Summer House

It's kinda spooky for Halloween.

This was painted when I was watching a studio neighbour sell pictures of houses like they were hotcakes.  I didn't take the photograph, it was from a magazine but I kind of wanted to prove I could do it. 

I did a class in archetectural rendering at Ryerson when I was working as a graphic artist.   I hated every minute of it.  I think my boss thought he could get all the pictures of idillic suburban life done in house and cheap.  I am less uncompromising now but while my ego is more pliant my joints are not!  I think it turned out okay.  You can sort of get how I feel.

Storm Coming This was one of a series of sky paintings.

There's a nifty website if you like looking at clouds:  www.cloudappreciationsociety.org

<tr> <td> Bridge

This was painted before I got my glasses.  It could have been based on a photo taken at Edwards Gardens.  I think this foot bridge got washed out.  I did the underpainting all in RED. I was experimenting at the time. I think if I were to paint it again I would change the composition a bit.
