Hi. You may have noticed that I haven't posted much here lately. But I have been busy sketching and posting on another site which I call <a href="http://michaelsscroll.blogspot.ca/" target="_blank">Michael's Scroll</a>. Initially, it was just for sketches but it has evolved into the place where almost all of my artwork is posted. I hope you'll visit it.</div>

<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: "arial" , "helvetica" , sans-serif;">I
didn't want to let winter slip by without making another painting of
the Rideau Canal skateway in downtown Ottawa. The skateway is such a
beautiful icy promenade that winds its way through the city for about 10
km. It has no equivalent in the entire world. (And I'm not exaggerating
either.) You can skate on it or just take a (slippery) stroll on it.
There are warm-up cabins along the route as well as places where you can
get a hot chocolate or some food. This scene is from a pedestian
walkway overlooking the Pretoria Bridge and old Ottawa East. The trees
here have alway impressed me; they might have been growing in the same
spot when the canal was built in the 1830s! The bridge also impressed me
when I was a child - it looked like part of a castle drawbridge.
Probably kids today have the same impression.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><span style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">Last month, I posted <a href="http://michaelsscroll.blogspot.ca/2014/10/blue-sea-birch-trees-les-bouleaux-au.html" target="_blank">a watercolour sketch</a>
on my other blog (Michael's Scroll) that I made of some birch trees on the shoreline of Lac Blue Sea which
is in the Upper Gatineau Valley (Quebec). I thought that the scene might
make a good subject to paint in oils and I set out on this project.
While working on it, I became very conscious of the differences in
expression between watercolour and oil paintings. Each medium allows you
to create in different manners - oils being more flexible, more open to
making changes and corrections, but with very long drying times; and
watercolours being extremely portable and fast-drying but almost
unforgiving of mistakes. Both are great modes of expression but the
final products can be very different as you may notice.</span></span></div>

Monet's gardens in Giverny are fascinating. I especially enjoyed the
water garden with the stream flowing through it, and all of the
different plants and trees growing there - bamboo, willows, ferns, and
of course the waterlilies. The day I visited it, there was a man in a
boat who was removing some aquatic plants. I thought that it made a good
subject for a painting.</span></span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-size: large;">This
painting has been in preparation for some time. I like to reflect on a
composition as I'm 'building' it step by step. Its a sort of meditation,
I guess. I began by creating a rough watercolour sketch to have a
better understanding of the proportions and layout of the canvas. I then
used an underpainting with dark greyish tones and built up the
subsequent layers slowly. I decided to simplify the composition and
declined to include a lot of the items that were in my reference
photographs. I also kept the palette fairly small which gives it an
almost monochrome effect. Voilà!</span></div>

Last May when I was on the lake, I took several reference photos of
cottages on the shoreline as possible subjects for paintings. Its a time
of the year when greens are at their height and the water is clear and
vibrant. Some of the docks have yet to be installed because of the high
water levels after the spring runoff. This season creates a lot of
lovely scenes which are wonderful to use as backdrops for paintings.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is a sketch of my cottage that I drew this summer. Its nestled in a
forest looking over a small bay on a northern Quebec lake. At first, I only intended to include this picture in my sketch blog - Michael's Scroll - but then I wondered, 'When does a sketch become a painting?' If we consider that a sketch is a quick rendering, then this doesn't qualify since it took me several sessions to complete. Anyway, I thought that this would be a nice addition to the series I've posted here on cottages.</div>

In the good old days, people could build their cabins wherever they
wanted on the lake. Building plans were sketchy and sometimes risky. (Where do I place the septic tank?) Now, you can't even cut your grass within 50 feet
(15 m) of the shoreline! Things have come a long way. So when you see a
cabin that's perched over the water, you know that its been
'grandfathered'.</div>

This painting started as a black and white sketch, which can still be viewed on my drawing blog http://michaelsscroll.blogspot.com/ </div>

The East Block is part of the parliamentary buildings in Ottawa. This beautiful building was build in 1866 and was intitially where the entire public service for Canada was located. Times have changed. This scene is set in the springtime when the lilacs are blossoming and everyone rejoices in the riot of colour. </div>

When I drive up the Gatineau Valley from Ottawa-Gatineau, I see plenty of lovely landscapes to admire. I like to slow down a little so that I can appreciate some of them. This painting is of a farmhouse off Highway 105 near Farrellton, Quebec. The fields around it change colour with the season as do the hills in the background.<br />

Quand je conduis dans la Vallé-de-la-Gatineau d'Ottawa-Gatineau, je vois beaucoup de beaux paysages à admirer. Je tiens à ralentir un peu afin que je puisse apprécier certains d'entre eux. Ce tableau est d'un ferme près de autoroute 105 à Farrellton, Québec. Les champs autour de lui changent de couleur avec la saison comme les collines en arrière.<br />

There's nothing more enjoyable than sitting on the dock and watching the sun as it slowly sets over the bay. The whole scene becomes animated as tree frogs and birds begin their nocturnal singing and the fishermen troll for a catch. The temperature begins to fall slightly and a light mist rises over the water. A loon calls out and the enchantment is complete. <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br />

The ice melted on the lake last week. Would you believe it - there was someone on the water with their peddle boat a few days later! Admittedly, the weather was nice ... much more pleasant than the weather portrayed in this painting. When the west wind blows down the bay in early April on an overcast day, it can be very powerful and awe-inspiring. It seems that all the colours are absorbed by the cold winds. <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br />

La semaine passé, la glace a fondu sur le lac. Le croiriez-vous - il y avait quelqu'un sur l'eau avec leur pédalo quelques jours plus tard! J'avoue que le temps était beau ... beaucoup plus agréable que le temps représenté dans ce tableau. Quand le vent soufle de l'ouest dans le baie au début d'avril, il peut être très puissant et inspirant. Il semble que toutes les couleurs sont absorbées par les vents froids.<br />

Another skating season on the Rideau Canal in Ottawa is now but a memory. Oh, but what a memory! This winter the temperature was 4 C higher than normal with 20% less snowfall - ideal conditions for skating. The scene I painted was at one of the entrances to the canal near the University of Ottawa, just next to a pedestrian bridge. <span style="font-style: italic;"> </span><br />

Une autre saison de patinage sur le Canal Rideau à Ottawa est maintenant plus qu'un souvenir. Mais quel souvenir! Cette hiver, la température était de 4 C plus élevée que la normale avec des chutes de neige 20 p.c. de moins - des conditions idéales pour le patinage. La scène de cette peinture est situé à l'une des entrées du canal près de l'Université d'Ottawa, juste à côté d'un pont pour piétons.<br />
