Northern Ontario CANADA This page features some of my paintings of northern Ontario. I have these in the travel section of my website, although they are done of the area around my hometown of Atikokan where I live part of the year. What these paintings do share with the travel paintings is that they are "journal paintings", paintings that are fostered  by my desire to capture and anchor a certain memory firmly in my mind, and they are paintings that I do not sell. I am happy to have this opportunity to share them with you on this website.

Orange Leaves Autumn in northern Ontario is a poignant time because the bright surprises of colour herald the cold winter season which will be quick, on the heels of the flaming leaves.

Sedgewick Lake On a canoe trip, after a day of paddling, I painted this as the sun was setting for the day.

Black Spruce I couldn't really pick my favourite tree, but I do feel that the black spruce is often an overlooked gem.

Reflecting Water Lily I painted this quiet scene on the shores of Mud Lake, which is situatied on the very outskirts of Atikokan. In lily season, this shallow lake is covered in these exquisite flowers.

Grey Trout Lake Camping trips always brought me to the pristine and jewel-like corners of northern Ontario.

Along the Shore of Kemuel Lake Close to town is a little lake to which you can go if you only have time for a short outing. I spent an August afternoon there painting the water lilies along the shore.
