Distance

16" x 16" Oil on gallery wrapped canvas. Available for Purchase

This painting is simply named because the atmospheric effect of distance pleases me. Often in summer, along the Bay of Fundy you get to see these formations of broken fog rolling gently along the coastal waters. It can be sunny one moment, slightly foggy a few minutes later, sunny again, and this can carry on back and forth all day.

Storm at Brown's Beach

16" x 16" Oil on gallery wrapped canvas 1½" deep. Available for Purchase

Always admired how Turner achieved such bold atmospheric effects in his works, though I have to admit, I haven't had the opportunity yet to view a Turner firsthand. From a painter's perspective, it would be instructional in examining up close, the deft of stroke, thickness of paint, and overall richness of effect. It would go a long way in determining the exact methodology, and technique(s) employed. Whatever one can learn is all the more to add to the toolbox that one ultimately carries around within themselves - J.

Beauty on the Beach

24" x 24" Oil on canvas. Personal collection.

Did this portrait of my wife Gwen this past fall, after a relaxing, and peaceful walk together on one of St. Martins' several beaches. It was in the later part of a beautiful, sunny afternoon. We had the dogs with us, and we were all enjoying the newish, fall air, and the fresh breeze near the water.

Living in St.Martins has given me numerous opportunities to visit the Fundy Trail, and explore its many trails, beaches, waterfalls, as well as its lookout points such as at the Flower Pot Rock shown above.

Three Crows

8" x 8" Oil on canvas stretched over solid panel. Sold Collection of MaryAnne Beckwith

These three crows always feed together in our field. Always enjoyed watching crows, and sort of consider many around here as if they were friends.
