Here is a 17x13" watercolour/gouache of my brother's dog Willow looking anxiously at his owner heading down the shoreline to pick up a motor.  Yes Willow, he's coming back.

Pijitawakik Bay

A quick watercolour/gouache painting.  The shorlines are stunning on this bay just off of lake Nipigon.  I would love to explore more of this bay.  It's a small 8.5" x 11"

AVAILABLE

Here's another quick watercolour depicting the shores of Lake Nipigon.  Taken from the bay in MacDiarmid Ontario while out on a cruise in my cousin Mishy's boat.  Hope you like it.

AVAILABLE

Here is a quick watercolour I did today.  I was out yesterday morning taking reference photos of Junior Rockies, located here in Geraldton Ontario. I wanted to keep things fast and fresh in order to try not to overwork things too much.  Painting measures 10 by 20 inches.

Bozidar

NOT AVAILABLE

Finally finished this painting commemorating my dear friend Bozidar who sadly passed away Oct 2011.  I hope he likes it.

On the Easel

Here is an update of what I have been working on.  The large painting is the one I am concentrating on the most.  The bottom left is a painting of my Godfather Eugene and is being done in gouache.  The one to the right is of my sister Bernadette and is being done in oil.  

Oil Painting - Bozidar

This is a painting I am currently working on.  I want to try to finish this prior to Mid October.  This marks the one year passing of this influential man in my life.  I will do my best to finish, considering the size of this portrait.

My mother

NOT AVAILABLE

This is a painting of my mom.  It depicts a moment in time where she as a young child would rely on her imagination to keep herself entertained.  These little playful beings would often perform for her as if to simulate a circus atmosphere, much to the pleasure of the little girl, my mom.  Love you mom.

Old Trees

AVAILABLE

This Painting was done a few years back.  A bit of a departure from my interests at the time.  I came across it today and decided to post it.  Done in Acrylic. 

On the go. In Works. On the easel.

Just a quick update to assure you that I am doing some painting.  I have a few more on the go but these two are the ones I would like to finish soon.  The one to the left is done in casein and is my first attempt at the medium.  I am painting on 140 cold press watercolour paper.  The next is a larger oil painting (5' tall) and is a theme I have ongoing in my mind.  Hopefully these two will be done in the near future.

Bozidar Acrylic Painting

NOT AVAILABLE

Here is a 16" x 10" Acrylic painting. I finally decided it was time to finish it. I consider it my first serious attempt at an Acrylic Portrait.

Work In Progress

Just wanted to keep this blog active. It's been some time since I have added any work. These are a couple of Acrylic Paintings I have been working on. I haven't used acrylic often but I wanted to explore the medium more in depth. In the past I had given up on acrylic and always ended up painting oil over it, but this time I have decided to stick it out and not give up. I will post the finished paintings soon.

The Future (Life's Cycle)

AVAILABLE

Here is a painting I just finished. Once i figure out the Title I can comment a bit more on this. All I can say this is oil on canvas measuring 20" X 24" and it was fun to do.

Granny, Ian & the Chews

NOT AVAILABLE

A painting of my granny done in Alkyd along with a painting of my cousin Ian done in watercolour and a painting of the "Chews" (a Commissioned Portrait) done in oil

Self Portrait & Reaching Hope

NOT AVAILABLE

Here are 2 Oil Paintings I completed about 6 years ago. Not really too much to say about them other than they were meant to be interpreted by the viewer rather than have any specific meaning.

Bozidar Watercolour

I just wanted to do a quick watercolour painting for practice.  I may do some more work on this and if I do I will replace this image.

Lennox and Vivian

NOT AVAILABLE

Finished this painting of my nephew Lennox and his mom (my Sister Vivian) a couple years ago. I've been meaning to give it to my sister and nephew, however I keep thinking I want to display it somewhere prior to handing it over to them.
