronto Skyline
Watercolour
12" x 16"
26k The view of the Toronto skyline was taken from Centre Island.  The CN Tower and SkyDome being the focal points plus various skyscrapers, sailboats, and the ferry crossing to the mainland.
Credit Marshland
Watercolour
10" x 12"
38k A pair of cranes in the marshlands of the Credit River.  I wanted to capture the crane as it soared in flight.
Prairie Falcon
Watercolour, Pen & Ink
10" x 12"
33k I found this photograph of this Prairie Falcon in a bird of prey book and became interested in this shot with the eye, peck and the colour, so I started sketching.  This is the result.
Chinese Horse
Pencil sketch
11" x 14"
40k I was at the R.O.M. one day and this Chinese Horse caught my eye.  I was interested mostly in the head, the leg and the hoof so I concentrated on these areas.
Boomer
Watercolour
18" x 24"
28k Boomer, a part of the family.  A member of the family was leaving home, so the rest of the family asked me to paint this painting of their dog.
Chow Chow
Watercolour
18" x 24"
32k I was given a series of photos and was asked to create this intriguing looking Chinese Chow with its collie-looking fur colouring into a painting.
Man, The Universe in Hand
Ink Sketching
11" x 14"
89k Man working and existing with our universe in hand inspired this work.  I feel this etching portrays this perfectly.
