Ghost of the Samurai
The ghost of a Samurai Warrior stands under the 'gate', yet his shadow remains strong. The shadow represents the legacy of the great Samurai Warriors.
Watercolour. Painted on 16" x 20" Arches 140 lb Cold Pressed paper. Many glazes were applied to get the fiery red/orange, which actually glows much, much nicer in real life. The colours and nuances just didn't photograph too well.

It was also accepted into the Eastern Ontario Visual Arts Association juried art show, where it received First Prize in the watercolour division. It appears in the 2007 Focus Art Calendar.

Fall @ Plaisance
This was first painted with Chinese Sumi Ink on Japanese Unryu Rice Paper. Painting on Unryu is like painting on wet Kleenex! The colour was applied using watercolour paint, then when very dry, it was mounted on Arches 140 lb. Hot Pressed paper. Approx. 16" x 20". This painting was accepted into Cornwall Regional Art Gallery's annual juried show.
Since the show, I tried something new with this painting. I varnished it! Then it was mounted on a piece of masonite board and mounted in a frame usually used for oil paintings. Looks great and there's no need to have glass in front.
