7″X5″ Pen on paper It is hard to go anywhere in Niagara-on-the-Lake without tripping over an antique shop. This barn is a classic “gothic vernacular”, a style which was very common for homes in Southern Ontario in the latter part of the 19th century. It is a little more unusual to find barns [...] 5″X7″ Linocut print I want to do some more of these, I started one this evening but I won’t be finished for a few days so I thought I would post this one which I did a couple of years ago. It is a bit rough but it was my first attempt since childhood, [...] 5″X7″ Oil on panel Another beautiful Spring day. The trees are just starting to put out their first leaves, still more yellow than green and thin enough that the shadows are still quite skeletal. I went to a lovely choral concert this evening, mostly madrigals. The weather turned quite stormy this evening and the [...] 8″X11″ Watercolour on paper Time to pull one from the archives again. The Salem Chapel or British Methodist Episcopal Church was once headquarters to the Underground Railroad, the network that guided slaves from the United States to freedom in Canada. It was Harriet Tubman’s church. It sits on a shabby run-down section of [...] 16″X20″ Oil on board This is another one pulled from the archives, about three years old.

Someone told me that you can see right into The Globe from one of the restaurants, I couldn’t find it but there [...] 8″X6″ Pen & ink & watercolour on paper This is the sketch of the Canada Hair Cloth building I did the other day. I used white ink to touch up the details. I think it is finally getting to be Spring. It was bloody cold today, with frost on the cars this morning, [...] 14″X11″ Oil on canvas This is the last of the St. Paul Street triptych. The Canada Hair Cloth building has been in the local news a lot recently. It was in business as a working factory until only a couple of years ago. It is a wonderfully Dickensian building that sits right behind the [...] 7″X5.5″Pen on paper On the day I went to the Tates I walked along the Victoria Embankment. I sat for a while on a bench not far from the Houses of Parliament and listened to a conversation between an older man and his adult daughter (I am guessing). He was telling her how [...] |
