I love to paint images of Canada, the back roads where so few get to see the beauty that is Canada. But I also paint other items like cottage and home decor. This includes hand painted canoe paddles, mail boxes, slate, wood panels and more. What I paint on these items vary, often it is custom orders, over 500 canoe paddles later, a number of mail boxes and wall home and cottage decor.
It is a form of relaxation, self expression while helping to fulfill my desire to paint. It has been said that no artist becomes famous until after they die, I don't expect to do that for a great number of years. I don't paint to become famous anyway, it is just something I love to do.

A couple of simple layouts I have put together, they haven't been painted I use these as a guide on the surface that they would be painted on. Yes, each piece is hand painted, not printed.
This is two finished pieces, painted custom orders. One on canvas the other on board. These are just a few examples.
To quote St. Francis of Assisi, "He who works with his hands is a labourer. He who works with his hands and his head is a craftsmen. He who works with his hands, his head and his heart, is and artist.
