Had a fun weekend playing around at the @georgianbayarts #gbarts with a bunch of friends trying to translate some sketches to print.... ended up more playing than printmaking. Such fun . More to come I’m certain. Hiking , kayaking, swimming and laughter. So much fun ! #canadianart #torontoartist #creativeprocess

A 6X6” #artistsupportpledge It’s $185. Including Canadian shipping. My colours and subject matter in these tiny paintings is constantly changing . I’m quite enjoying that . Soon I’m certain they’ll be more of the flowers that I’ve been growing at my garden and their tremendous animate shadows. The flowers , that usually are sitting in a freshly picked bucket at my studio keep diverting my attention from other necessary studio tasks . Three steps forward one step back seems the way these days . Similar probably to the world these days as we find our footing as masked people . #abstractlandscape #tinyart #contemporarypainting #contemporarylandscape

Of work I sell . Seems like a win win . It’s been interesting working much smaller than I ordinarily work . #contemporaryart #contemporarypainting #canadianart

Another new little painting. It’s 6x12 and $300. Including shipping in Canada , 25$ for the US , $50. For the UK. (SOLD)This is an unofficial entry for the artist support pledge. I will still be spending $200. Out of every $1000. I earn on other artists work. I do believe it’s a tremendous idea to help artists through these difficult times when shows have been cancelled, residences have been indefinitely postponed , teaching opportunities have sputtered out and galleries have closed . It’s also a way for people to purchase inexpensive original art to offer them vehicles for their imaginations. #contemporarypainting #landscapepainting #canadianart #tinyart #contemporarylandscape

Sorting through paperwork I came across this catalog from a show in 2000. My piece was the one which currently hangs in my kitchen . It was from my initial cultivated chaos series . I don’t know how others feel but for me, making a piece that still resonates 20 years after creation is pretty fabulous. Sometimes , it’s to my great ongoing delight when pieces don’t sell and make a place in my life . I love this piece! #torontoartist #oilpainting #canadianart #colour
