   This composition was about light and how it can move through the leaves.  Not unlike stained glass.
   It may become a triptych - 36" x 72" - one day.

   These sketches are a series dealing with how light plays from inside the forest looking out.

   Often, one tries to find the great view, but if we aren't careful we'll miss the view before us.  The common, but beautiful!

"This work, which I titled 'Rom. 1:20' is of a small church in a forest of Red Pines on the Madawaska River at Griffith, Ontario. I was quite taken by the nature of the way things growing from the ground or built by the hands of man, both reach for the light."

This sketch is larger than most of mine. I used the larger format to get more information. It is my plan to do a very large studio work from it to capture a very real sense of this imposing landscape.

This work is a celebration of nature's play of light and patterns. I hope to do a larger studio piece from it this winter.

Studio Painting (triptych)
30" x 46" (each panel) - Oil on Canvas


This sketch will become a studio work this winter. In it I have tried to capture the grandeur of Algoma. I've used the canoe in the composition to try and give a sense of scale to the image.

"This work is a tribute to J.E.H. MacDonald of the Group of Seven who did a painting Solumn Land on the other side of these cliffs from the Algoma Central Railway tracks."

This sketch, done in March of 1996 on one of our painting trips, is an attempt to illustrate the way of life on these trips. This cabin of ours is used by a number of other artists in their pursuit of the landscape painting.
