Rural Morning

Driving through rural Ohio last fall in the early morning, I passed a quite a few barns that have me rubbernecking, and doing a few screeching to stops and backing up so I can photograph them. I do pay attention to the traffic, but there wasn't much, thank goodness. Looking at them makes me feel peaceful and still.

Canada Geese in Spring

Canada Geese used to fly south in the winter, but since we didn't have one this year here in Toronto, the livin' was easy for these guys and gals. Even though they are more and more are considered pests, (no natural predators, lots of nesting places and food sources, and breed like crazy), I think they are gorgeous. I never get tired of looking at them, so naturally I wanted to paint them. I plan to do more.

Daybreak

Early morning is my favorite time of day. It holds such wonderful potential.
This rural painting is from a photo that I took while driving through Ohio last fall. I live in a large city, so I love to drink in the countryside when I can.

Avery

This is my second painting of Avery, a Springer Spaniel in the creek where there is a wonderful dog walking park. It must have felt good on a summer day.

Tia

I saw Tia at the park the other day, and her winter coat is much darker that her summer coat as seen in this painting. Here she is swimming joyfully in Lake Ontario. She is a sweet dog who loves to dip her head into the water, and like most labs, is sure you have a treat for her.

Egret

This is a painting I did for the the Reflections on Water Challenge at Daily Paintworks.
Because I haven't painted as much as I would like lately, I found myself struggling and being overly picky, which is  what I would like to get away from.
