YES!  It is coming, but this painting has so much detail it's taking me awhile. A month in total. Working day and (all) night and I hope to complete it by next week.

St. John's Anglican Church, Antrim, Ontario

St.  John’s Anglican Church in Antrim. Situated at the crossroads of Old Highway 17 and the Kinburn Side Road, in the village of Antrim, St. John’s is visible for miles around. It’s long sloped black roof with its steeple and bell complement the crisp white exterior and picket fence bordering the well kept lawn and flowers. St. John’s was built in 1873 after John Wilson donated the land.

WIP

This work in progress is so close to completion! Only the small details left.

Starting Fresh!

Started work on my painting of St John's Anglican Church today while working at the Kanata Civic Art Gallery.

New 'Heritage Series' Painting Complete!

'Thompson-Perkins Mill'
15 x 30
Acrylic on Gallery Canvas

John Perkins' grist mill and Philip Thompson's saw mill were erected on this channel in 1842-50. In 1864 the buildings formed the nucleus of the Booth empire.  By the 1940s the mills were being used by the Imperial Oil Company, which had its oil tanks nearby. Like the carbide mill they were identified for future conservation and re-use as historic attractions.

Ottawans of a certain vintage will remember the Mill Restaurant, and the novelty of celebratory dinners in a heritage building. The NCC was lucky enough to secure a new tenant will a suitable name - one from the Distillery District in Toronto, The Mill St Brewery.
