These paintings are a continuation of my series on Ontario wildlife.
I paint on top of Ontario landscapes photos that are mounted on wooden panels. I tried to create a slightly different perspective of the animal in it's natural environment.
I'm interested in creating a haunting mood with these paintings.
"One Night At A Time" acrylic and collage on wooden panel 2 x 2'
These pieces were specifically painted for people or companies who wanted a painting to be more personal.
For example in "The Legacy" painted for a family of musicians; I asked for a picture of everything that meant something to them. Pieces of music, pictures and shows were incorporated in the piece. The larger figures are that of the grand-parents.
I have also been asked to do pieces for peoples cottages and anniversaries incorporating important pictures of family members and memories.

We know the issues of our environment are crucial.
And one of our many problems is human development erasing animal's habitats and therefore threatening the survival of many species.
I thought it would be interesting to take this idea of the world getting smaller to the limit. By creating new architecture from photos of buildings from different cultures and adding a species of animal that does not belong,
I hope to create ( if not a realistic) a thought provoking effect.
