Paintings by Dave

        On The Balcony       Oil on canvas       48 by 24 inches (122 by 61 centimetres) My last completed canvas of 2025, and my latest attempt at a Manet-style portrait. (You'll also notice that I borrowed the railing from his own painting of the same title). Jenika returns from her earlier appearance in The Yellow Dress . I think the rose petals on the ground add a poignant touch, and the butterfly is pure whimsy.

  Cliff at Pokeshaw Oil on canvas 16 by 20 inches (41 by 51 centimetres) My first completed canvas of 2026. I've been making a lot of copies of Monet seascapes lately, just for fun, and wanted to apply the same techniques to an original work. This scene is along the coast of the Acadian Peninsula in northern New Brunswick, during a drive we took out there last November. It was a cold, windy day, as attested by that poor, windblown little tree.

    Young Woman in a Straw Hat     Oil on canvas     20 by 24 inches (51 by 61 centimetres)     Completed on 15 November 2025     A new portrait of my niece Lauren, whom you saw previously in The White Dress . Posing in a sunny      straw hat last summer, I was going for a sort of Renoir approach in the portraiture, and bright colours      that matched the light. 

Centennial Park, September View Oil on canvas 24 by 32 inches (61 by 81 centimetres) Completed on 29 November 2025 The pond at Centennial Park here in Moncton, on a sunny autumn day with the leaves going full blast.
