Southern Ontario Landscape Paintings

Growing up in the KW area our family often did day trips to various parks and trails in and around Kitchener. These were my first experiences connecting with nature. We often lived in new suburbs which afforded us kids many opportunities to explore nearby creeks and forests often on our bikes.

Today, I continue to explore Southern Ontario from Tobermory to London, from Niagara to Barrie. I'm known to drive 3 or more hours; paint onsite for a few hours then drive home.

These pieces presented here are the results of my adventures and memories of the landscapes of Southern Ontario. I'm confident you'll find your own memories of day trips, picnics and local hikes tucked into these canvases.

Occasionally a call for art will align with my own art practice. In this instance the Homer Watson House & Gallery in my hometown of Kitchener was hosting an exhibition of work featuring the many views of the Grand River. This river featured prominently in my youth and I was excited to have this opportunity.

I created sketches at 3 locations along the Grand, in Paris and Caledonia. The scene I selected from my outdoor studies and sketches was the view from the dam in Paris. This was early September and the colour was just beginning to glow on the trees. I echoed the colour of the leaves in the bridge making it part of nature.

This stunning early autumn palette will light up any room. A treasured piece for the fisherman, canoeist and nature lover.

The on-site sketches are also available in the Drawings and Sketches section of this site.

This original painting is 16” high and 40” wide with a depth of 1.5”. The artwork wraps halfway around the edges which are then finished in black. This provides a clean, finished, high-end look and makes the work ready to display without the need for a frame.

One of the things I enjoy about winter is going on an early morning hike after a snowfall. The snow is fresh and the sunlight glistens on the tiny ice crystals. Created using a friends reference photo of a beautiful cedar along a sunlit trail this painting evokes quiet mornings hushed by the softness of snow.

The beautiful cheery red and blue palette is reminiscent of the holiday season.

This original painting is 20” high and 20” wide with a low profile depth of .75”. The artwork wraps around the edges. This provides a clean, finished, high-end look and makes the work ready to display without the need for a frame.

Painted en plein air (outdoors on location), James North is one of a few paintings I have done that are not directly in a nature-based environment. James Street North is a prominent feature of Hamilton Ontario. Its a street that features history, culture and art in the city. This viewpoint is looking north while standing in front of the Cathedral sidewalk. The trees dominate the scene lending softness to the cold buildings.

This ethereal scene in lavenders and blues is an expressive piece for anyone who lives in the city and loves nature.
