Congratulations to Paint the Town Winners
Ray McNeice ~ April winner "Colour Me GREEN"
A morning walk through Memorial Park in Stouffville in the early summer was the genesis of this watercolour. The trees were in early leaf, there was a morning glow over the new dandelion crop and a young lad was perched on the railing of the small wooden bridge over the Creek. What more inspiration do you need?
This was painted as a 10" x 14" watercolour on Arches cold-pressed paper. See this and others at www.back2backfineart.com

Artwork HERE
Thank you for providing a platform that showcases artwork of Ontario Artists, and for keeping us inspired and motivated to paint during these crazy times. The Red Shoes, I painted after taking a lot of pictures of items that participants brought into a class I was participating; a watercolour class in Clarington with Hi-Sook Barker. I liked the way the light shone on the shoes and the shadows casted. https://jcwatercolour.wordpress.com
Lynne Vegter ~ January, 2022
"What winter Means to Me"
I did this painting last winter after photographing a heavy snowfall on the trail we made through the woods to the bay at the top end of Weslemkoon lake where we are very lucky to live now since 2016. It is a 16x20 oil on canvas and presently hanging in the Art Gallery of Bancroft. In the woods on our trail I’m constantly struck by winter colours and how defined shadows become soft shapes creating almost an alien landscape. I do take hundreds of photographs to draw inspiration for paintings like this and will be doing a winter series.
