Sarge, Clydesdale Horse, 24x24 oil on canvas

This is Sarge. He's a Clydesdale who works as a Carriage horse in James Bay. He's a real darling. Loves to be patted and told how wonderful he is. Next to the carrots and apples it's the best part of his job.
 I did a smaller version of him. This larger one is for a show at James Bay Coffee and Books all of February. I wonder if it'll be dry enough by Sunday to hang.

Open Mike,oil 18x24

This is an underpainting of a painting I'm working on for a show at the James Bay Coffee and Books.
(pardon the glare), I see that I need to adjust the values. It helps to look at an image of the painting.
More to come.

Dallas Road Snow

Rather chilly for plain air painting but perfect for sliding. This hill is right across from the dog play area on Dallas Road. This hill is perfect for sliding.

Scrabble, oil on canvas board, 6x6

Every Tuesday is Scrabble Night at a local Coffee Shop. This is a study I did on site. It looks like a serious game of Scrabble.
