My first painting of 2025 features a close-up view of stones on the beach at Middle Cove in Newfoundland. It’s an almost surrealistic but natural scene.

My  last painting for 2024 is a colorful waterfront scene from the town of Bay Roberts in Newfoundland, which features a boat named Bob’n Around.

My newest painting shows a view of the Atlantic Ocean from the Skerwink Trail near Port Rexton, Newfoundland.

My latest painting depicts a colorful backyard scene of decaying elements of the past, including an overturned boat and a rusting double-flywheel stationary engine, amidst stacks of firewood and greenery.

It was a sunny Labor Day weekend three weeks ago when we visited Quidi Vidi Gut, and in a fast turnaround, I already have a new painting done. This is unusual because I more often work from photos that I took months to years previously.

My latest painting combines Atlantic puffins and humpback whales in one ocean image.

My newest painting “Towering View” is from the fresher perspective of looking up from the base of a very tall beech tree in Stanley Park, Vancouver.

My latest painting features sea stacks and an ocean view from the Skerwink Trail on the Bonavista Peninsula in Newfoundland.

This scene is from St. Vincent’s Beach in Newfoundland, where it’s possible to stand on the shore and see pods of humpback whales cavorting about. They come in very close because the water becomes ocean-deep within a few meters of the shoreline.

Another in my series of rock musicians performing live, this new painting features Mick Jagger and Keith Richards of The Rolling Stones, as they were in 2003. I’ll be seeing them in concert later this year and couldn’t resist doing a painting of them in advance.
