March Break Up

A scene of the Yukon River this time of year. The aqua hues are amazing right now and create quite a contrast against the white ice and orangy-gold bushes at the edge of the river. Available through North End Gallery, Whitehorse, YT.

Spring Thaw at Kusuwa - SOLD

8x8 acrylic on canvas
With the warming of the weather and the lengthening of our days, winter ice is breaking up and water is begining to flow freely. There are numerous lakes nearby- like Kusuwa, where we can walk along the remnants of melting ice and snow and picture ourselves enjoying a day at the lake in the summer to come.

6x9 acrylic on canvas SOLD

A winter street scene from my "Seasons" show.

Gold Strike on the S.S. Klondike SOLD

10x20 acrylic on canvas
Driving in to town I pass by this scene. If I'm lucky, I catch the sun striking the sternwheeler as it crests above the mountains. At just the right moment a golden sparkle reflects off so many surfaces - snow, river mist, and this familiar landmark in Whitehorse. It is all I can do to keep my eyes on the road, but, sometimes I do pull over, and take time to watch yet another Yukon light show play over the land. I am never disappointed.

Legendary Prospects SOLD



This painting was many months in the making and was featured in my solo show "SEASONS" at Northend Gallery in February. Measuring 32x42 inches, this is by far the largest piece I have painted.
It is comprised of legends and images I have absorbed since living in the the Yukon. It is also a montage of how I like to play with acrylics.

Late Afternoon Ski

acrylic on canvas 18x24

So many of the winter vistas are charged with light and shadow and hues of a thousand blues. I have sought to capture some of them here, along with the sense of peace and wonder I experience when I encounter scenery such as this.

Winter Walk on the Ridge

                                           acrylic on canvas 22x28"

A larger piece for my show "Seasons". This piece was inspired by one of the many footpaths near my home. On a sunny day the winter colours are vibrant, causing the eyes to dance. I love painting snow!
