Lorne McDermott

Welcome

I was born on Canada’s East Coast and now reside near the southern shores of Georgian Bay. I am known for painting large-scale oil paintings of the ever-changing waters and skies. I love to watch and contemplate the shoreline, absorbing the colors, energy and mood reflecting back.  The sketch that follows this process provides the lines for my painting, but it is the oils spreading across the canvas that allow it to breathe.  From here the painting begins to grow with emotions and passion. I feel it is this creative exchange, the conversation between myself and the paint, which allows my canvases to come to life.

If I could rebuild the world “sky, water and land” with the palette in my mind – my palette – then you would see what I see and feel what I feel.
