More favourite things combined in one artwork: my favourite local butterfly, the Giant Swallowtail (Papilio cresphontes), and my favourite colour in the background with some shimmering effects. I am so happy to see many of these beautiful butterflies in our area this summer, and I found a specimen in mint condition, which was a big help in creating this painting. #Papiliocresphontes #butterflyart #bugpainter #soloshow #fineart #canadianartist🇨🇦 ...

Summer inspired me to paint this floral triangular triptych. Three panels with an Orange Day-lily. Something different, something fun. #ilovetopaint #1000islands #oilpainter #orangedaylily #triptych #flowers #summertime #passion #originalart ...

This weekend, I could finally photograph the Eastern Amberwing Dragonfly (Perithemis tenera). I have been looking for these for six years and was delighted to find (and photograph) both a male (image 1) and a female. They are beautiful creatures, and I am already looking forward to creating paintings showing the lovely nuances of their orange/amber-coloured wings. #amberwing #dragonfly #easternamberwing #insectphoto #macrophotography #referencematerial #Perithemistenera #1000Islands #StLawrenceRiver #beautifulnature ...

It was another glorious weekend in the 1000 Islands Region. How did you enjoy the lovely weather? This still-life painting is inspired by boating on the mighty St. Lawerence River, and it is called "Cocktail Speed". It will be on display during my solo show at the @oconnorgallery, for the whole month of September. #boating #StLawrenceRiver #1000Islands #realism #stillife #oilpainting #contemporaryart #fineart #gananoque #internationalrift #1000islandsbridge ...

If you reside in the 1000 Islands Region, you`ve likely encountered numerous Canadian Tiger Swallowtails gracing the area. It`s delightful to witness these beautiful butterflies in abundance. To add a touch of festivity to the skies, I presented one with vibrant soap bubbles, creating a truly joyous spectacle. #soapbubbles #oilpaint #squarefoot #originalart #Papiliocanadensis #insectart #butterfly #colourful #happyart #nature #1000Islands ...

There is something different on my easel this week. A playful approach to three rascals (they live in my backyard) and two gumball dispensers I recently saw at a local business. #workinprogress #happycolours #fantasypainting #bubblegumthieves #redsquirrels #babysquirrels #oilonpanel #oilpainter ...

The weather has been lovely these past couple of weeks, and it was perfect for capturing new reference material for my insect-themed art. Yesterday, I found many beautiful dragonflies, like this female Racket-tailed Emerald (Dorocordulia libera) in Photo 1 and the Common Baskettail (Epitheca cynosura ) in Photo 2. I am hoping to find many more in the weeks to come. #insectphotographyt #insectart #referencematerial #1000Islands #beautifulnature #brockville #odonata #dragonflies #macrophotography ...
