Held In Still Water

Held in Still Water16" x 20" Acrylic on Canvasby Pamela Watson A Great Blue Heron stands quietly on a rock, surrounded by calm water and a field of layered greens. Backlit by soft light, the bird is both defined and transformed—its edges softened, its presence steady and intentional.

Redwing in the Morning Haze

Redwing in the Morning Haze 8.5" x 5.5" Watercolor on Paper This small watercolor painting captures a quiet, misty morning moment that has stayed with me. On the drive home after dropping my granddaughter off at school, a foggy landscape and an urgent roadside stop led to an unexpected encounter with a flock of red-winged blackbirds. Perched in the trees, the birds loudly scolded my presence as they defended their territory....

Feathered Bathers – 30" x 24" Acrylic on Canvas This 30" x 24" acrylic painting was inspired by a sunny June day in Hamilton, Ontario, when I painted in an estuary under a shade tree.

🎨 New Painting Complete!

My newest piece takes me back to June 2025, when I traveled to Hamilton, Ontario for a paint-out. I set up my easel in an estuary under a shady tree, and for hours, a lively party of geese and three swans kept me company — even surrounding me at one point! Their playful interactions along the river and in the water reminded me of Georges Pierre Seurat’s Bathers at Asnières, and I knew I wanted to capture the scene someday.

I took a video that day and finally got brave enough to turn it into this 30” x 24” acrylic painting. I had fun rearranging the geese and swans to convey the feeling of that day — my “bathers” may have feathers, but it really felt like a riverside beach party to me.

I hope this painting brings you a little of the same joy and calm that I felt while making it. 💚💙
