Morning House

5.5″X8″ WC pencil, pen & wash on paper

Happy July fourth to my American friends!
This is the house just kitty-corner from my house. I used two kinds of pen, a brush pen with permanent ink, and a fountain pen with water soluble ink. I am jus… [...]

Niagara Central Hobbies

7″X5″ Acrylic on boardAll artists in the Region are probably familiar with this building on St. Paul Street, St. Catharines. This is almost the only source of art supplies in the whole peninsula. There is now a Michaels, a store which I find deeply dep… [...]

Sushi

11″X14″ Oil on canvasThis is another one from the St. Catharines series, again a couple of years old. Anyone local will remember this landmark on Geneva Street, it was such a vibrant shade of emerald green. Unfortunately, last year they covered it in b… [...]

Pony Mart

House

10″X8″ Oil on boardI have had rather an unproductive week so far so I thought I would dip into the archives again.Shortly after we moved into this house the only art supply shop in town went into liquidation. Everything was on sale and I bought myself… [...]

Salem Chapel

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 Geneva Street in St. [...]

Building for Sale

16″X20″ Oil on board

This is another one pulled from the archives, about three years old. The subject is the same area as the St Paul Street triptych that I posted a a few weeks ago. In fact this is just a detail of a couple of the buildings. The title refers to the fact that the [...]

Pony Mart

11″X16″ Watercolour on paper

Another one from the archives. This is one of the funkier buildings on St. Paul Street, it has definitely seen [...]
