Work In Progress

I am working on a 20 x 16 inch, oil painting of Shaws Beach in P.E.I..
This is needing a lot of work on it still; but it is fun so far.

Colmer Elevator

I grew up on a farm in Saskatchewan very near where this elevator stood at the time.  It is no longer there and hasn't been for a very long time; but someone sent me an old photo of it and so I attempted to paint it. Good memories.

Prairie Ghost 1

Seeing as these beauties are so quickly disappearing from our horizons I thought I would paint a couple of them.  They bring back memories of growing up on the farm.

What I Am Working On

I am working on a couple of oils at the moment; but nothing is finished as yet. As these are just works in progress I didn't worry about getting great photos of them.
The first one is a 20 x 16 inch gallery wrap canvas, working in oil.

The second one is a 12 x 9 gallery wrap canvas, in oils also.
This is from a photo I took years ago, 2004, so it is not the best picture to work from; but I really liked the area we were at.  It is around the "Tangleflags" area close to Lloydminster. A very scenic area if you like to take photos.  The day we were wandering around there we saw a badger and of course, gophers and many birds.  The old school is still there as well as a church, or were there in 2004 anyway.  We haven't been back since so I am sure there have been some changes.

Misha The Wolf

My first wolf ever.

Bears Watching Tourists

This summer while driving through the mountains we saw a mother bear and her cub on the road.  The people in the car ahead of us honked their horn at them, they ran across the road and climbed/jumped over the cement barriers.  When we got to where they had jumped over they both stood up behind the barrier and watched the cars going by.  It made me laugh to see them watching us the way that we usually watch them.  I managed to click a fast, blurry photo before we passed them.  Everyone time we think of them we laugh so I decided to try and paint them.
