Two Swans

Two swans feeding on Lake Ontario. Every once in a while they stretch their heads down to the lake floor, so all you can see is their bottoms in the air. So cute! They are lovely majestic animals.

Muskoka Morning



















This is a quintessential cottage country early morning when the sun is just about to burst into the new day. It is peaceful and still, and full of promise.

Maggie and Newman Go to the Park

These are two little dogs that I walk daily. They love to ride shotgun in my car till we get to the dog park. Maggie is a West Highland White Terrier and Newman is a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel.

Three Sailboats


An early morning scene at a sailing club in on Lake Ontario. This is part of a series in which I was exploring brushstrokes and colours to depict reflections, and I continue to be fascinated with skies.

Stillness

Morning is my favorite time of day. I just loved playing with these brush strokes, and the reflections in the water.

Compliments

Haven't done much in the way of still life, but these orange beauties inspired me. A theme, maybe...?
