Index List

item one:	Drumheller BadLands. Click on image.		This picture began as a regular pencil sketch during a trip through the Bad Lands area of Alberta Canada. Later I digitized the sketch into Painter 4 and proceeded to digitally watercolor it. Then I imported the file into Photoshop to further enhance color value and hue. The result is as you see it, a digital watercolor. This image is ready to be printed from an iris printer directly to 140 lb water color paper. If, once printed to paper the image is in need of further color enhancement, it can be glazed with regular watercolor paints or acrylics. In any case, the final product is archive quality both in paper, ink, and final framing.
item two:	Clinic bombed in Toronto. Click on image.		This is an acrylic painting on an 8 x 10 inch canvas board. The scene is a terrorist bombing on a medical clinic in downtown Toronto Ontario.
item three:	Settlers Legacy. Click on image.		This picture began as a sketch taken of an old abandoned house alone on the prairie, a victim of grafitti and many years of neglect. I took several photos for future reference. To begin, I digitized the sketch as usual, painted using digital oils and digital pastel chalk. The stream was added (not from the original scene) and blended into the forground. While this painting should last a very long time, the original house was burned to the ground by vandals. All things turn to dust in their own time.
item four:	Toboggan Hill. Click on image.		I had a reference photo of a kid tumbling down a hill many years ago. I also had some winter scenes lying around and decided to create something new using old photos as reference. This image was sketched using a digital drawing pad. Then the drawing was painted with painter 4 using oils and pastel chalks. while this combination doesn't work well with real paints, it works very well with digital paint.
item five:	Backyard in winter. Click on image.		I was looking out the window towards the back of my home when I noticed an interesting contrast of orange-red sky and deep blue shadows on the snow. A winter scene like this is rare and I knew I had to paint it. This picture began as a photo used as reference for an acrylic painting on canvas board.
item six:	Cow pond. Click on image.		Just outside of Calgary Alberta Canada, are many small duck ponds and marshes. This is a place where foothills of the Rockies meet prairie grasslands and farming. Much wildlife come to these water holes. this one I call cowpond cause of the cows that frequent this spot on hot afternoons. But if one is quiet one will see deer and coyotes, ravens, magpies, and hawks.
item seven:	view from a room. Click on image.		A warm summer day, looking out a window on a part of the city. Kids in a raft in the creek, people walk by, heat haze, lazy summer days.
item eight:	Tom Thomson 1887 - 1917. Click on image.		The artist who's work inspired me to become an artist. Thomson painted in an area called Algonquin Provincial Park up until his mysterious death in 1917.
