autumn artwork
This autumn I am pleased to offer a new watercolour series, inspired by the gorgeous autumn harvest in Ontario. From petite pumpkin portraits to acrylic landscapes of late summer dahlia fields, I will be painting in & outdoors during this beautiful season.
As much as I enjoy summer, I love autumn. Pumpkins in the fields. The smell of warm autumn leaves in the forest. Cool and colourful. Beautiful to paint.
original watercolours
These pieces are only available as original art… not prints. You won’t find them mass produced… just down to earth, pencil and paint on paper.
mini framed pumpkin portraits, greeting cards, and mini gift cards
original acrylic
Quick and painterly, these studies are of pumpkins found at local Ontario farms. Pie pumpkins are my favourite, they are so small and often have fun curly tops left on them.
did you know that pumpkins are fruit… they are technically berries!
autumn landscapes
The Park – Autumn collection, inspired by the landscapes in Algonquin Park.

Last autumn I did pencil & watercolour studies of the pie pumpkins we bought at Ontario farms… I love how unique each one is!
care for your artwork
If you have purchased one of my pieces, I have a few tips for caring for original watercolours. Keep them out of direct sunlight (or they will fade) and display in a dry place (or they may get mildewy). If reframing, be sure the watercolours do not sit against the glass surface, as the pencil can rub off and smudge into the watercolours over time. Do not handle the watercolours with dirty fingers or it may leave oils and smudges. Other than that, enjoy!
