Three Trees
oil on canvas 76.2 x 101.6 cm (30" x 40")


I'm not sure how accurate the colour and contrast in this image is to the original painting. I've done my best, though, to match the digital image to the painting.

Chair's a little wonky.

Two Cushions
digital image 26.7 x 45.7 cm (10.5" x 18")

This is a black and white scan of a coloured pastel drawing. I prefer the drawing in black and white to the colouring that I originally gave it.

Do these trees look like they're in water or mud?

Winnipeg River
digital image
22.9 x 40. 6 cm (9" x 16")

This is a digital image based on a recent painting. It's way better than the painting, so much better in fact, that I'm reluctant to post the original.

Tanned

I wonder if there is anyone who has a tan opposite to this one?
