One of my paintings going to Art Placement in Saskatoon for my show there this fall.

Back in the summer of 2009 when I was at the Emma Lake professional artists' workshop I spent a lot of time down at the beach looking at the lake.  I had simplified the imagery of the lake down to the bare bones in order to concentrate on colour in my paintings; but now I was challenged by the dock and the rowboats that sat there.  This was one of my first attempts to see if I could make that work for me.
