Avery

Avery is a Springer Spaniel I see on my dog walks. She was chillin' in the creek. I'm told she has collections of things in a special spot in the basement of her people's house. You know, sticks, tennis balls, and various dog toys.

Queen and Dufferin

 This is a corner of Toronto where a lot of construction is taking place (one of the areas of Toronto where a lot of construction is going on!). The road is being straightened out, and it will be much easier to go north and south on Dufferin.

On Deck

I just love the curves of horses, especially the athletic dressage horse. This is at a dressage show in Palm Beach in Florida.

Museum Piece

This is an adult sized vase in the Grand Hall of Whitehall, the home of Henry Flagler which is now a museum in Palm Beach, Florida. Carrère and Hastings designed the entryway to be the largest and grandest of any room in a private home built during the Gilded Age. I visited the museum in February, and was drawn to this piece. As for the painting of this, it was challenging because of the different reflective surfaces in the room; gilding, porcelain, marble, and various light sources.

10x14" Oil on canvas

Carousel Horse

I did a version of this in a different format. I love the image and the colour. It is so wonderfully old fashioned, and it is a ride I would have no trouble getting on. I really enjoyed painting the gilt frames around the mirrors - for me it required a lot of conscious layering of dark and light tones. It was quite technical.
