From the vantage point of the Sun Life parking garage, I took a series of photos that were the references for this painting of the construction of the Bauer Lofts in Uptown Waterloo. Another of the group of pieces created for Rogers T.V. Cable 20, it is the most industrial subject of that series.

The Rogers series, titled My View, is a group of diverse subjects. My attempt was to show my approach to painting any subject.

I decided to focus on the workers rather than the construction and the equipment in this painting of the creation of the Balsillie School in Waterloo.

This is a view from the top of CIGI which is right next door to the Balsillie School. The large digger, yellow against the snow of the construction site, is the feature of this piece.

This is a loosely handled rendition of one of the largest dairy farms in Canada. Located in the Elmira/Floradale area of Ontario, in the heart of Mennonite country, this farm is a tribute to foresight and hard work. On this farm 162 cows are milked three times a day and have produced award winning results. Coopon Flora is in seventh position overall for Holstein operations in Canada, due to a balanced selection for high production and long-lasting type, as well as the exceptional care and management expertise provided by Henk and Betina Schuurmans and family.

Any time of the year is a treat to savour the prettiness of Purcell's Cove. This spring view focuses on a bright red fishing shack but frankly by turning my gaze to the right or left reveals another set of patterns that delight me. Perhaps some of the appeal of this place is that it fulfills every romantic notion of this landlubber. I am reminded of a theatre revue that I saw in Britain from the stage show, Promises, Promises. The newspaper columnist simply wrote, "Fulfilled, Fulfilled".

Portuguese Cove is rather small and not well protected from the open water. Just down highway #349 from Purcell's Cove, this tiny bite out of the Nova Scotia shore is just one of the pearls in the necklace of jewel-like fishing harbours. This is the home to Lady Di, the boat that I painted here.
