new art arrival!

South of Town 38" square x2

Happy to show this new large format (38" square x2) piece based on a local scene. Ive never been a fan of square format artwork but when doubled up, it creates a nice landscape with the added element of being in 2 pieces!  When choosing what to paint here, I realized I really hadn't done anything that reflects the big beautiful sky that is always a part of any view around here.  With no real foreground detail, the middle and background are able to step up and become the key to the painting. A drive, walk or pedal in the nearby countryside on a good day will offer up something quite similar to what I have depicted and that is what I was going for.

Keyhole Sunrise

Second of 2 pieces created this year based on views from a favourite destination of mine, a wonderful old style cottage near Kilbear Provincial Park on Georgian Bay.  Often the day there begins with a heavy, clouded sky as was the case on this morning, but already the sun was finding places to peak through and make its warmth known.  Looking forward to the next visit to this magical place and the next painting that will come from it!

Kalopore Sunrise

At first glance, it is hard to tell clearly what you are seeing in this piece, the dark field with snow scattered through it, appears almost like dark water with ice floating in it.  The drama of first light is at times intense, and I didn't hold back in the colour choices to maximize that effect with this painting.
