Welcome to my site featuring my oil and acrylic paintings. Please take a few moments and enjoy the marine, still life, city and landscape paintings which, you will find here.  I am a self-taught Canadian Artist and have been working for about 25 years mostly in acrylic paints and a large percentage en plein air.  Many of the landscape, marine, cityscape, still life paintings you will see here are for sale!
To inquire  about a painting, the acrylic painting books, workshops, or to commission a painting, please click here to send me a message.  My work hangs in numerous corporate and private art colIections in Canada, the United States, and Europe.
  I also conduct weekend, acrylic painting workshops, which I have been doing for the last ten years.
My Acrylic Painting Course is now available in book, e-book or condensed e-book format so anyone can learn how to paint using these acrylic techniques, methods and instruction at home. A "must have" art book for anyone interested in learning to paint.
"Hi Brian, I got your book and first I have to say thank you, I love it. I have done more with my burnt sienna values with this book than I did in 5 art classes. THANK YOU. Even my husband said "you should frame that like it is". I can't believe I am finally "getting it". Values and blocking in have been a MAJOR struggle for me." - RHONDA LAWTON

"I am convinced that anyone can paint and what this course is really about is to help the painter to get out of the way and allow the painting to happen. This program has evolved over the last 12 years and helped hundreds of people learn to to paint. Many who have had no previous experience now show in galleries and juried shows here on the west coast !"


"Hello Brian -I took your course this weekend and now am seeing form through "different"eyes. I am not stuck anymore with details. Color and shape in the most simple form is in all I see.I am feeling joy now after a difficult weekend of undoing old habits. Your Buddhist way of teaching was very refreshing and opened up the playful aspect of painting for me again. Namaste."-Cathy Campbell
