Pilot No. 1


I went downtown today hoping Vim and Vigour (tugboats) would be resting along the waterfront but it appears they are busy elsewhere. So I found Pilot No. 1 tied to the waterfront and found a nice shady spot to plein air paint. It was about 24C today, absolutely fantastic painting weather. Fun sketching along the waterfront.

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 much larger studio painting from these two sketches this spring depicting this approximate area (Blomidon in the background).

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?

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 bye to February. :)

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 on this so let’s hope I don’t completely botch it up. :)

Near Wolfville (oil sketch)

SOLD

Oil on board

9 x 12-inches

This is a winter scene near Wolfville, Nova Scotia. It shows the tree lines, which I believe act as a geographic border for farm lands and a windbreak for crops. When you are up on the Blomidon mountain side, they appear as patches on a quilt. Up close, they’re interesting and always near water.

I have sketched this twice recently and may create a larger painting based on these sketches, having studied the scene like this helps me understand which elements I want to enhance or eliminate. :)

This is an original studio painting from an early evening at Peggy’s Cove, Nova Scotia. There is a lot of folklore throughout Nova Scotia, and I once heard that there is a “dancing rock” (a place where people gathered to dance) at Peggy’s Cove. Not sure this is the exact location in the area but here’s my rendition of it anyway. I could dance there. :)
