In and around Kincardine

Four Members of the Victoria Park Gallery have their work up at Bean's Bistro.  The three on the left are mine.  Bean's is a great unique little coffee shop in Kincardine where I love to sit over looking the Harbour and enjoy a latte.  I have one more on display but it's not pictured.  As well as at the Victoria Park Gallery, I have some art on display at Dr Deller-Quin's office and the Tourism Office.

New at the Victoria Park Gallery, November Lake Before The Snow 24 x 40 Oil on Canvas

Art2 at the Arts Quinte West Gallery

 

The first snowfall of the year blanketed everything.  The boy and I were out making snow angels before sunrise.  Not my idea of the first thing to do in the morning but it is wonderful to watch him frolic about with delight.  Yes, I did make angels as requested.

Something about winter makes me want to hide in my painting cave and paint sunshine and summer flowers.  These two paintings are a donation to the Arts Quinte West Gallery here in Trenton for a fundraiser 'Art2'.  Everything 12" square is ONLY $50.00.  On to bigger pieces, more sunshine and flowers and grape vines.



November Gales

 

Painted for the Arts Quinte West Juried Show 'Stories' in November.  This encaustic wave piece has snippets of news clippings from the Great Storm of November 1913 which plummeted the Great Lakes from November 9-13 leaving more than 250 people dead and 19 ships lost.

 



 

 

Also for the juried show, this painting is typical of a visit to the beach with my son, an only child who enjoys family 'hoping'.  In this painting he is chatting with his new friend Grace and her mom while we wait for the fireworks to start over the harbour at Kincardine's Station Beach.

Harry Potter and Painting

 

It is will a sense of finality relief I write this post.  I have been reading Harry Potter.  That is a lot of reading and I have been very distracted.  I'm so happy Harry accomplished his mission and I can get back to work.  This painting I started weeks ago and I think I can finally call it finished.

This painting of the Bryon Bay light was a late Christmas present for my brother in-law.  He sent me this picture when he was working in Australia a year ago.  I used to paint a lot of lighthouses, I love the history, architecture and of course, the locations.
