Reflections on the River was sketched out after a paddle in my kayak last summer. The water was glass like and the scenery along the banks of the Rideau caught my attention. I took a few pictures for reference but when I started painting it took on a life of it’s own. This painting was sketched out in acrylic paint and patiently waited for me to complete it in oil, which I did this Spring 2026. It has a calm vibe, there is one ring forming in the otherwise glass like water. The earthly colour palette of yellows, greens, umber and a little red brown compliment the bright sky with a hint of blue. This original painting is 36 × 36 inches on a stretched gallery canvas, I’ve signed the work on the front and back. Titled on the back.
See this painting at The Boathouse Cafe, 646 River Road, Kemptville Ontario. Interested in taking it home? Call or text me at 613 285 4748.
