Winter Woods III, 5 x 7", watercolour, January 2010

These are more in my continuing experiment with small paintings. I am fascinated with the shapes that trees make when surrounded by snow. The shadows stretching out toward the viewer decorate the snow with an endless variation of patterns.

Sugar Woods

Sugar Woods, 7 x 10", watercolour, Jan 2010

SOLD

While we are still in the heart of winter, preparations have already begun for this year's production of maple syrup. There are sugar maples in the woods nearby, and they are beautiful trees. These trees do not have buckets hanging from them in this picture, but they might soon!

Snowing again

"Tree Shadows, 2010" 5 x 7 inches, watercolour, Jan 2010

SOLD

Seeing as we are having another snowy day, here is another picture of a snowy, sunlit woodland. I have painted this clump of trees before, as I find it beautiful.

Angel in the Snow

Angel in the Snow, 7 x 10", watercolour, Nov 2009, $250

We have not had any snow here yet, but this is about the only part of the province that has not had snow. It has been cold and is feeling a lot like winter so I guess my thoughts are tending toward pictures to use for Christmas cards. This is a possible candidate for a series of cards. I will announce it on here once they are ready.

Snow paintings

December Sunrise, 7 x 10", watercolour, Oct 2009, $195

These are paintings done for display and sale at the Digby General Hospital as part of their Winter Light show, starting November 18th. I have painted the above winter scene before. It is of the view from the home where I grew up. I have liked the previous paintings so much that I kept it for myself and gave the next one to my parents. The one above is a new interpretation, and is the first time I have offered this scene for sale.

Shadows Stretching, 5 x 7", watercolour, Oct 2009, $98

Light through Trees, 5 x 7", watercolour, Oct 2009, $98

One cold and bright February morning I went for a walk. The snow was newly fallen and the sun was still low in the sky. The light coming through the trees was fantastic. I took many photos and as I go back to them at this time of year, I always find something new to portray.
