Spring Greens, 15x30. Painted on location at a spectacular cabin overlooking Conroy Marsh, early spring. A myriad of greens!

Galeairy Light, 14x14. Painted on location in Algonquin Park at the end of a wonderful day of boating. I just got the colours down, then finished in the studio.

Flying Leaves, 12x24. I love this image of the wind sending colourful fall leaves flying through the air.

Solitary Pine, 12x24. On location… on shore, Lake Clear. A single, strong young pine braves it all with lively beauty.

Shoreline. Lively texture and colour abound in this fresh new painting style. It expresses all the abundance of nature so well.

Rays of Light, 11x14. Sometimes the light is just right to send rays bursting upwards as well as lighting halos around the cloud tops. Not easy to paint!

Northern Shoreline, 12x12. I love rocky shorelines at dusk. Amazing colours and the dark rocks make fabulous patterns!

Moonlit Paddle, 10x20. Oh how exciting to be paddling with the light of the moon! Every time, an exotic adventure on the water.

Mallard Take-off, 10x12. Sudden, an uplifting from the marsh grasses...a mallard takes it's magnificent flight.

Little Maple, 16x20. We all start somewhere... and this tough little maple was bursting forth from between the rocks with a fall song...loud and clear!

Spring Rush, 18x24. The mighty Madawaska at Palmer Rapids in early spring — a misty, magical world...but not quiet! The high water was roaring!

Spring Greens, 16x20. On location in the Madawaska Valley. An old farm scene with new greens bursting between tall pines.

Near Whitney, 24x24. On location, just when the ice is breaking apart. A recent snowfall that was melting as I was painting.

Along the Whitney Railbed, 24x24. On location....fast-melting ice break-up. Dark, black water and blinding bright snow. Thrilling...totally exciting painting!

Omega Lake Pine, 12x24. This is of a very special place for me — a majestic pine I can see from the end of our dock. I love painting this tree and pines in general. They are prolific in this area and every one has a different shape!

Rock Lake Sunset, 20x24. This is a beautiful painting of a beautiful lake in Algonquin Park. On location, on an island in the middle of the lake, late afternoon. I got most of the scene on the canvas, then had to pack up the canoe and head back to shore…fast!
Rock Lake Sunset 20x24

Rock Lake, 12x24. On location in Algonquin Park. Huge rock cliffs give the lake its name. Fascinating shapes, beautiful warm, glowing colours. Amazing.
Rock Lake 12x24-$850-framed

Great Blue, 12x24. A heron taking off and heading out of the mist and into the sun. I love to paint birds in flight...so mystical and majestic!

Golden Morning Sun, 12x24. Lake Opeongo in Algonquin Park. This location sparked a series of early morning mist paintings…one of my faves.

Georgian Islands, 10x30. On location. So may islands! So may beautiful shapes, smoothed by time. Such amazing light crashing onto the water!

Early Morning Paddlers, 20x24. A group of paddler friends are just about to head down swifts on the Madawaska River. Aglow with anticipation and the early morning light.
The Sedona Collection
I completed 10 plein air paintings in Arizona. Sedona is an area world-renowned for its massive red rock mountains rising vertically, hundreds of feet, from desert terrain. At sunrise and sunset, the rocks turn a flaming orange-red — a painter’s dream of shapes, colours, textures, highlights and shadows. What fun!
