Jill Pratt is a well known watercolour artist who lives in St. Catharines, in the shadow of the escarpment. It is here that she finds constant and abundant inspiration. Whether painting the shores of Sauble Beach, the rugged trails in Tobermory or the vineyards of Niagara, she hopes her watercolours reflect the love and respect she holds for the land.
Hi! It's been a long cold winter BUT I have been working hard on a new collection of paintings and will show you a few that I have completed. My son, Sean and I went out several times to scout out new locations for potential paintings. ( Sean is a photographer, I am the painter!)
Rockway is a beautiful area with incredible rock outcroppings, waterfalls and spectacular views from atop the escarpment. These two acrylic paintings are of the area just below the falls.
A beautiful cold weekend trip to Ottawa inspired a few wintery landscapes.
The Escarpment
Again, the reflections are distorting the painting. One of my favourites because it is the view from out front window...not for sale.
Great Wall Of Sauble
This was already framed so the reflection off the glass is unfortunate.I am really pleased with the painting though. The hard working men who put the sand fencing up year after year will know that the fencing doesn't actually belong on this dune, but I moved it here...artistic license!
