North end of Kootenay Lake, 20x24in. oil on canvas, 2011

Some older pieces that I enjoyed making, a lot, I am so busy with tents at the moment that I have not  been able to make paintings, but seeing these again was cool.
I have found a new studio to work out of, my good friend Bartel is renting me his shop, its the perfect space to work from, and its a two minute walk from my old home! Very excited to be so close to my son, and my old stompin grounds!

Blue Crow

                                        Blue Crow 14x20in oil on mahogany board, 2012

This painting sold about two weeks after I painted it, I think another version would be good, so I have an 18x24 panel of birch to try it out on. Stay tuned.

View along the Salmo Creston

                           Along the Salmo Creston, 18x24in, oil on canvas, June 17 2015


A beautiful afternoon, a painting that is not quite finished, but the paint is thick and wet and I will wait to put some final touches and enhance the composition.

These two oil sketches need some touch after I got back home, touched them up this morning, and presto, two more pieces.

Slocan Lake from New Denver

                        Perfectly hot day, Slocan Lake, 20x24in, oil on canvas June 8 2015

Spent a super hot day under a shade tree by the lake, good decision, I was nice and cool by the water and managed to kick out this oil sketch, needs a bit of touch yet but I think it represents the iconic Slocan Lake view.

Power House

                                         Old Power House 8x10in. oil on birch, June 6 2015

This old power house along the Kootenay River has seemed like a good painting subject to me for a number of years, finally got to it yesterday.

Taghum BC

                         Low water, High Noon, Taghum 16x20in oil on canvas, May 22 2015

The river is low, the glacial runoff and rainwater usually fills it by July, here's hoping that the dry hot summer being predicted isn't too severe.
