Old Chevy
Watercolor on terraskin 
8"x10"

This is another painting from a sunday drive through the Caledon area. I must thank my son for making me take this photo. A car is not my typical subject matter and yet this is one of my favourite paintings. I loved all the rust spots and variations in the paint job on this car. I also liked the white picket fence.



Caledon Barn
watercolour on Terraskin
16"x20"

This was a painted from a photo that I took on a drive through the Caledon area in southern Ontario on Thanksgiving weekend. It was a dull day but the colour in the trees made it look like a sunny day...they were truly brillant. My favourite part in this landscape is the barbed wire fence. This was one of those paintings that came easy and I knew would work well from the beginning. Right after completing this painting I used the terraskin to paint a beach scene and it was a disaster...thank god we learn from our mistakes!
