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.

Sailboats with Birds

This was a very still morning in Toronto harbour, and birds sat on the breakwater.

Compliments

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

Maya

Maya finished.

A friend of mine, Caroline, another dog walker, walks Maya every day.
Maya often sits before me, giving me her most appealing smile, in the hopes that I will give her a cookie!
Another story about Maya to come...

On the Easel Today

• This is a sequence of photos of how I often work.In the first photo, I have divided the reference photo into a grid of 4, and then sketched in onto the panel in charcoal.

• In the second photo, you can see I have sketched in the image using thinned oil paint which is a combination of burnt sienna, and ultramarine blue.
  
• The dog has started to take shape, and I will finish the painting off later today.
