Let It Snow…Let It Snow…Let It Snow!

Well, it’s 12 days till Christmas and here in Saskatoon (and apparently in a few other places across the country), there is no snow to be found.
If you are yearning for a White Christmas, this offer might help you make that dream come true.
Here are four snowy winter scenes from the Blue Sky Series that I introduced in December of 2023. All the other siblings in the series found homes at that time.
Since the debut of the series, which was offered unframed, I have matted and mounted this quartette of beauties under glass in silver aluminum frames with hanging wires – completely ready to display on your wall.
The price for each 8” x 8” original watercolor with gouache – professionally mounted and framed – is $100 including taxes. Delivery in Saskatoon is provided free of charge. Shipping outside the city will be billed at cost.
If you are interested in adding these fresh snow scenes to your world – or gifting them to someone else – just send me a message and we will make that happen.
Let it snow…let it snow…let it snow!
BTW – it’s a challenge to photograph paintings under glass on an angle that avoids reflections. Do rest assured that all the frames are square as can be even though they may not look so in the images here.
Individual images are posted below along with their titles, so you know which one(s) to ask for.

I will be facilitating another virtual five session ‘Sketching With Ink & Watercolor’ class early next year for the U of S Community Arts program.
It will run Wednesday afternoons (1:30 – 4:30) – from January 17 through February 14, 2024.
For the first time, class registration will go live at a specific pre-determined date and time.
I’ve just been notified that time and date will be tomorrow – Thursday, November 16/2023 at 12:00 noon.
Here is the link to the program description, details and registration. Do check it out if it might be of interest. Perhaps I’ll see you in class.
How Do You Do That?

How do you do that? It’s a question that artists hear a lot when others look at their work. It seems there’s a bit of mystery around the art of putting brush to paper or canvas – especially if it’s not part of your own experience. Sometimes a bit of show and tell is the best way to shed some light on the answer to that question.
To that end, I’m sharing a time lapse video of a recent sketch – Autumn On The Doorstep– that I created in the studio. The piece took about 45 minutes to draw and paint. But through the magic of time lapse editing, I’ve shortened it down to just 5 minutes.
A voice-over narration describes a few of the tools and supplies as well as some of the choices made as the work evolved.
I hope you enjoy tagging along for the ride.

La Palette, a famed historic bistro at the corner of Rue Jacques-Callot and Rue de Seine in Paris, has a storied past as a gathering spot for art students.
It’s reported that Cezanne, Picasso and Braque were also frequent patrons.
Step inside and you will find a variety of palettes and paintings adorning the walls above and around the bar.
It’s an interesting place with tons of atmosphere. It’s also a complicated building to capture in a sketch with its varied awnings and angles. There’s just a whole lot going on in the scene.
