There is always something intriguing and stoic about the last dwelling on the edge of big body of water.  On it's east side, this small island faces a quiet harbour with cozy cottages on friendly isles, while the other faces the open water of Lake Nippising.  At times the scene is calm and serene, like in this painting, while at others it can be breathtakingly wild with storms charging in from the west.  In other words, never a dull day and a true artist's delight!
This piece has a special handcrafted frame made from aged Butternut wood, visited over the years by tiny wood worms who have created a maze of caves and tunnels, resulting in this beautiful and unique texture.

Since I can remember the rural countryside, with its harmonious mixture of farms and dwellings set amongst the natural beauty the land, has always called to me.  After studying art, and subsequent stint of big city life, I was drawn away to the kind of places where a tractor passing by on the road is not that remarkable of a thing.  Before long in this environment my focus shifted from Illustration toward painting the land I lived in and loved.
Years later I continue to size up every scene before me as a possible painting.  This particular locale presented itself to me one typical fall day while waiting for my truck to get its' annual undercoating applied. 
​The frame is handmade from reclaimed barnyard and custom coloured to match the painting.
