Edge of the old growth, Abraham Lake nature reserve. Acrylic on panel 7 x 8”, 2026. I used to love to visit this old relic forest, from a day I snowshoed into the lake and got to visit far shoreline, where there was no trail, by snowshoeing around the lake edge.

From the archives, available. October At Whitesand Lake, Tobeatic Wilderness. Acrylic on panel 11x14. What a paddle into this remote lake, it took a day to get here, skimming through river & still water and eventually into the lake its self.

Tiny works continued. Bright clear dawn on a snow covered lake edge. Showing at Argyle Fine Art. #preshrunk2026 next Friday. I enjoy making these small intimate paintings. I start with a stroke and never know where they will end up. Always inventing and problem solving, pushing into the unexplored.
