"One Dozen Canoes" Aug 15th acrylic commission painting

detail of 18 x 24 inch acrylic on canvas painting. A commission for the wedding photographers for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding on Aug 15th, 2015.

Sculpture?......July branch sculptures.

My solution for a privacy screen and saving money. Ran out of railing and not worth another $75.00 plus a trip to the lumber yard.  The maple branches were free and no shortage of paint.

The railing and privacy screen was inspiration for a totem of cedar branches and small logs "Painting Trees" 8 ft high........ while using up some odds and ends of spray paint from the garage that were going to the hazardous waste site.

24 x 48 inches oil on primed barnboard......a handpainted sign for my brother's organic farm in Coe Hill, Ont.

:Holy Crap! Here Comes That Really Fast Dog!" oil SOLD

Posted a  detail of this painting previously. It sold at the Annual Juried Show at the Art Gallery of Bancroft this May 2015. It was so much fun to paint....like I couldn't stop laughing or smiling at that fast dog who just loved to work with the sheep.  And the sheep were hilarious because they didn't know what was going to happen next! My inspiration came from photos I took at a highland games sheepdog event.
