PAINTING OF THE MONTH - March 2010 · Mar 22, 01:29 pm

This painting is the largest single panel commission to date, at 40” x 80”. The client wanted a tall, rugged cliffface with high contrasting shadows to remind her of Ontario North. The piece was created for their condo in downtown Toronto, noting the 16 foot ceilings and expansive windows.

The first piece, “Long View” is a nice simple, medium sized triptych, commissioned by a referred client for her husband’s 50th birthday. It installs at 12” x 48”. It was inspired by the expansive views of Silver Peak, Killarney Provincial Park.

The second piece, “Towering Rock” is a substantial piece installing at 36” x 90”, commissioned by collectors who wanted something with drama and rugged boulders. We have decided to situate a tree on the left panel, which will be completed by mid-April. In the mean time, the piece is being displayed in our gallery.

PAINTING OF THE MONTH - DECEMBER 2009 · Dec 1, 04:24 pm

This painting was commissioned by a glaciologist who saw my work in Style at Home Magazine, and after some discussions about subjects, and after learning he had photos from his Antarctica Expeditions, we came up with this composition taken from his photographs.
