Redtail Hawk with Catch in Sugar Maple 34" x 56"
In the mid 1990's I worked as a courier. One of the places I delivered to was Hidden Lake golf course in Burlington. I brought my camera to work one day in hopes of painting this magestic Sugar Maple. Over 10 years later I pulled out the photograph and began painting it. This painting was the first one I had attempted in over 10 years. I learned a lot in this painting. It is the first one to begin my journey of preserving nature and wildlife with paint and inspired me to become a wildlife artist and sell my work.

Steppenwolf 9x12
Sold Finalist in the 26th annual Artist's magaizine Competition
Sold Finalist in the 26th annual Artist's magaizine Competition
Steppenwolf lives in Saskatchewan. She was named after the band “Steppenwolf “and the song Born to be Wild. She purred so loud as a kitten and because the first line of the song was “Get your motor running” it was a perfect suit. Steppenwolf’s motor was always running. This painting is a depiction of her lying in the sun after a good cleaning purring contently.

Cayuga Train Bridge with Blue Heron 24"x24"
Reserved Prints and Giclee's available
Having lived in Cayuga for the past 10 years, I am always fascinated with the sheer size and beauty of Cayuga’s Train Bridge. Estimates are that this bridge was first erected in and around 1901. The pillars chosen in this painting were the only two made of block stone in the water. They both had their own unique look and character. When taking reference photos, my two boys played around the base of other pillars. It is hard to imagine the scale of these pillars until my youngest son was barely taller than the height of one block. I wanted to capture this bridge in the early evening with the gentle shadows on the pillars. I also wanted to capture a scene that many have seen along the Grand River. The blue heron was the obvious choice taking flight in the evening to a favourite spot waiting for his evening catch. Something anyone who has spent time on the Grand River has admired. The original can be seen in the Municipal building in the town of Cayuga.

On Mutton Lake, near Parry Sound, My wife and I would spend a lot of time at my family’s trailer. The trailer was surrounded by day lilies. We spent many hours sitting watching this little wren flying back and forth to the nest. It was quite sunny that day, with a short passing shower.

Chickadee
During the mid 1990’s my wife’s family bought land in Bracebridge. We all would go up on weekends to help build the cottage. The landscape was particularly beautiful with friendly chickadees that kept visiting us while working throughout the days. This painting I did in for my mother. It was only 1 of 2 I did before I started painting with a career in mind, September of 2008

I always love seeing the American kestrel. He is one of Ontario’s most vibrant birds. I tried to capture the beauty in this tiny falcon that is often seen on the top of the hydro wires.
