About Me

My photo
Angus, Ontario, Canada
I am a Canadian artist, who has been known to paint realistic wildlife and abstract paintings. Most of my paintings and ideas are inspired by nature. I spend most of my time in the northern wilds of Canada. When looking at trees I tend to see people in their shapes. On an average day I will sit and imagine how an old tree might be thinking in the way it has shaped itself over time. Some of my paintings are a result of these imaginings.

Paint out.


I drove to Copeland Forest yesterday to go on the Barrie Art Clubs monday paintout. Every monday the club arranges different locations to paint/sketch/photograph. I usually bring my camera and sketch book. This monday I was observing one of my friends painting techniques (I want to learn it). When I heard something behind me and I saw a baby porcupine. I scrambled to get my camera out, but only got a butt shot.. So on our way out I remembered that porcupines like to climb trees. Sure enough the little rascal had climbed a tree right next to us and had been watching us all paint. I managed to get a few shots, but this is the one that turned out the best I think.
