About the Work:
‘DUSK TO DAWN; NOT DARKNESS’ is a selection of nocturne work depicting low light scenes and night scenes within walking distance of my home and elsewhere in Canada and around the world. Water and sky are major elements. I paint what I see with oil or acrylic on canvas and make representational art and realism-like art. Compositions are derived from sketches, memories, photographs and imagination.
