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″ Oil on board Twelve Mile Creek was part of the Welland Canal at one time. As the canal was straightened out over the last hundred years or so the creek was eventually relegated to the backwater that it started out as. This was taken from the bridge at Wellandvale Road, underneath the newer [...] 14″X11″ Oil on canvas Having started, I thought I might as well continue the St Paul Street triptych. The reference photos for these were taken in March, so the season theme is continued. [...] 14″X11″ Oil on canvas One from the archives. This is the first part of a triptych that I sold last month. St Paul Street is the main street of St. Catharines. It backs onto a small ravine where the Second Welland Canal used to run, the raceway used to come right up to the [...] 40″X8″ Oil on prepared panel I spent today working on my Monthly Painting so I thought I would pull one from the archives again. As I just sold this one last week I though it would be a good candidate. The title is a pun of course, the proportions are far from the [...] 5″X7″ Watersoluble pencil on paper This is one of my favourite buildings in St Catharines. I have painted it before and probably will again. Until last summer it was still a working factory but it has been empty since and its fate is uncertain. There is some talk of using it for the Fine [...] 5″X7″ Graphitint on paper I am not sure why I am attracted to these scenes. I took this photograph earlier in the winter, there is more snow now. We did have some rain today though, which has helped to wash some of it away. I shouldn’t complain, we could be in Newfoundland where they [...] 7″X5″ Graphitint on paper I have to confess to suffering snow-blower envy from time to time. Yesterday morning, after spending one and a half hours digging out, might have been one of those times. The temperature was 3C this evening but is forecast to go back down to -4C tonight with another storm on [...] 7″X5″ Graphitint on paper It’s the boys’ birthday today, 17 years old. Why is March always so miserable? We had another storm last night, it dumped another 15 cm (6 ins) of wet heavy snow. It took us nearly an hour and a half to dig out. Only the main streets have been ploughed [...] |
