Oil on canvas

14Wx16Dp

$900.00 CAD

Done awhile ago but it is still one of my personal favorites.

Stayed on North West coast of Mexico a few years back at a smallish town named Atacama  and produced this oil while sitting on a beautiful outcropping overlooking the ocean.

Price:     $1800 (CAD)

​I feel that this oil on plywood panel captures the feeling of my maritime environment. It's a realistic ,yet impressionistic approach all in one. It just has a peaceful feeling to it that I'm happy to have captured.

Price: $2500.00​

This particular painting has been sold, there will be more on the way along this vein,..or should that be stream?

​This painting has been purchased, but is a good example of one of my on site oil sketches.

​Did this from scooter on a drizzly day.

NFS,..Sold just as I was about to give it a description!

I took a shot of this building from my kayak one day and later rendered this oil sketch.The shanty is no longer standing so I'm happy that I preserved it two dimensionally at least.

It's 10x14

This study is oil on masonite. It's approximately 36x24

​Done on wooden panel some time ago. Better with age,...right?

find that the organics inherent in the weaving of these nests affords me an outlet to best display an interpretation that is not only a representation but an impression of what I'm viewing from an abstract approach.

This was on display at The Gables in St. Andrews and purchased last summer.

This is the poster that was used last winter when we were invited to show at The Turbina Gallery in Tepoztlan. They did a commendable design job. I particularly like the blue trawler image! We'll be showing a few pieces at the annual literary festival down there this year as well.The paintings (some newer) are currently in a group show travelling about that country. Last I heard they were at the Mexican embassy.

This subject has always intrigued me. It has a ghostly, calm quality in winter that is both peaceful and therapeutic. I'm sure John, the owner finds it anything  but calm and peaceful but I'm not pumping out hundreds of bundles of cedar shakes each day either.John is now retired,..too bad, I loved this spot!

While in Tepoztlan last visit I painted several still lfes partly as a commission for Janet Clarke. I knew she wanted a painting dealing with food as she is a foodie  efficionato  extraordinaire. I eventually incorporated one of her amazing table settings along with the view of the Sierra Madres in behind her lovely home.You'll probably notice the ubiquitous Mexican ceramic tiles in behind. the veggies and fruit.

This whimsical rendition of our fast declining icons is certainly a divergence from my usual work.

Hi folks. This is a shot of my “not so tidy” studio but I love it. Sits right by the ocean on Passamaquoddy Bay here in New Brunswick. I custom make my frames here as well using recycled wood scavaged from reno sites and garbage pails late at night.

This oil sketch was created from one of my digital shots down by the wharf here in town. It's about two feet by three and is oil on prepared masonite. It sold this past summer to a couple from Fredericton,..I believe.

Sale price was $3000.00

I was quite pleased with the promotional piece that the center came up with for my show thia past summer, so I thought I'd include it here. By the way,  the Two Dories sold.

This is a typical approach to the many paintings I created while Artist in Residence in Bermuda.This one is oil on plywood or panel.Sold during my show at The Botanical Gardens in Bermuda.while Artist in Residence.

The first painting I did was beside the national trust building where we stayed during my Artist in Residency in Bermuda. The owner /developers, Faith and Neil, bought it and one other of an old Inn that they purchased while I was there. No image of that one, I'm afraid. Near the last days of my tenure and never got around to shooting it. I now have a smart phone to record any situations such as this.

I guess we could call these wall flowers. The real name escapes me. Trumpet flowers, perhaps? Painted in Mexico and now on display at The Cobalt Gallery in Saint John,N.B.

I find sunflowers no end of inspiration. There's movement and colour variation throughout their life that I particularly find to be a pleasant challenge.

This two tone house on Peel street at the foot of Dufferin in Toronto is now no more as the expansion of the Queen Street overpass gobbled it up. I shared a studio diagonally from this forlorn structure that had fascinated me for years. It seemed to have "architectural arthritis" as each year it slowly leaned a few degrees lower. I can certainly relate to this inescapable malady. Just had to get the image onto my canvas.

Did a couple of these small 6x6 oils and sent one to Bermuda for a charity auction.

Another Bermuda studio product. living out in the ocean, seemed like the natural thing to do, was to paint fishies!

Feral roosters are running around everywhere in Bermuda so I felt compelled to do a few paintings of them for the show while living in Bermuda.

This beached sardine schooner was down on the Bar Road shore for several seasons. It looked sad and forelorn. I trust that I've captured this feeling on my panel.

It's still in my possession and is for sale as of July 2017

Thanks

Executed several of these mountain scenes last winter as we were literally snuggled right up to them at the hacienda where we stayed.

Had a tough time with this one. No portable easel or umbrella. Paraphenalia kept getting swept away in the wind and rain.

All in all I was quite happy with the end result.

This lone trawler offers a serene aura to the majesty and profound beauty of our tranquil bay here in St Andrews.

This is a blow up of a trending look that I seem to be heading toward .Lots of motion and heavy application of the medium.

Painted this for some friends that live in Mexico but were tired of having only Mexican themed paintings hanging on their walls. Did seem strange working from an image I found on the internet when I had a myriad of natural stymuli all about me. Even though, I enjoyed doing it and the fact that they appreciated the piece made it even more pleasant for me.

Inspired by my suirroundings while in Tepoztlan. Managed to have a local carpenter cut me some wooden panels and that is the material I used for this oil.
