Pictures came before words. Depicting animals in art is nothing new, in fact it dates back over 17,000 years to the Lascaux caves. So what keeps me returning to animals as my subject? It’s the challenge of accurately depicting detail and texture of coats, feathers, skin and equipment in pricise glazed layers of pigments, without overworking a subject.

The Bend

FCA Toronto celebrated Spring Thaw from March 17 to April 16 2022

About The Bend. My Studio is located at the top of the hill above the East Branch of Toronto’s Don River. While on a hike along the river I walked out on a sand bar just upstream for 4” x 6” pencil crayon, field sketch to capture the sun sparking through the emerging weeping and black willow leaves at the Bend.

Back in the studio I completed this 12” x 9” watercolour with a dancing square brush.
