Foxes live in the most unexpected places - on a railway line in England; on an island in Friday Harbor, Washington State - I've seen throughout the years. They look familiar even though they're not next door.

Green Dinghy

Price $400 Canadian email ronjbw@gmail dot com

Boats are the passion I sailed them for nigh on three years as a young man, 
I still love the shapes, almost as wonderful as a female figure in my opinion.

Frog on green grass 2022


Frog on green grass

Acrylic 4" x 6" $220 Canadian dollars 

email ronjbw@gmail dot com

Studio paint - tubes and bottles, loose and spontaneous, no problem - see how fluid the frog looks,
and the colors are right here in my taboret here in my studio, no searching!

I relax when I can find my paints at my fingertips - they are kept right next to me in my desk of drawers  - what I call my TABORET. Usually, I keep a set of oils in a separate box for painting outside, en Plein air. This time the acrylic paints are right next to me. Great fun,

Winter cover - moonlight bay oil 50cm x 70cm. Oils on stretched canvas. CLICK TO ENLARGE



Prudent owners cover the innards during winter and hibernate, others (like the boat on the right) keep living aboard no matter the weather! Available.

 

South Rim - Grand Canyon 16.5 x 30 inches oil on stretched canvas (The best). CLICK TO ENLARGE


Famous US artist Thomas Moran painted the Grand Canyon from this point which is where we also stood, many years later. I enjoyed painting the rocky cliff but also the far distant mountains. 
Many Canadians who visit the canyon also stand at the same spot, enjoying the view, and this 50cm by 70cm painting, on stretched canvas, is full of cheerful russet hues, different from our greens and blues.
Available direct from me. Send email.

"Alison" 6x6 oil on canvas board


 "Alison"

By Ron Wilson with a salute to the style of  Milt Kobayashi.
 It was from the inspiration of artists such as Velasquez, Whistler, Chase, Sargent
 and others that Milt found his particular use of color,
 pattern, and his compositional style. My mentors too.
