Canadian Pacific Railway CP 8856 by Victor Rolfe

Mon, 18 Feb 2013 01:06:43 MST

Canadian Pacific Railway CP 8856 Powering through Early Snow. From an excellent photo by Canadian photographer Jim Winsor. (Photo used with Jim's very kind permission.) The photo was taken in October 2011 and Jim writes: "This was so far the most significant snowfall we have had yet this year. I braved the elements today to capture this rare for me image of such a beauty. I arrived at this location and it was dull and overcast which soon gave way to a lite blowing snowfall. This beauty could be heard off in the distance and low and behold, out of the blowing snow she came."

Jarah by Victor Rolfe

A pretty young girl making the victory sign. From a photo in Joharah Ruth Alonzo's facebook profile: www.facebook.com/prettyjoharah My apologies to Jarah for the hand... I would have tried to make a better job of this but I find if I try too hard to sort-out the mistakes, I just end-up ruining the thing altogether. ('Better to stop while the going is still good...)

Feathery Head Dress by Victor Rolfe

Sun, 09 Dec 2012 08:04:54 MST

Purely from imagination. The feathers are well 'over the top.' It's a kind of self-portrait... Kind of how I would like to imagine myself as a native North American Indian with my very own style of feathery headdress... Loads and loads of feathers and colors all over the place!

Girl with Cellphone by Victor Rolfe

Wed, 31 Oct 2012 07:10:17 MST

Just a quick pastel painting of a Filipina teenage girl, cellphone in-hand, texting away in the doorway of a rural cottage where I used to visit in the Southern Philippines. From one of my own photos. I don't know why but I can never seem to get the faces right on either of the two youngest sisters in that family...

Two Dogs and a Boy by Victor Rolfe

Keep trying, as they say! With this one, I was quite happy with the grass, the rest of the garden and the Black Labrador. 'Shame about the boy and the Husky. (From a photo of my youngest nephew sitting in the garden with his dogs)

Shy's Portrait - First (Lousy) Attempt by Victor Rolfe

Mon, 16 Jul 2012 00:28:52 MST

I promised to have a go at doing a portrait of Shy a long time ago. I struggled with this one... Anyway, here it is, for what it is worth. More practice needed. Oh well, I'll get there in the end. Either that, or find something more useful to do with my spare time!

Window With a View by Victor Rolfe

Mon, 25 Jun 2012 02:01:47 MST

My first ever painting that was not based on a photograph! This is a purely fictitious scene that I just concocted-up in my imagination. It is supposed to be a view through an old country cottage window, somewhere in the South of England on a warm, sunny morning. The garden pool has some koi swimming around in it and the bench is just waiting for me to take out my coffee and sit on it to watch the koi!
