Red Cross in Japan
The Canadian Red Cross is one of many organizations providing assistance to the victims of the earthquake and resulting tsunami in Japan. They have medical teams working there now. As I watch the news of this devastation unfold, I can’t help but think they’ll probably send more people and supplies soon. If you want to [...]
Bottle study No. 3
Bottle Study No. 3 Obviously this antique bottle is on a boat. A boat listing heavily to one side, perhaps in a great storm, sailing towards calmer waters with The Old Spice Man. Yeah, that’s it. ;) Oil on board, (12.5 x 17.5 cm), painted from life (as usual).
Snow is still on the ground
Donated to a local animal welfare group as a fundraiser. =^..^= This is an earlier and smaller oil sketch for a winter landscape sketch near Wolfville, Nova Scotia. I’m trying to determine how much of the red soil should poke through the snow in this painting (not very much). I intend to work up a [...]
Urban sketch in oils
Urban Sketch in Oils I’ve evacuated the people and trees from this downtown Halifax setting to reveal the brick and mortar bones of the city in this small (12.5 x 17.5 cm) urban sketch in oils. Perhaps there should be flashing red lights, or a siren? Maybe even a tumbleweed?
Dramatic sky, oils sketch
Dramatic sky, oils sketch Click here for details and availability. This is a small oil sketch on board (12.5 x 17.5 cm) for a landscape painting with a dramatic sky that I’m working on and am quite excited about. This little dramatic sketch seems moody, just like the sky. A good way to say good [...]
Antique bottle study No. 2
Antique Bottle Study No. 2 Another small antique bottle study (12.5 x 17.5 cm) in oils on board. I like the way the bottom thickness varies with antique glass objects such as this.
But wait!
But wait! I don’t do line drawings or charactures. So where did this come from? Just a doodle, I guess. Been wearing a red hat for years and this one is getting a good work out this winter. Only 16 days until daylight savings time. Looking forward to spring. (Although I will miss wearing this [...]
Antique bottle study in oils
Antique Bottle Study in Oils No. 1 This small painting (12.5 x 17.5 cm) is a result of experimenting with mediums. Generally, I don’t like to use use mediums (oils, resins etc) but do appreciate the job they do. As usual with my small still life paintings, this one was painted from life. [...]
Off and on
Here’s a painting that has been on and off my easel about a half dozen times over the last couple of years. The work I did on it over the past weekend is making this painting finally make sense to me. Prior to that it was too abstract. There is still work to be done [...]

Wende gave us a personal tour of their home. Hope you enjoy the video, it shows the studio and some of the artwork [...]
