This painting is part of a recent commission that began as reference to a personal landscape. Images supplied were not easy images tio work with as a starting reference. The first round of underpainting felt mediocre at best so at my second sitting I abandoned my original plans. Turning the panel upside down I instead created a composition more in keeping with my current studio focus.

This painting was created as 1 of 4 pieces for a recent commission.
Commissioned as a corporate retirement for a long time client. The client’s partner was the first to commission a work many years ago; A bouquet of white tulips as a gift for his wife.
I continued the tulip as a motif as I felt the abundant landscape was suggestive of a career that had touched the lives of many. It also inferred a full circle moment, endings and beginnings in a world where our only constant is change.

Wonder was inspired by an ealier much larger diptych, “Wonderland”. Half of this pair shipped across the country to Halifax, Nova Scotia, while the Right hand side is off for framing for a corporate client.
Wonderland continues to inspire me. It’s funny how a fresh look at particular details of an earlier iteration on a similar theme will initiate a new compositional journey in colour.

This new pair bloomed in time for my most recent public gathering. Painting them was a reminder that a new season will eventually bloom. If your climate is like mine you might like, or need, some indor colour to counterract a spring season that is slow to start.
This pair found their way to separate homes before they were even loaded onto the website.

The original incidental greenspace inspired a pair of cousins that were painted not long after I first began experimenting with roadside “ weeds” and using black gesso in the under layers.
Often works hung on the paintwall together become a diptych or triptych. This time i wanted to play with darks and the textural detail of a wildly overgrown natural space.
While the paintings developed on the paint wall together, they remain singletons. Cousins instead of sibling
