ESKIMO ROLLS
KAYAK RACING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"When the North American Glaciers receded millions of years ago, they had carved out a rugged landscape and left behind a deluge of savage waters to which many of today's wilderness adventurers are drawn. The Eskimo Roll is one of the first techniques to learn. If a kayaker is upended, a twist of the hips will get him right side up - the Eskimo Roll."
TAMING OF THE CHUTE
KAYAK - ACTION SPORTS ART






"The thrill of shooting the rapids amid the rugged beauty of Northern Ontario's Pre-Cambrian shield rock forest is indesputable. In this watercolor painting the vibrant colors of the kayaker and his yellow kayak are the obvious focal point."
RIVER ROCKET
KAYAKING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"One of the most popular areas for whitewater kayaking and canoeing is a scenic forest area near Minden in the Haliburton Highlands district of Northern Ontario. The attractions of this natural white water river are the amazing rapids that tumble over enormous boulders and tremendous vertical drops that stimulate the senses and create an undeniable adrenaline rush."
RIVER RUSH
KAYAK SURFING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"The water in the foreground of these action watercolor paintings of whitewater kayaking reveals detailed rapids and reflections. Water beads run off the kayaks of the original paintings; unfortunately, I had to sacrifice details and clarity here for faster loading of the images to the internet. The water behind the kayaks hits a boulder and the resulting spray seeps into the background."
ORIGINAL PAINTING IS SOLD







THE EXPLORERS
CANOEING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"When faced with sudden rapids on the Voyageur Route, tense concentration and balance is required to keep the canoe upright. It is easy to imagine the perils experienced by early explorers with their canoes laden with the season's catch of furs headed for the Trading Post. I have tried to capture the excitement of the moment experienced by these explorers of today's wilderness adventure. Details of the water and reflections in the wet canoe are clearly visible in the original painting and in the prints."
TO CONQUER WHITEWATER
RIVER KAYAK - ACTION SPORTS ART






"The greatest challenge to man has always been to battle the elements and come out victorious. To conquer whitewater is a challenge that some cannot resist. The exuberant feeling that you defied the savage rapids and survived is addictive and you can hardly wait to repeat the experience."
ROLLIN' DOWN THE RIVER
WHITE WATER RAFTING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"The thunderous waters of the Ottawa River are featured in this original action watercolor painting of whitewater rafting."
ORIGINAL PAINTING IS SOLD







HENLEY ON THE HORIZON
SKULL ROWING - ACTION SPORTS ART






"Suddenly it's quiet. The distant early morning lakeshore becomes more visible through the mist with each pensive stroke. Grueling daily training for the Henley Regatta requires strength, balance, endurance and concentration. To brave the challenge of flatwater is no less a passion."
ORIGINAL PAINTING IS SOLD
