Wind in Her Sails

Wind in Her Sails

12" x 16" - acrylic on paper - $75

This stand of trees has been an inspiration for many past paintings and perhaps because I am staying on Redstone Lake in Haliburton, it's summer and I am in close proximity to the little island on which the trees sit, it spoke to me once more - or maybe I just returned to tried and true imagery - and had some painting fun once again. 

Weslemkoon Pines

Weslemkoon Pines

16" x 20"  - acrylic on canvas  

This is for sale - contact me for price if interested.

This is the second painting based on a photo I took while visiting my friend MK at her cottage on Westlemkoon Lake.

I worked on this painting at the same time I worked on Mystic Light, and while this one may look less abstract, it is similar in its pared down simplicity. I was really happy with how this one came together. I love the pine trees, and despite the absence of signs of growth and life (green pine needles), they still appear vital and strong through colour and light.
