Note the figure with the horse and cart and the houses in the background. Note too the telephone polls, three of which are leaning to the right while three are leaning left.




     A somewhat macabre arrangement of the trees

Landscape painting. Note the sheep cuddling against a barn wall.


     Note the horse towing a man on a sledge.


     
A village in Quebec. The woman on the right is carrying a burden       while the one on the left is busying herself with a horse and cart.


     
Cowley, Alberta. A couple chatting near a church.


     
Aurora (The Northern Lights)

     
L’Isle-aux-Coudres


      
Eastern Arctic


     
St Fidele. Note the two horses and sledges.


     
Can you see the woman working, bottom left, and the two boats         in the water?


     Street in Hull, Quebec


     
One horse and sledge


     
The view from ground level and the central positioning of the              church and town lend a sense of solidity to the scene.


     A
 horse and sledge in a small town dwarfed by a massive                    church.


     
Wood cutting in the dead of winter.


     
Poppies flourishing on the grounds of a crumbling house. This           tells you something about life and death.


      
Two men and two dogs – and two boats.


     
The requisite horse and cart plodding home while seven crows           (symbols of wisdom) circle in the air.


     
Pincher Creek, Alberta


     
The church, in colourless contrast to the houses, seems irrelevant,        as in a painting by Hendrick Avercamp.


     
A sinister-looking image, loaded with foreboding.


      
Off to the woods – for more wood?
