This 20 x 44” Acrylic Painting is sealed in Resin on a wood canvas board. The original concept is taken from a rough pencil sketch where the past, on the left in Black and White, proceeds to the present in the middle and then going to the Future on the Right. Individual on the River are in their own way making their way through their journey of life.

Three 24" x 48" panels. Acrylic on Triptych Gallery Canvas. We collect information in stages. A first glance at a fall forest you notice groups of colours, and closer observation yields a multitude of hues of each colour, different shades juggling for prominence. This is how Canadian Diversity was painted; in stages and with closer inspection more detail and texture and if you search you will find almost 2 dozen figures in the painting, some large, or abstract and some quite small. Our Canadian Forests in the Fall really appealed to me as a metaphor for all the different races, nationalities, religions and political groups that compose the diversity of our Canadian Landscape.

This is one of a very popular series of paintings entitled "First Colours" The progression of paintings has slowly evolved into abstract representation of Fall's First Colours here in Canada. This piece is an all wood "painting" It has a Wood painting base, with the mounted pieces (leaves) are the shims used found in canvas packages to tighten the surface. After collecting a bag of them I began gluing them in place, with some turned on their sides to give an enhanced 3D effect. Framed 24 x 24" Acrylic/wood
