Scarlet Wind

Ontario is the land of lighthouses and range lights. They are all imposing objects with their strong glowing white towers against the intense colours of lush land and blue water. As the seasons go by, changing colours from greens to scarlets inspire me every year. It is fun to be a painter of Great Lakes. Art Nouveau meets Pointillism in this painting.

Meditation

With the awakening of new season, spirits are in joyful meditation. Yükselle painted this scene to welcome the Spring, praying for peace on our beautiful EARTH.

Awakening

Spring was here on the Northern Hemisphere, the trees were bursting with buds, magnolias were showing off their delicate colours. Human spirits were awakening to the warmth of the earth. With this painting I welcome Mother Nature to its colourful season. Art Nouveau meets Pointillism in this painting.

Cap-girl

Porsche #9: I was developing a new portrait simply called Cap-girl, when an art patron, who had previously purchased a couple of my stone sculptures, visited my studio. A long time Porsche owner and racing fan, he said he would like to buy it, and asked if I would put the name Porsche on the cap along with his lucky number; # 9. So, in an instant, baseball-cap-girl, became Porsche #9 ―a private commission.

Majestic

Majestic: This magnificent animal, indigenous to northern Alberta, Canada, is a Dall Sheep. I imagined it leaping to the next ledge. It was a challenge to capture the ram’s power and majesty. The startling contrast of the chamois horns, silver-white body coat and black muzzle, eyes, and hoofs, are so uniquely Dall. The larger indentations in its trophy sized horn curls count out the number of years it has survived in the wilderness. Majestic is at his prime―in his eighth year on the mountain.

Truth & Reconciliation: A Slippery Slope

A triptych that rolls down to the right at a 45-degree angle, it feels like a pale blue waterfall of light that creates a path for the Indigenous pow wow dancers to progress towards the shaman at the bottom.
