Happy New Years Eve!
To end 2016, I wanted to share some painting progress on a recently completed painting. The following are portions of a 40 x 30" canvas depicting the James C. Yerxa Nature Preserve in Keswick, NB.

In this painting that I've titled Fall Floodplain, I endeavoured to try a different colour palette than any I have used before -- mostly greens tinged with browns and yellows set against reds tinged with browns and oranges. It was an interesting challenge for me in terms of both colour and composition. I visited this preserve many times and during a variety of seasons. In the end, I settled on depicting the floor of this unique floodplain at a time when it is going through a significant change in state during mid-autumn.
As was recently announced, these paintings will be shown together for the first time at the New Brunswick Museum in Saint John over the Fall of 2017. Until the opening, I will only be showing glimpses of works-in-progress. But I am very excited to see all of the works together next year, and will make sure to post about the exact dates once they are confirmed.
See you in 2017!
