POND ON THE ROBERT CAMPBELL

Title:  Robert Campbell Highway

Medium:  Mixed Media

Size:  16x20

(sold)

I really enjoyed painting this picture, this pond  is at about km 457 

on the Campbell Highway.  

It rained at Magundy for most of my three days off, so I worked on and off on it.

Yesterday Jeff and I went 

mushroom hunting and picked some morels and King Boletus mushrooms.

We cooked some laketrout and pan-fried the mushrooms in butter.

What a great life.

My friend Nina Toeller took the photo I 

used as reference.  I have painted this place before but it was darker and 

the dead trees were in silhoette.

My friend Nina Toeller took a photo from behind the Faro mine.

reference and this work resulted.

I have been making lots of art cards as they have been selling well.

THUMBNAIL POND ON MITCHELL ROAD

Title:  Pond - Mitchell Road

Medium:  Watercolour

Size:  4x6

(sold)

I have always loved to do these tres petite paintings.  I don't think I will ever

tire of doing them. I intend to do a series of plein air ones this summer.

The firesmart crew made a trail down to this little body of water just outside of Faro one year.

I love the little ponds in the Yukon.

MY CANVAS CONFIDENTIAL REVEALED

Title:  Mystic Moon

Medium:  Acrylic

Size: 12x14
(sold)

This little painting was done at about 4am in the morning.  No references just pure imagination.

That's what the criteria was. Just do something spontaneous.

This is for such a good cause.  It is an artist fund for emergencies, illness etc.

Yukon Artist at Work spearheaded the effort.

All the donated paintings sold for about $100.00 each. It is a good

start to the relief fund.

PLEIN AIR PAINTING AT MAGUNDY

Title:  Lupins in Boreal Forest

Medium:  Watercolour

Size:  5x7

Glorious summer is upon us. 

I have spent most of my spare moments out of town at Magundy.

The lupins are in bloom and they are on the side of the trail so I decided to paint a few. 

I am looking forward to painting outside this summer.  There is nothing like it.  I intend to take advantage of the warmth of summer and get out of the studio.
