Little Roses

White on White

I usually work on Arches 140lb cold pressed paper and have done so for many years. I tried a new kind of paper today. It comes from the Papeterie St. Armand in Montreal. Each 4x6 inch sheet is individually made of pure cotton pulp. It's quite white and rougher than Arches. I love it! (Sold)

How to Change a Sphere into a Flower Double Primary Palette

I find the work of Joyce Washor to be incredibly inspiring. She paints small still life watercolours and landscapes. This is a short video about how she paints certain kinds of flowers.

Overcast Forest

Another scene captured at our much walked Mont St-Bruno. Worked from a photograph once back in my studio.

Wobbly Bottle

When setting up a still life, I often audition several background fabrics and coloured papers. White is winning out most of the time these days! It allows the reflections of the still life objects, the lighting and even the weather of the day to appear as part of the composition.

Landscape Layers

A small painting inspired by a photograph I took in the Laurentians. While I enjoy plein aire painting and work outdoors on occasion, circumstances don't always allow me to drop everything and paint! When a lovely vista presents itself, I often capture it in a photograph. This way, I can relive the moment as I paint it in my studio.

Apple Study

I love the work of Claude Cézanne! It was with his watercolours in mind that I began this small study. He layered colours one over the other to achieve luminous layered paintings. (Sold)
