Featured works
Inspired by a photo I took while on my noon-hour bike ride on July 7th, 2024. The Red Bridge is near the beginning of the ride that takes me down Fermor Ave to Kingston Row in Winnipeg, which is the highlight of my ride.
I took this photo while on vacation to visit our son Anthony in Vancouver. It was part of a Stanley Park walk that brought us to many scenic viewpoints of the water. I added the Viceroys which look similar to a Monarch but are smaller and have a different pattern on their back wings. It gave the painting more interest and life.
Inspired by a photo by brother Gil took while on vacation in Mexico with his wife Sue. I liked the softness and colours of his photo.
I noticed this sort of fungus that had appeared on this man-made lake on the way home one day. It was there for a few days and I was fortunate to witness this weird growth.
Len’s work is characterized

for the natural world.
Whether capturing a landscape,
the delicate features of a bird,
or the subtle textures of flowers,
Len brings an accessible and
honest approach to his paintings.

Len works primarily in acrylics. He spent over twenty years working in pencil crayon before making the switch to acrylic paints in 2015, which opened up new possibilities for colour, texture, and scale.
-
Landscapes, wildlife, and botanicals are Len's main focus. His work is grounded in a genuine appreciation for the natural world, whether he's capturing the details of a bird or a broader landscape scene.
-
Yes. Len's earliest inspiration came from recreating comic strips from the Winnipeg Free Press as a boy. He developed his skills over decades while working full-time, first in pencil crayon and later in acrylics. Since retiring in 2020, he's been able to dedicate much more time to his art.
