16"X20" Oil on board

This one is a couple of years old. The scene caught my eye one day driving over the Glendale bridge. The sky was almost black but the evening sun had just managed to find its way under the clouds to illuminate Lock Four to the South. I didn't have a camera with me at the time, so I went back the next day and took a picture anyway. I tried to get the lighting effects from memory.

5"X7" Acrylic on board

I seem to be doing a lot of acrylics recently. Am I getting the hang of them yet? I am not sure, I am getting better at the colour mixing I think, but am still not used to the lack of blendability. The clean up is certainly a little easier.

This is another familiar sight for me, here the overcast sky has created an early twilight. Fortunately there is no boat or I could be waiting another half hour.

I don’t know what this barrel-like thing is. It sits in the middle of the canal just south of the Lakeshore bridge, by Port Weller Dry Docks.

The canal is a constant source of inspiration. Nobody else seems to be painting it. The locks, the lakers, the birds, the bridges are all endlessly fascinating to me.
