When I came upon this place on Wren Lake I knew that I wanted to paint it. The contrast between the light on the rocks and the darkness of the forest pulled me towards it. I particularly liked to paint the space between the trees.

'Autumns Bounty' acrylic 20"x30" sold
The idea for this painting started last fall when the colours were bright. I was doing a lot of dyeing with oak leaves. I walked around my property and started snapping photos. This was a combination of about 5 photos
that I used for reference. Once I started to paint it morphed into an experiment with negative shapes. It was very enjoable to paint.

Newpost Falls
18" x 24" acrylic sold
The Newpost Falls are on the newpost river in northern Ontario about 2 hours northwest of the Abitibi Canyon. This is just the top of these falls, it is about a 100' drop. It was something to see especially when I wasn't sure if there were any bear or moose around. I hope to do more paintings of the trip I made there, took tons of photos. I am hoping to get there again this summer.

Kennisis River - just below Log Chute
16" x 20" acrylic painting sold
This is the painting I was working on when the photo of me was taken. It is just below the log chute looking down stream. In the spring the place where I was able to set up is under water.
Kennisis River below Log Chute
12" x 16" acrylic painting $225This is one of the paintings I was able to do on site at the Hawk Lake log chute. It is about a 5 minute walk down river from the chute, then looking up river. A nice place, even had a bench to park all of my painting gear.
Painting at the Hawk Lake Log chute
This is me painting on site this past fall. I live in such a beautiful area it is hard to chose where to go to paint. I went with another painter, Karen Sloan (she snapped the picture). We had a great day and I was able to do 2 paintings that day.
Spillway on the Matagmi River
10" x 10" acrylic painting, $150I spent most of the past summer in northern Ontario and this is one of the places I visited. It is near the hydro dams on the Matagami River north of Kapuskasing.
