If you are familiar with my uncle’s work you will know that he had a special affinity with horses. He captured not only their likeness but their spirits so beautifully.
He was also known for telling stories through his pieces… looking at them was like falling into a book where the words are so well crafted the characters, sounds, smells and landscape come to life and dance in your head. In fact, some of his major works were so filled with activity that I often thought they could be divided into smaller paintings that would stand alone. This piece I have titled "Best Friends" and it is an example of that concept. This team is part of a beautiful larger work titled “Burning Brush” .

I think this image would make a lovely print and would also be a great choice for packaging design!! #art #canadianart #artlicensing #equestrianart #equestrian #horses #waterlooregion #peteretrilsnyder #winter #nature #snow #slowliving #nostalgia

I always thought this image would make a great Holiday card… The snow has come early and it is very wintery here... it has me in the holiday mood!!
Here are my uncle’s artist notes on this little gem of a painting titled “Sugarbush Snowman”
"For me, so many paintings are started because I simply happen upon an appealing situation or piece of business as I call it. While looking to photograph a particularly attractive sugar shack, I was surprised to find this snowman obviously constructed by some young man waiting for the next load of sap."

Today is remembrance Day.
I thought it fitting to post a painting titled “Decorated” that pays tribute to a Canadian veteran. I wish I knew this gentleman’s name. Unfortunately, it is not included in the notes my uncle wrote about the painting ( see below) I am assuming that the veteran depicted resided in the Kitchener Waterloo area and if anyone seeing this post recognizes him please message me!
Here is what Pete wrote about the piece:
"This old gent, a Canadian veteran of World War II, was part of our group as we visited Holland to celebrate the 60th Anniversary of Canada’s liberation of the Netherlands. Much decorated, this man, like so many others, is only recognized when he wears his medals.” The second painting included here is titled Dutch Riverside View. It was painted the same year as “decorated” and I wanted to share it as part of my tribute because it conveys the beauty and peace of the area that this veteran risked everything to protect for future generations.

My uncle and aunt spent a great amount of time in England and I was lucky enough to be with them there on three occasions over the years.
Pete took copious amounts of photos while traveling which he used as reference for pieces painted after they returned home. He also painted while traveling. As a result, many beautiful paintings were born from those trips including this lovely piece titled “Chipping Campden Area”
The original painting is not available. Prints of this image as well as rights managed licenses are available. Please DM for information.

This is what my Uncle wrote about the piece:
“This scene that I observed in the Cotswolds appears to come straight from a childrens book of England. The peaceful spring countryside, the mellow-toned stone house and the equestrian heading back from a canter are all constituents in this romantic view of Britain. A large part of Englands attraction for me is that other worldly quality.”

With KW Oktoberfest and Thanksgiving right around the corner I thought I would share this painting depicting the annual parade. Going to this parade was such a special time for our family! I can’t imagine my childhood without it. When I look at this painting it’s as if I go back in time... can you hear the steam whistle... I know I can!! #oktoberfest #kw #waterlooregion #memories #tradition #originalpainting #canadianart #peteretrilsnyder #parade #regionofwaterloo

We spend so much time in the kitchen. It is truly the hub of our home.
The kitchen renovation here at #bannockburn1878 was one of the first things we did when we bought the property and five years later I’m still loving the design.
I took a lot of heat designing a kitchen with black cabinetry but I don’t regret it... well, except for the dusting 😂
I also raised some eyebrows when I dyed the leather on these barstools... believe it or not, they started out butter yellow. The black dye has worn amazingly well and It is one of the design choices that pulled everything together. I would do it again in a heartbeat!! .

We have had copious amounts of rain and the resulting soggy, messy, icky conditions have me dreaming of Spring blooms.
I can almost smell the lilacs when I look at this pic!! .

The pretty blush pink of a winter sky and can we give a round of applause for our ten year old orchid... she is such a giver.💕
