This is where I live now. I live downtown in a small city where I can see the MS CHI-CHEEMAUN 🚢 docked for the winter. I have a huge secret garden buried under mountains of snow and I can be hiking the Bruce trail in 5 minutes or out in farmland. It’s all pretty spectacular and a radical departure from my 40 odd years of living in a huge metropolis where travelling the smallest distance can take a lifetime. I love Toronto.

Makes sense that my work would also experience some shifts after such a massive change.

Posting some paintings reflecting these new circumstances I find myself in . This piece is 24x24” , oil on canvas .,

Another new piece I’ve been working up . Colour always changes, what works one day is passé the next .

Evokes a bit of the sense of the granite bedrock that is everywhere.

Working up some new ideas . Many incarnations take place when creating something new .

One of the perks of moving up here is the different experiences interacting with nature. It’s more accessible in a more intimate way.

This study is a 10x10” version. There’s something temporal happening here.

‘Think like a raindrop’, been watching a lot of how to install siding on my studio videos and this phrase from one video is living in my head as I work on this new Electric Forest.

Be the raindrop. Be unstoppable. Be persistent. Don’t penetrate my doors or windows!!

this electric forest is 54x48”
