Deer Tracks 10"x7" watercolour

Tracks in the snow by an icy stream found on an early morning trek.

Between a waterfront home and a public pool; the water rushes to the basin.

Grabbing a quick refreshing drink of cold, cold water before she dashes off.

A noise: freezes her like a sculpture, a deer disappears like a memory.

Light Jogger- 7"x10' watercolour

The undulating line of a wire fence, and path drawing to follow.

Morning light lights dogwood and vines in oranges and burgundy.

Blue sky and trees reflected in puddles and ice as runner passes.

Wavy, fluctuating, pulsating shadows cast over ground and snow of trail.

Swan Dines 7"x10" watercolour

Snow and ice diamond on simmering blue water.

A sun lit vessel of food is lowered and presented.

Gliding over for a regal inspection the swan eats.

Behind floating a wharf, sea wall, log and tree branch.

As The Crow Flies 10"x7" watercolour

A crow flies gliding, wings out stretched reaching.

Deep rich black against light morning backdrop.

Wistful clouds blush pale sky yellow kisses horizon.

Roofs and snow sparkle nestled across on far shore.

River Mocha 10"x7" watercolour

A mocha muddy torrent swiftly racing by.

Run off from melting and rain flooding in surging flow.

Lined by solid shore, rocks immobile in contrast.

Gull perches like sentry calm and stoic.

Breaking Ice 10"x7" watercolour

Breaking ice of a late winter thaw cracking and thundering.

Slab patterning an abstract checker board design over expanse.

Far shore reflected as low clouds nibble at edges.

The giant awakes from a deep, deep, sleep.

Twilight Crows-10"x7" watercolour

Over the basin twilight sky of gold, orange, blue, and mauve.

Caws, crackles and cries crows call to loudly gather together.

Appearing from nowhere toward the setting sun they darken.

Blackening evening in Bedford, drawing night covers over town.

Basin Sky-10"x7" watercolour

There is a tangle of dogwood, weeds and choke cherry vines bordering lane.

Sun bright glow radiates past clouds that simmers on steel water.

Frozen basin with fresh fallen snow held in place by shore, rock and land.

Off in the distance two cities; Dartmouth and Halifax tied with a bridge.

Winter Orchid-10"x7" watercolour

Reaching yearning orchid flowers and leaves call for Spring.

Colours of warmth opened in pink and green of earth grown life.

Outside bleak and cold empty white covered.

A hawk flies with a catch and light catches, morning sun illuminating all.
