Thursday, February 9th, 2023
First Time in the Garden, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. The images below are three phases of the work in progress. I liked the garden details but chose to blur some of them at the edges in order to keep the emphasis on the chick.

North Saskatchewan River
Monday, July 25th, 2022
After The Rain, North Saskatchewan River and Canola fields near the Petrofka Bridge and Blaine Lake, Saskatchewan.
18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper, 27H x 33W” framed size.
Driving north to the Petrofka Bridge, about 60 km from Saskatoon, the land is completely flat. The occasional hills in this area are anomalies, partially created by the North Saskatchewan River cutting through canola farmlands. The river is glacier-fed, running through Edmonton AB, joining with the South Saskatchewan River, and eventually emptying into Hudson’s Bay 1287 kms (800 miles) away.

Double Daisies
Friday, July 15th, 2022
Double Daisies, 18H x 24W inches soft pastels on paper. I look forward to these blooming every year. They’re planted as a group only in one area of the property so they can be fully appreciated. They wilt in the hot sun, but in a cool morning breeze they shake like pom-poms, waving in and out of their own shadows.
