"By the Sea", an oil study

"By the sea" is an oil study. I enjoyed painting this study of a model often used by Jack Vettriano. I enjoy his painting style. He portrays figures with a bold, strong illustrative quality that I am drawn to.

Seen here is a cloudy, rainy atmosphere with a woman waiting nonchalantly for attention. Her gaze to some passing interest as her hand rest on the sea wall.











Here is our new ad copy for City Newspaper and also being used for the Bach Children's Chorus gala fund raiser. This should be a fun event and I hope you consider supporting this wonderful group.

Castles Made of Sand

Here I am building sandcastles at the beach. This a favorite summer past time. I have come to this place on and off for over 40 years. Sauble Beach, Ontario on the base of the Bruce Peninsula of Lake Huron is quiet and little changed in all that time. This beach has it all, sand dunes, a long gradual incline into the water and great rolling breaker during the storm. Spectacular sunsets in the peaceful evenings.

This is 5" x 7" oil on canvas.
