WIP 3, February 2012

Winter Fence
12 x 16 acrylic on canvas
I found a lovely spot to paint - this path leads to the Hammond River - frozen in the distance. I loved the color of the rusty, old fence.

This painting is just about done.

Fundy Coastline - Low Tide

Fundy Coastline - Low Tide

24 x 36 Acrylic on Gallery Wrap Canvas

This is the largest painting I have worked on so far and it is great fun. I want to capture the lovely wet mud and pools of water reflecting the sky

I was not happy with the sky and some of the land so used gesso to give me a cleaner base to work with.

The next time I post on this will be the final version as this painting will be in the Rothesay Netherwood Art Sale in May.

Latest WIP's

I am excited about my latest paintings in progress.
Spy Glass Hill Sunlight and Shadows
10 x 12 acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas.

We had taken a hike on a beautiful Sunday to the top of Spy Glass Hill - not enough snow for snowshoes.

Latest Painting: By The Sea

18 x 24 acrylic on gallery wrap canvas


This was an exciting painting for me - I had an opportunity to showcase New Brunswick. St Andrews is a beautiful coastal town with colorful and interesting shops and restaurants. I was having lunch with my daughter and husband on the patio of a restaurant with this wonderful view.

I made a few changes: replaced the foreground with more interesting rock shapes and replaced the newly installed windows.

The painting sold at St. David's Men's Art Show and Sale in October 2011.

Waddell Mill - New painting WIP

The underpainting is done in acrylic. I haven't decided if I want to continue in acrylic or use the w/s oils. My vision is to show this building, not as it is, but in a poorer state of repair to add character. But as always, I am keen to do show the beautiful reflections in the water.

Fuller Falls - SOLD

Fuller Falls was sold last weekend at the RNS Art Show and Sale - one of these bitter sweet moments as I realized that it would look nice in my house as well. I wonder how many artists tend to paint art that they would like to own themselves. Likely most.

Yes, that is my smiling mug there - even before I found out the painting had sold.

Now on to the next painting...
