Cowan Farm
Cowan Place, watercolor
The painting makes the house look like it is possibly abandoned. As a matter of fact a reviewer once wrote about this painting describing the house as "lying on its dying embers." The owners bought the painting and take great delight in quoting the review to people who see the work.

Early Light, watercolor
Another view of the house above after a light snowfall. The large tree to the right is now gone and the hillside in the background is simplified and changed for compositional reasons. This piece was almost titled Blue Curtain for the color of the curtain in the upstairs window.

The silhouette of a horse in the barn. The view in the painting "10-10-10" would be looking at the end of the barn from the right side.

Jack Pine, drybrush watercolor
A lone Jack pine standing at the end of a fence line on the hill behind the house. The pine had sheltered the area under its branches and there was a beautiful carpet of pine needles there.

Snow Laden, watercolor
A row of Jack pines along the fence line going up the hillside behind the house. This composition makes a strong diagonal statement - the trees marching up the hill almost like soldiers.
