Jules Bay

Decided to do a larger landscape for something a little different. Our province is blessed with over 100,000 lakes with cottage life and fishing definitely huge here.  This imagined shore line is like one I've seen many many times in a variety of different lakes.

Louie

This handsome fellow was a treasured friend missed sorely by his friend and owner.  I hesitate to use the word owner here because of the special bond that existed between the two.  Louie was a large, gregarious fellow who loved the beach with the opportunity to run,  and you can sense his fun loving spirit in the smile and look. He was a fun challenge to paint, and I was rewarded with an enthusiastic handshake and  thank you when he was picked up. No greater reward for an artist.

Rio

Rio was a beloved pet of a young family who are like family to me.  Here she is snuggled up with her arm around pal Airah who I'm sure misses her as much as the family.  This painting was done alla prima with about half an hour of touch ups the next morning.

Kim's Hat

This lovely lady was walking laps around the pool at our resort in Mexico and I was immediately struck by her beautiful unique looking hat.  After the second go around, I stopped her and requested a photo to do a sketch which she enthusiastically agreed to.  Her and her husband were down from Virden and I hope she sees this.
 

Ione"s Vase

Ione Thorkelson is a Manitoba treasure with her magnificent glass creations.  This is a vase I acquired close to forty years ago and never tire admiring the pure beauty of the piece.  It is perfection in it's lovely shape and gorgeous colours.  Now I didn't recreate the colours and marks perfectly, but the essence and feel of the piece are here.

Orkin

Orkin is my grandaughters pet cat in charge of pest control, and doing a fine job. This was a Christmas present which she requested, and here it is framed and ready to hang in it's new home.  My posting here is late as I was away...maybe Mexico...okay Mexico.
