16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas; finished edges ready to hang. 2013

Northern Lights
Northern Lights
Acrylic on stretched canvas - 12" x 12" - unframed with finished edges ready to hang.
Artist's Notes: Canada being an Arctic nation is renowned as a place to go to see the Northern Lights, the Aurora Borealis. The eerie and fascinating dance across the sky of charged particles in the Earth's upper atmosphere is why many foreigners visit Canada in the summer. Here we see the lights, in green, moving across the silhouetted trees of a northern lake.
Last One In! - Muskoka
Last One In! - Muskoka
16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas; finished edges ready to hang. 2012
Artist's Notes: One of many people's memories about Muskoka has to be swimming in lakes and jumping into them from high rock faces. The lakes are generally deep and dark, cold enough to refresh on a hot summer's day, the rock faces tall enough to test the courage of most.
Muskoka Chairs - Lake Rosseau
Muskoka Chairs - Lake Rosseau
16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas; finished edges ready to hang. 2011
Artist's Notes: This scene is based on the famous Muskoka Chair, something many Ontarians have at their cottage and even their backyards at home. Wooden, sturdy and colourful, they sit ready for you to relax and enjoy the dancing colours of their reflections at this resort on Lake Rosseau, a long-time and very upscale Muskoka destination.
Athabasca River, Northern Alberta
Athabasca River, Northern Alberta
10" x 25" acrylic on stretched canvas; finished edges ready to hang. 2011
Artist's Notes: Canada is big...really BIG! Most of it's landmass consists of forests, trees, lakes and rivers for thousands of miles. It is one of the least populated parts of our planet. In northern Alberta, the major river is the Athabasca, flowing from the Rocky Mountains northward into the mighty Mackenzie River that flows to the Arctic Ocean. The Athabasca at this point is flush with minerals from the mountains giving this tributary a milky colour as it joins the main branch amid rocks that line the banks of both.
Kayak Afternoon - British Columbia inlet
Kayak Afternoon - British Columbia inlet
16" x 20" acrylic on stretched canvas; finished edges ready to hang. 2014
Artist's Notes: While the canoe was the water craft of the natives living in Southern Canada, the kayak was the boat of the northern peoples. Crafted in the Arctic, it's simple design and rugged reliability along with speed and agility make it a very popular alternative these days to the canoe. Here we see the bow of a kayak as the paddler takes a break on a river to admire the stunning reflections of the mountains.
Gatineau River loggers - 1887
Gatineau River loggers - 1887
16" x 20" acrylic on canvas board; Unframed. 1996
Artist's Notes: I have always had a love of history, and Canada is not without it's historical gems. Logging was one of the industries that founded this country and this canvas captures a team busy in the forests along the swift Gatineau River in West Quebec, across the Ottawa River from Ottawa. It was labour-intensive, and the Irish provided much of the manpower in the logging shanties of the Ottawa Valley. This image was painted from a black & white photo shot in winter, logging season.
