Another painting from my archives from around 1994. This is from the University of Waterloo campus. A bright sunny,cold morning if I remember correctly.

Making Home made Maple Syrup
This is Carl , his wife was one of students back around 1998. They invited us to help make maple syrup in their back yard. They tapped their own trees and cooked the sap on this home made “cooker”. The neighbor boy cooked some weiners in the syrup as the sap boiled off….tasted delicious!! After it boiled down to maple syrup we poured it from the large black tray through cheese cloth into containers. They were so kind, they gave us some to take home. What an experience!!
Evening Sleigh Party
This was one of a series of paintings I did awhile ago.
This was one of my images used by an advertising agency to reproduce on metal cookie tins for the corporate market.

Collecting Maple Syrup
Collecting Sap the Old Way. Except for replacing the barrel for a metal tank, this hasn’t changed at all. Many Mennonites and Amish still use horses, pails and stoneboat to collect the sap.

Winter Morning
This painting was done in 2006 of a farm just outside the village of St. Jacobs, Ontario.
Winter Solitude
I almost added horse and buggies to this painting until a couple of customers in our gallery voiced that it reminded them of different areas familiar to them, so I left them out. Great feedback, eh?
