"TOM'S SKETCH BOX"

10"x12.5" painted on a real sketch box.
Mixed Media
$380.00 

This was inspired by the "Northern River" painting and of course Tom.  Perhaps just coming in from a sketch or looking for where he might set up for one.
"JW Locking"

18"X24" Original Collage/Acrylic 
on Wood Panel
(Prints Available)

This is a portrait of my Grandfather who was a great tinker/inventer/business man.  He also had a passion for public speaking so its a portrait of many aspects of his life.
"MOM"

18"X24" Acrylic/Collage

This was of course a labour of love and it sits proudly above Mom's couch.  She was having a good day at someone's shower I believe (maybe mine).  Her Sister Jeanne took a photo which this painting is based from.

Christmas Day!

Christmas Card Photo Shoot

Starting to cloud up, I think it will snow for Christmas.
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas and a Peaceful and Healthy
New Year.  I hope to continue my 30 min walk a day and I encourage everyone to try it.  I would like to thank Sue Lewis for  inspiring me and  hooked me on to this .  She does a daily blog at walk30.blogspot.com.

Walk on Strong Sue & Dave!


Day 1
Christmas Card Photo Shoot

The sun came out to make this walk much more of  a pleasure.  A stiff south wind is keeping our big white stuff away.  But it will be nice to travel to Moms Christmas Day.  Hope your all having a Peaceful Christmas Eve and tucked  in your beds for a long winters nap.

day 2

Christmas photo Card Shoo

So wonderful to wake up to the snow.  Rode today at the stables 
so I only walked for about 20mins today.  It felt good, as I piled into the Christmas goodies.
  Always lovely to see the cards coming in the box!
As my friend Sue says walk on strong!
