Springtime on the Prairies

Some favorite watercolors that really capture the sense that spring has sprung and another long prairie winter is finally over. The land is re-emerging and even the warmer air seems visible.

Happier Winters



Prairie Snowscape - temptation to snow shoe or ski cross country!

Much happier memories are evident in the first winters captured in and around Saskatoon. Especially for often snow-starved Europeans, where snowfall brings much excitement, especially to children and all winter sports enthusiasts. This beauty in the landscape also called out to Fritz and many a family adventure began with the start of a new life in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan.

The Saskatoon skyline was a favorite motif, in all seasons.
