Studies from the Lake

In this intimate collection of small oil portraits, I turn my focus to the waterfowl that grace Alberta’s lakes—mallards, pintails, loons, and more. Each study is a quiet exploration of light, color, and character, capturing the subtle beauty often overlooked in the everyday presence of these birds.
Painted on a smaller scale, these works invite the viewer to pause and appreciate the elegance of form, the shimmer of feathers, and the timeless rhythm of life along the water’s edge.
A celebration of simplicity and detail, these portraits are windows into the poetry of Alberta’s lakes.
