These are a few shots of the 2020 - 2021 paintings.  Sorry, I have not been very good at keeping up with this gallery.  There have been many more paintings completed - and that have thankfully found good homes.  This series, for example.... will probably be handed off for retirement presents.  ~ Well, other than maybe the last one.... not 100% happy with it yet.  Probably needs a little more heavy lifting....   ~ Cheers

Jan 2016 ~ "Turning into something Beautiful"


Hola Amigos - As another semester comes to an end... I think I've managed to finish off
another painting.  Always inspired by our Grade 12 painting class to get something started again.

Magnificent group of painters this year.  Too bad they are all spread out across 3 different classes, but alas, I think that will be our new reality while we have so few students in the building.

Couple very different directions in this painting - and I really like the results.
Might even have time to slop something else together before exams roll upon us.

Hola Amigos - Wishing you a very Happy 2016.

This painting has found a new  home with an old friend who retires at the end of the month.
I've tried to work around a 'music' theme... as Terry has been our Music teacher for about 30 yrs.

Lots of textures - 
Lots of colour - 

So... Here's to Terry!   All the best as you open this next chapter in your life.

Hey there - been a few months since the last update.  [ Yes - it was a great golf season]  Anyway.... Fall of 2015 : House warming present to Lauren.  and she probably spent a small fortune to get the framing finished - but it looks great [ maybe better than the painting]
She sent a few of her colour samples after she finished painting the rooms - so I hope the colours match the space well.

Yep - seem to be stuck on the vertical rectangles [ again].... I'll need to see what I can do about that.
Ok - Merry Christmas

Best Painting in quite some time : )


Hey there - so here is the last completed painting from the Fall 2014 Series.
Really proud of the way this finished up.
Many really cool things happening here.... great colour - great texture - nice composition.
This one has already found a good home - for a friend at School [ Mrs. E-N]

Colour balance of the photo is a bit off - as the frame is unfinished pine, not yellow.

A terrible photo showing one from the new series[ 5 or 6 ]
: Fall 2014   I started a new series during my Grade 12 painting class

This is a detail of the upper part of the painting.
Very happy with the interaction between the texture and colours.

2014 Paintings: Fall Series #2

Very nice photo - one from the new series : Fall 2014.
The painting that I finished for Sel and Jane seemed to trigger a creative burst.
This is the second paiting - in a series of 5 or 6.
Some of these might end up as Christmas presents.... hohoho
Very Happy that it has found a good home  : )

  • Interesting that one of the first things that God created was light! Its also interesting that people have such emotional connections and reactions to both light and colour. My paintings explore the use of colour relationships... and some interesting texture thrown in for foundation and structure. Hope you enjoy them.
