"Morning Spirit"

Morning Spirit is a landmark painting for the city of Barrie. The extreme fine detail in this painting of a unique perspective of Barrie has captured the city in a very positive, attractive way. The warmth of the early morning sun, glows on the east side of all the buildings and trees, which reflect on the calm waters of Kempenfelt Bay.

"Tranquil Shores"

During an autumn morning hiking excursion, I found an opening on the trail. What luck to spot a Great Blue Heron quietly fishing in this perfect setting. I was intrigued by the smooth granite beach and the sun kissed golden tamaracks that made this tranquil shoreline a perfect scene for a Great Blue Heron!

"Northern Solitude"

A recent canoe experience in Killarney Park one late summer afternoon was one of breathtaking beauty. I lay my paddle across my lap and floated along quietly for some time. The mesmerizing shoreline, surrounded by great white quartzite cliffs and glistening reflections left me feeling in spirit, and of inner peace and calmness. This was my inspiration for this piece.

My primary intent was to capture the monochromatic colors and late afternoon light dotting the rocks, ferns and evergreens. The angular rock formation seem to point to the calm reflections of a solitary loon, which completes the composition and offers a pleasant surprise to the viewer. This is northern solitude in all its glory!

"Morning Watch"

On a warm August morning hike along the water's edge, I found luck on my side. He caught my eye; I immediately stopped to admire this beautiful Great Blue Heron perched on a stump behind the granite rock, motionless with anticipation. My heart skipped a beat with excitement when he stretched his graceful neck and in a lightning speed strike caught a luckless fish! Seconds later he resumes his "morning watch" pose, and I beam at the sight of this marvelous creature!.

"Granite Passage"

I can't think of a more exciting way to spend an unusually warm October day than canoeing on George Lake. The pink granite cliffs, earthy smells, fresh breezes and the sound of the water on my paddle, sets a peaceful canvas of tranquility. The kaleidoscope of colours along the white quartzite background inspires another painting.

My immediate thought was to include a duck or merganser along the shoreline, but this was the perfect northern passage for a pair of geese in flight on their long journey south.
