The first picture is Sheds and Snow. It is entirely imaginary. The second is The Locks at Hog's Back. This is on the Rideau Canal (a world heritage site) not far from our house. The third is Algonquin Park. It is the first in my Algonquin Park series and was done six years ago.

Still More Paintings

The first picture is Southern Tamaracks. The painting is not quite this bright and purplish in the flesh, but the reproduction is the best I can do at the moment. The second is Peggy's Cove at Sunset, the cove being in Nova Scotia. The third is Abandonned Mine, Kirkland Lake. Kirkland is in Northern Ontario. The photo from which this was painted was representative when I took it 10 or 12 years ago, as the town had fallen on hard times due to the decline of the mining industry. But it is coming back now thanks to gold mining.

More paintings at last

The first painting is called Greece for Edna, done for a friend who had just returned from a trip to Greece. The second is Birches in Winter. I did it because the starkness was appealing. The third is Algonquin Park # 5. I like panoramic sweeps of scenery that don't necessarily have a strong focal point. It was done to replace one that was thought to have been destroyed when the place that was selling it burned down. Two years later I had just finished this when the original turned up undamaged.
