Sending out the first one of my ‘unplugged- technicolor dreams’ to @buttergallery151 for the 4 person show opening October 8th . There’s so many things I like about these new pieces . The narrative element, the layers of texture. The colours. Pretty happy with them. Looking forward to seeing how they fare out on their own .

From study to bigger. Similar but different. Interesting challenges, interesting solutions. Might scale up even larger … these two are 12x12” and 36x36”

Very wet piece underway. Playing with light bouncing and motion and perspective.
So many things I’m liking about it . The result of another late night painting session. So interesting the transition from daylight to night and back again when looking at work.
40x60”
I was camping with a group of people . A friend and I were looking at the stars , others were looking at a campfire. It started a whirlwind of ideas about perspective and focus and , well , there are a bunch of pieces coming that investigate these ideas.

This piece ‘ unplugged- reflection 40x48” , is part of a new body of work I’ve sent to @dervilia_art_design that’s going to be exhibited at @artnowfineartfair www.artnow.ca . It’s live in person and online on September 22.
I’ve sent work from a number of series that I’ve been working on. The unplugged work is a bunch of work created from trips engaging in nature both near and further afield. Like all of my work , it hopes to create a conversation with the viewer that takes them somewhere beyond what I’ve conveyed in the confines of the canvas .

Playing around again. Working on some new ideas , colour combinations. 8x8” studies…. What will be next . I keep surprising myself.
None of these were anywhere close to what I was aiming for . I like misadventures.

Back in the studio after a bit of a break. Picked these from my garden. Enjoying the scent of dill.
Flowers or sketches or something else. So many possibilities. Exciting!

Been a slacker posting lately. New ideas, packing up a bunch of work for @dervilia_art_design in Saskatoon, been experiencing a zucchini apocalypse amongst other things.
Lesson from a camping trip . Wear cologne if you want to be a mosquito magnet! 🤪
Happy dog days of summer! (Are we there?)

Say hello to this ‘electric forest’ @diannawittegallery . Channeling a long weekend vibe.

These pieces all found their way to one home . The client arranged them in this way, I love the progression of colour and ideas he made with his choices. I also believe that this sorta thing along with salon walls are excellent ideas. They allow the collector to easily rearrange the pieces so they are able to see things with clear eyes.
These pieces are part of my art for groceries series. I’m experimenting with new ideas with them and donating 10% of the proceeds towards charity. The 6x6” in this series (like these) are $185. Including tax. I’ll be refreshing my website with some other grocery pieces. (6x12, 6x8, 8x8”)
