7″X5″ Acrylic on board A familiar sight to anyone who tries to cross the canal on the Lakeshore Road at about 5:30 on a late winter evening. One of those situations where the visor really doesn’t help. You have to drive one-handed while using the othe… [...] I got tired of having my little paintings festooning every window and door frame in the house. I actually made this very rudimentary rack to display some of them for a craft show I went to in the Fall, but it works very well as a place to dry [...] 7″X5″ Oil on board At last the days are getting a little longer. This is a sight that often greets me as I get out of work and start for home [...] 7″X5″ Oil on boardHappy Christmas everyone! [...] 7″X5″ Oil on boardYes it is starting to look quite Christmassy out there and it has been quite cold (well not by Winnipeg standards) around -7 C.

Going to work this morning and coming home, it was a lot colder than that, especially with the “wind-chill factor”. I have had this photograph since around this time last year, but I drove past them today and the light looked much the [...] 8″X10″ Pastel on paper Part of my new regime includes allowing myself to post some older pieces. I chose this one because I don’t think I have posted any pastels here yet, and because the weather looks about right for the time of year. I did it about four or five years ago and it was actually [...] 8″X5.5″ Pen on paper I have lost track of how many “Noon on the Common” drawings and paintings I have done. I realized that I have this great view from the lounge at the theatre, so I may do this same view a few times over the winter and spring, before the season starts. I took a [...] |
