Framed Minis - original 5x7 acrylic paintings in solid wood frames

5x7 acrylic on birch and framed in solid wood Poplar frame.

Inspired by the quiet moments soaking in the calm of the lakes around my home in Muskoka, Ontario. This Canadian lake painting is a reminder of summer days enjoying the sun and the time to just "do nothing". 

Copper, my son and I often go walking through the paths around our home in Muskoka.  Whatever the season, the towering pines always melt away the stress of the day.  Bring the forest home with this Ontario landscape painting.

This charming 5x7" original acrylic painting is held in a handcrafted solid wood frame, with a small space between the painting and the frame to give the appearance that it is floating within the frame.

In Canada, we learn to embrace every season, especially if you love the outdoors like my family and I do!  So when the field near our home flooded and then turned to ice my boys and I strapped on our skates and embraced the free rink that old man winter had provided.  This painting was inspired by that Canadian winter day with my boys.

Gather by the lakeside and enjoy the crisp air of Ontario's cottage country.  Whether you have a cottage here, or just come for a weekend, enjoy the memories by taking a little piece of cottage country home with you with this lake painting.

I get up early and have my morning coffee just so that I can watch the sun as it rises through the tall forest pine trees outside my window.   Light plays through the branches as I sip on my morning coffee and slowly prepare for the day.  I never tire of these Muskoka sunrises and the fantastic light show every morning, something I tried to capture in this painting.

Some of the most glorious morning walks that I enjoy are when the Muskoka snows are melting and I can once again smell the scent of fresh earth. Sunlight filters through this spring forest painting with pinks, yellows, and muted greenery sprouting from beneath the melting snow.
