It's heeeere! Sun is out. Cards and prints are flying off the shelves and lot of interest in original pieces. I hope you can make it to the Gabriola Thanksgiving Studio Tour 2024. Studio #40 has quality snacks (fancy cheese!) And a cute dog (happily eats fancy cheese).

My darkest painting ever. I tried to add or do anything to it but it says it's done. Not sure yet. It may have more to go.

This is my most recently completed piece in the studio. It will be for sale during the Gabriola Studio Tour.

I started doing time lapse videos of myself painting a couple of years ago. It was so fun to watch what was hours (days) of work happen in a minute or two. We don't really get to watch ourselves make art. I think it's really amusing how many brushes I wind up with in my left hand. WTF? I find it interesting watching myself making thousands of tiny decisions -some consciously some not. But I never thought of this as "real". I've heard a few artists whom I admire criticizing this practice of both filming a time lapse and posting it. It isn't art. It isn't representative of the way art is really made. You aren't seeing the struggle, or the "messy middle" where many artists feel the piece is getting away from them or is F'd up beyond repair. Not seeing the frustration with "WHAT THE HELL DO I EVEN WANT TO PAINT?" And I acknowledge this. It is true. This is definitely not real. But I was also a theater kid. And I like to put on a show. So forgive me for daring to entertain you and give you a non realistic idea of what it is like to watch me paint over my shoulder. And forgive me for showing my good side. If you want to know what's real you have to visit me. You have to talk to me.

Studio tour is 13 days away. I hope you will come visit me studio #40 on the Gabriola Studio Tour.

The Seraphina Alchemist Award will be going to one of these incredible 5 artists this Friday, 7pm-9pm at Nova.

It will be an opportunity to honor Seraphina and to initiate a legacy in her honor. She is so missed by so many. There will be an altar set up if you wish to contribute. There will be refreshments and unlimited tissues on offer. There will most certainly be tears and laughter.

Just finished this big guy last night. I can honestly say I hope nobody sees it for the next couple of months. It will be living at the medical centre on Gabe where I have a bunch of my work hanging for the next bit. I’d much prefer you stay healthy and out of need of medical care but if not, you may get to check out this piece.
