A new year

It seems I start a lot of posts with “I’ve been a bit remiss lately.” However, with the new year, I figured I should get around to posting more often.

First, Happy New Year, all.

I’ve had a busy year. I have a play almost finished, although I did want to submit it to a one-act play competition but did not get around to finishing it before the submission deadline. I did finish 379 paintings this year, and only missed three days: February 21, July 23, and December 25.

I have to get a little busy since I have a solo exhibit in April, It will be paintings of the Kluane Ranges in Winter.

I tried to pick my 10 favourite paintings of the year, but I settled for 10 I liked more than others.

Early Morning, Dezadeash Lake
Hunter’s Moon
The Jacquot Brothers Ice House, Kluane Lake
King’s Throne
The Lake House
Winter Spruces
Sun Rays
The Wire Fence
Winter Night
Northern Sky, Sheep Mountain
Last painting of 2023

And, here is the first painting of 2024.

Embracing winter

When painting, I have made it a point to avoid doing winter scenes. I didn’t get a handle on painting the winter at first. And, while I don’t hate the season, per se, it harder to deal with the pandemic a bit more than it is in the mid-summer and who doesn’t want to think more of summer.

But, I have decided to jump into the winter scene, so to speak, in the last while. I have made an effort concentrate on winter scenes lately and am trying to put together a small show of winter paintings. Here are some of the winter scenes from the last two months.

Three of these are not Yukon/BC/Alaska scenes. One is loosely based on a tutorial from my Facebook painting group (Art by Paul Clark ) and two others are based on photos posted as challenges from the same group and I don’t know exactly where in the UK they’re from.

More paintings of the day

I have to admit that the idea of doing a small painting a day during the COVID lock down has lasted longer than I imagined. I asked myself how much longer I’d be able to do it at about the twentieth. A while ago, I did the 100th and thought that was a milestone. Now, I’m currently at 221.

So here are a few more of the paintings of the day.

Atlin Mountain.
Watercolour on paper, 5×7.

A few more paintings

I’ll throw up two more paintings. The first came out quite well. The second hasn’t left me happy. I’ll probably revisit that one at another time.

Mount Haldane.
White Pass Summit.
