Coming in on the Tide

It is time again to start preparing for galleries and markets for the 2013 season.  This painting is actually of Sandy Cove although I have changed the perspective on the houses in the background (creative licence:)  It is quiet on the bay this time of year, but soon it will be back to a steady stream of vessels coming in and out the wharf on the tide.  This painting entitled "Coming in on the Tide" is 8" x 24".

Blessings for 2013!

It is truly hard to believe that once again we are starting the year over - and we have snow!  A snowstorm on the 30th made it possible for me to make a snowman - one of my favorite things to do this time of year.  Thank you to everyone for your support in 2012 giving me a total of 101 original paintings sold, making this the fifth year of sales over 100.  I am busy now preparing for my show in Estepona, Spain in April/May but will be taking a break now and then to post a local scene.  This painting entitled "Winter Feeding" is 5" x 7" and is a common scene in the valley this time of year.  Happy New Year everyone!

Christmas Eve Service

Since it is unlikely that we will have snow here for Christmas, I have created my own.  Inspired by a seasonal card a friend received, I have fashioned this wonderful scene, not unlike that of my childhood when we would don our winter gear, head for church, and celebrate the birth of Christ with friend and family at the Anglican Church in Bridgetown.  The bells in the steeple would ring out good cheer and the atmosphere was mystical.  This painting entitled "Christmas Eve Service" is 5" x 10" and brings with it blessings to you and yours for a very merry Christmas.

Preparing for Christmas

I absolutely love Christmas scenes with lots of snow and activity.  I can just settle into the picture and get lost in memories of my childhood at this wonderful time of year.  I decided to try a different technique with this painting (no sketching and the lines are not well defined) and rather like the outcome.    I hope you enjoy "Preparing for Christmas".  It is 8" x 16".

A Peaceful Day at Blue Rocks

This is another of my favorite spots to visit in Nova Scotia.  Blue Rocks is a wonderful, tranquil destination  located just outside of Lunenburg.  Nestled along the coastline, its harbour is the home to many lobster fishermen.  "A Peaceful Day at Blue Rocks" is 5" x 10".
