My favorite subjects are the beautiful towns, valleys, farms and vistas of the Ontario landscape. Working on location whenever I can enables me to capture the mood of the setting.
In order to retain the fresh spontaneity of the medium of watercolour I try to work quickly. My goal is to encourage the viewer to enter the painting and have their own experience.
In the past few years I have begun painting in oils, also working on location when possible. Most recently, I have been studying the techniques used by the old masters to produce paintings of high realism.
