Stewart Farm, Maynooth, Ontario

A painting I did for my mother's 75th birthday. This was the barn at the old farm where she was born and raised. I don't remember it completely and missed a few small details, but the emotion is there and I'm glad I was able to capture that somewhat. Would have liked to have taken more time with this one, but she was delighted and that makes me happy. Should be placing a lot more up on this blog soon. I have a lot of work to do in the next three weeks. :)

Lookout Point, Eagle's Nest, Bancroft, ON

This was a much larger undertaking than I had originally imagined. I wanted to do something unique for my father for Christmas and since he had requested not to be given very much appreciated, but cluttersome "dust collectors", I decided a painting of his hometown would be a better alternative to a gift card. The mixing of colours just about drove me crazy, but the end result was worth it, I think. I chose the autumn as it is not only my favourtie season, but the number of trees lining the side of the mountain, are more easily observed in full fall colours.
