As a lifelong resident of Newfoundland and Labrador, I look out at each day facing me and I'm amazed that I live in such a wonderful place. There can't be a better place for an artist to live!
These are just some of my Winter inspired paintings based on scenes in walking distance of where I live!

Though this was published as part of the Newfoundland Business Network newsletter in 2023, I had completely forgotten about this. Found it a few days ago in a search for my art to share ... I felt honoured all over again as though it was the first time I saw it! (A benefit of a failing memory -lol)

These are the other 4 pieces, in addition to today's "Trees by the Road" (2021) share, that were the direct result of my February 2021 night walk and became my "Clarenville at Night" series.

"Lost Pot" (2020)
13" X 9" acrylic on panel "wood grain" painting by Reilly Fitzgerald. Painted on 1/4 in. oak.

"Morning Light on a Frozen Pond" (2023) 20 X 16 acrylic on canvas painting by Reilly Fitzgerald.
A scene of Denny's Pond as seen through the trees on a frosty winter morning which I painted with Tom Thompson first in my mind. I recently discovered Thompson's "Pine Trees at Sunset" and it scared me!

You left out "THE".
How anyone of faith can put this man on a symbolic pedestal of faith and "goodness" is beyond my understanding.

Arguing over skin colour is like arguing over eye colour, arm length, ear shapes, knee knobs, ...

The paper pieces are more practical for storage compared to canvases. I would paint with more canvases if we sold more. (lol)

I use heavy paper (140lb or heavier) & tape it down to a board. My only request for Christmas this year was a new wooden board large enough to fit an 18" X 24" sheet.
I used my previous board to patch a hole in the back porch floor.(lol)
This shows my new board and below is a small piece taped down.
