The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood The weather’s turned and most of the leaves have fallen even here in Southern Ontario. There were still some good photo opportunities to be had however, some trees with leaves still clinging against a backdrop of hazy blue, brown and green. I’m now looking forward to [...]

The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood A beautiful Ontario fall day yesterday meant a trip to High Park in Toronto to take pictures of the fantastic colour. I hope to be able to translate some of these photos into paintings over the coming winter. While the photos just don’t compare to the [...]

The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood Fall has settled in after a big storm earlier this week. Many leaves have left the trees and some of the bright colours are dulling. There are still some good photo ops, but it seemed so short this year! I have made some good progress on [...]

The River – WIP12
The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood After a glorious Canadian Thanksgiving weekend with balmy temperatures and constant sunshine, I’m back into the foreground of The River. I have departed from my original plan in that I think I need to echo some of the green-y blues that I have elsewhere around the [...]

The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood Took a 600 kilometre spin through Algonquin Park yesterday. Although it was off and on rain we found some beautiful colour and hiked some lovely trails. I haven’t had a chance to look at the photos yet, maybe I’ll just save ‘em all up for the [...]

The River – WIP8
The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood We will be going to Thunder Bay in the next little while, looking for Fall. I expect we’ll find it. I guess I can’t wait patiently for it to come to my little part of Ontario so I’ve got to go haring after it up north. [...]

The River – WIP7
The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood We went walking/geo-caching in the area that was the inspiration for paintings like Kaleidoscope and Passing Storm on the weekend. While there is still too much unrelieved green for this autumn enthusiast, I could see the beginnings of fall in the brassy leaves and even the [...]

The River – WIP6
The River 36 x 48 – Acrylic on Wood It is darker and more subdued across the river, but some of the early fall colours still come through. The sky will echo the river but also be more subdued in keeping with how far far away it is. This painting is such great fun – [...]
