Rockport Ontario 11 x 14 oil on panel, plein air. I stood up above the gift shop entrance to Andress Boatworks and Marina. The rocks I was standing on are the same ones I climbed as a kid when my dad took me there. It`s a unique view vs always street level. I will be back in town next week but I don`t know what day. I will look for another place to paint as there are many. Perhaps out on fish rock, or the public dock looking towards the Marina. I do like painting right by the water. #stlawrenceriver #rockportontario #thousandislandscanada #oilpainting #pleinairpainting #landscapepainting #streets #smalltowns...
Spent time yesterday and today in Rockport Ontario painting from an elevation above the street. Working under a big shade tree was a benefit, and problematic. Colors aren`t so true. Another session or two and it will be in the books. Tgis little hamlet has many views to capture. Im going to visit again for sure.

I`ve been sorting through my inventory and this full sheet has been stashed away safely. Reminds me of my very large painting days. 22 x 30 or full sheet. It doesn`t really have a title. It comes with a coordinating mat I cut for it. I have other bigger works to post. Stay tuned. #maritime #sailing #watercolorpainting #watercolor #sailboating #painting...
Rockport Ontario. A while back I was walking to Andress Boatworks. It was a sunny day, causing my artists eye to see the pattern of darks shadows combined with the large tree. Looking up the street, the barn and cars light up. I have always looked at this reference thinking it would become something. After a few sketches, I replaced the cars with a Lyman outboard. I did the painting as a demo in late June. It`s larger than what I have been doing and realized that I enjoyed the extra space. This is the sort of scene that can be reinvented . 13 x 21, Matchstick Line and Wash. #watercolorlandscape #watercolorpainting #matchstickart #streets #rockportontario #landscapepainting #maritime #stlawrenceriver...
The Smithy A new piece that will be in the Caledonia Village Gallery in May. The exhibit is a collection of work by artists invited to paint on the grounds of the Genesee Country Village Museum, Mumford NY. I met this blacksmith on my first stroll for references. It was interesting seeing the items he created as part of his job there. There are people dressed and working to reflect the period. It`s an interesting trip back in time. 9 x 12 on paper #matchstickart #watercolorpainting #blacksmith #geneseecountryvillageandmuseum #blacksmithing...
