Here’s a little one 10x10” with its source and it on the wall behind.
The studio is a disaster, this corner is okay though .

New work from new growth. Playing around with stuff I’ve grown and been given at my allotment garden etc.
Sometimes adding architectural elements, always playing with shadows.
24x24”, 30x30” oil on panel

It’s a new , very bright day according to this piece that just came off the easel.
Very bouncy in the studio right now. That’s what I’m calling it anyway as I bounce between a bunch of themes and ideas .
This forest Inti’s 40x48” … what next ? Stay tuned ! ( I think a still life but it’s fluid )

One of the interesting challenges of painting these still life’s in the studio is the changing light and other changing elements.
Ie: drooping foliage and dropping petals . In the past I’ve tried painting the changes over days, I will surely do so again at some time .
This piece is 36x48” and the still life is enhanced with elements from my mother’s garden.

Fresh paint . A forest interior , with a few details . This ones 48x52” (I think)
I find it interesting how these palates keep shifting as does the layering.

It’s that time of year when I take things I’ve grown and traded for at my garden and arrange and paint it. I find it an interesting process .
Here’s my first piece from the season. Not certain it’s finished yet but I’m excited to be back at it.

Here are two interpretations of cherry beach. I think it’s interesting because the palate is so similar and yet the feeling is so different. These are both 24x24”, and headed to @diannawittegallery later this week.
It’s one of the things I enjoy about Toronto, the variety of scenery and the way it changes throughout the seasons. Although my interpretation of colour often varies far from the original.
Which reminds me of the book disclaimer saying that the characters resemblance to real people is entirely coincidental. I feel the opposite is true with artwork. Any resemblance to real places is entirely subjective and dependent on an audience’s imagination being engaged.

Another tropical dream. This ones 24x24”
One might think I spend a lot of time dreaming of different locals. Not true, I think I just dream in different colours and dimensions. This one involves playing with positive and negative spaces. I’m playing a little bit with building up the volume of paint again as well and the use of white lines (oil sticks on a darker background) All for science or to excite my curiosity or something.

It’s always such a treat to pieces in their landing spots. This forest interiors revisited (fir) found its home through @diannawittegallery ❤️. Dolly the cat for scale .

‘studies in line and form’ variation 3 currently @bugeramathesongallery along with a window detail and an animated shadow.
The prep for these pieces in this series continues as I grow assorted flowers and vegetables at my garden. The garden like my work is in a constant state of change. My intentions of what’s happening with the plants has required me to be adaptable. The plague of rodents still aren’t good at sharing , the tall snapdragons are short (mislabeled package I think) and the seasons are all confused with this unseasonably warm/dry weather.
Looking forward to what happens next.

A variety of tropical dreams I’ve been having. They’re based on my wanderings around the lake recently. The colours and subject matter , as is often the case, are cases of reality as a departure point.
The smallest are 10x10” , the mid sized one is 24x24” and the largest is 30x30” .
I’ve been liking how these have been evolving . In colour, texture , line and texture. They will continue to grow larger . I’m excited to see what happens!

My contributions to @buttergallery151 for their 36x36” show opening today. I had a sneak peek of the show in person when I dropped off the work. Looked like it was going to be fabulous. Check it out in person if you happen to get to collingwood or online if you can’t !
I hope you enjoy the first official weekend of summer . Looks to be rainy here , yay, we need it .

I need a headshot recently so I grabbed one from one of the videos Sean Karow made for me . They’re on my YouTube channel Kim Atlin . (I’ll put a link later if I can figure that out)
They’re from a distant time long past , slightly less than two years ago, one studio ago, a time I was experimenting with a mushroom, Gorgonzola and rosemary pizza and we seemed to live in a different reality.
I look forward to sharing culinary experiments again someday.

Scaling up. It’s a piece drawn from one of my walks along the lake by the Leslie spit. I’ve walked down there more this year than I can remember. It’s adjacent to my allotment garden but for whatever reason the proximity was not enough to get me there much in years past .
It’s interesting how it changes from year to year. They’ve been with working on naturalization I think . Certainly the minks and otters like it. (They have an open invitation for a rodent buffet at my garden anytime)
