Battle River Barn in summer

The Battle River barn in summer.
I could probably paint dozens pictures
of this barn from every angle and it
would still be a decent painting.
The old car came from Reynolds back lot -
his private collection.
Link to Reynolds Museum is found here.

Solitude

A few miles east of Edmonton this old farm building and wooden grain bins has been painted by many artists including myself. Based on a picture I took a few years ago the building looks pretty good, however in reality it is beginning to collapse and will probably not survive another winter.

High Flyers #1

High Wide and Handsome

Flying high wide and handsome, these five are heading for some farmers field to feed on grain.
They have to prepare themselves for the thousands of miles they will travel into the southern states of the U.S.

The Promise of Warm Days

Even when it's 40 or 50 below there is always the promise of a warmer season when the sun arrives.

In the high Arctic North during the long winter months the sun does not appear, only darkness 24 hours a day. But when the sun does rise above the horizon, everyone knows that warm days are close at hand.

Even Inukshuks wait for the summer sun.
