Orange Sunrise


Oil on canvas (18 x 24 inches)

Here is a painting of some clementines in a crystal bowl.  I decided to go a little abstract with the reflected light on the crystal facets and it ended up reminding me of sunrays, which inspired the title.

Vintage CGE Fan



Oil on Gessoboard (14 x 11 in)
SOLD

I spotted this great vintage Canadian General Electric fan at a huge and wonderful antiques and collectibles mall up in Barrie, Ontario.  I loved the combination of the brass coloured blades and cage against the black of the body.  Really enjoyed painting it.

Native Mask


Oil on Gesso Board (8x8 in)

I came across this beautiful native mask in a shop in Old Quebec City this summer.  The store was full of lots of interesting things.  They had several native carved masks on the wall, but this one in particular caught my eye with all its bright colours.

Sunshine Clementine


SOLD
Oil on Canvas (9x12 in)

I was passing through my kitchen one cold January day and was stopped in my tracks by the winter sun bathing these clementine beauties in an orange-golden glow and sending the crystal reflections dancing across the island counter.  The challenge of capturing the crystal and the reflected oranges made this a particularly fun painting to do.
