These new paintings will be on display at the Riverbend Library in March 2013.

After a trip to Toronto where I met up with a few of my old friends from CBC and the film program at Ryerson, I painted these scenes at our house at the lake, En Plain air.  We talked late into the night about film, philosophy and art.  I was so encouraged by their enthusiasm about my new " life in art"  that I whipped off these paintings after a tumultuous summer storm.  It just goes to show you how important old friends are and how crucial mental stimulation is to one's artistic endeavours.

Small paintings for wintertime

Wintertime encourages me to reflect upon the year spent in Alberta's landscape. I do by making small pictures using gouache, sometimes assisted by watercolour pencils, from pictures I have taken on my outings. Here are a few examples. All are 4" by 6" or smaller.
