Thinking about this piece today for many reasons. Cherishing moments, pushing yourself, experiencing discomfort to see what happens.
I enjoy the different narratives happening in this piece . You have the intimacy of the glow around the fire. The reflection on the trees.and then there’s the narrative from the perspective of the person looking at the group around the fire .
The piece is Technicolor dreams variation 1 , it’s 24x24”

New electric forest . 76 cm x 76 cm (30x30”) so confusing this metric and imperial coexistence here in Ontario.
A friend suggested this could be an underwater landscape. That works too. Brilliantly in fact , engaging the imagination of the viewer . BRING IT ON 🙌

Trying to hang a grouping in the studio. Taxing my brain. Getting over the bug that everyone seems to have gotten for Christmas.
I think it works. Any thoughts ?

I missed out on posting a top 9 . I’ve chosen my own personal 9. There are so many choices, it was a fabulous year for the progression of my painting. I’m truly thankful for my galleries, collectors and community for their support. I look forward to seeing what happens in 2023 .

A couple of commissions I did in 2022. There was another as well.
Delightful to have others let me interpret their experiences and places. Capturing these moments in time / places.

Yesterday I visited @scott_pattinson at his studio. He’s converted a barn into a workspace near Cambridge. Always exciting to see artists in their natural habitats.
Over a dozen years ago, I took part in an arts festival with him in Tuscany . Wow! So many miles, directions, tangents since then . Who knows where the next tangents will take us.

Looking at and discussing these pieces with family. Enjoying the different directions and progressions of my craft. There’s connective elements in the pieces yet there are distinctions .
It’s important to take moments of time to reflect and regroup on successes and failures. Thankful for a family that supports and encourages me.
Happy holidays . I hope you’re safe and warm and have some peace.

Life is like painting. Always an adventure. Sometimes you fall flat on your face . Sometimes the impression you make in the mud is interesting and you go with that. I’m always growing as a painter . Pushing what I know .

Studio grouping highlighting some of the tangents from 2022.
It’s been a year exploring many nuances of light, playing with pixelations and random colour combinations.

Art for groceries, 6x6” variety. These pieces are studies and experiments I make . They began as a reaction to the pandemic and continue as a response to the situations I see around me .
10% of the sales of these goes towards charities. In December it’s going to CAMH a local hospital that addresses mental health issues. The 6x6” pieces are $185. Including tax and shipping in Canada .

Here’s a new piece from my exploration into gloaming, and campfires and night skies. I love the narrative in these pieces, am really enjoying the depth of colour and movement in them .
This example is 30x30 and still untitled and still very wet.
