When the full moon is rising last night

A study of a full moon lit sky

A glimpse of the Super Moon night sky

Brandon Rideau Park

A brief moment at 2 p.m today when the sun broke out of the clouds just when I set up my easel at Rideau Park ready to paint. A surge of joy through my heart trying to translate that sense of joy and awe into a visual statement on my canvas.

A glimpse over the hedges in the morning

Full moon night sky as viewed from our door way

Our neighbour across the street

In the noon hour sunlight

A house on 13th Street Brandon

Early in the morning a look at our backyard

When the full moon is rising in the evening sky

A Warm Novemember Day on Balmoral Bay

My tribute to the fallen on Rememberance Day

A quick oil sketch from Brandon Cemetery this morning to pay tribute to all the brave men and women past and present who scarified their lives so that we can live free.
“They shall grow not old, as we that are left grow old:
Age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
We will remember them.”

For Sale, 42 Balmoral Bay Brandon Manitoba

For Sale ! 42 Balmoral Bay Brandon Manitoba.
This beautiful home on Balmoral Bay owned by Mr. John Gross is now up on the market. When I saw the for sale sign up on John's front yard, there arose a mixed feeling and emotion in me, a sense of passage of time ,and a sense of inevitable relinquishing of something that people always hold so dear to their heart. This home is also special to me personally as a painter, for over the past decade I have painted so many paintings en... plein air using this home either as my backdrop or as subject of my painting. So many times I just invited myself over to John's beautiful backyard to paint there with my portable easel seeking inspiration from John's meticulously hand crafted garden! Tomorrow, this beautiful home will be open for public view to potential buyers. Do not you want own a beautiful home so close to me as a painter who will constantly immortalize it in his paintings? If you do please hurry, for it will not be on the market very long!

Here come the trick-or-treaters on a wet wet Halloween night

A cosy home in Green Acre neighbourhood in Brandon

A window view on a beautiful autumn morning

The warm glow of street light

The warm glow of the street light on Balmoral Bay and two young figures passing by added a warm and cozy touch to what could be a bleak landscape at this time of the year.
