From the archives, available. October At Whitesand Lake, Tobeatic Wilderness. Acrylic on panel 11x14. What a paddle into this remote lake, it took a day to get here, skimming through river & still water and eventually into the lake its self.

Tiny works continued. Bright clear dawn on a snow covered lake edge. Showing at Argyle Fine Art. #preshrunk2026 next Friday. I enjoy making these small intimate paintings. I start with a stroke and never know where they will end up. Always inventing and problem solving, pushing into the unexplored.

From Oct 2011, artist Greg Dickie painting the run at John Pictou Carry in the Tobeatic, SW Nova Scotia. We got rained out and were visited by a bear at about 1am while we slept in our tents. Fabulous trip from which many paintings flowed. #canadianart #tobeatic #gregdickie #nswild
