The Horned Dorset

5"X7"  Acrylic on board
The Horned Dorset is the only five star hotel in the Caribbean, or so they claim. It certainly oozes understated luxury. I had the pleasure of lunching there during my recent visit to Puerto Rico.

Pink and White House

This house overlooks Pools Beach in Puntas. A choice location.

The Aqua House

At last I am working on some Puerto Rico pictures. This house is in Rincon, I love the colour.

March

10"X20" Oil on canvas

I decided to call this one done. I am not doing very much painting  these days, too busy with other things.

I am going back to Puerto Rico next week, maybe I will find inspiration there again.

Niagara Winter Series #1

10"X20"  Oil on canvas
I am starting a new series, not sure how far I will get. I seem to have the attention span of a flea and abandon most of my series after about three paintings.

I thought that this format would work well for the unremittingly flat landscape around here.

This image would be fom somewhere around East-West Line and the Stone Road, around five in the afternoon in late January or February. I took some liberties with the original photo, which I took some a few years ago.

Masterworks 3

I haven't been painting much recently (although I am working on a slightly larger piece which I will post when it is finished), so I thought I would post some sketches.
Today I went to a Niagara Symphony concert at Brock. One of the pieces was the Aaron Copeland clarinet concerto. Zoltan Kalman was the soloist and the guest conductor was Earl Stafford. I love sketching musicians, although they can be a challenge.

Townline

5"X7"  Oil on board
I usually make a point of keeping my paintings seasonal but I have been singularly uninspired by this season so far. I prepared this image some time ago but didn't develop it for some reason. The reference was taken in September on a misty morning in Niagara-on-the-Lake. I am hoping it will jump-start my creative process.
