I’m creating some more smaller pieces and offering them as part of the artist support pledge. The smaller ones are 6x6” and $215. Each . The larger ones are 8x8” and $300. Each.
Check out @artistsupportpledge for details. Basically they’re small affordable pieces of art that is sold by artists. 20% of the proceeds of the sales are then spent on other artist’s work . It’s a way to help artists survive during difficult times.
It’s a way to pay it forward. 🇨🇦 artists supporting other Canada 🇨🇦 artists
We’ve been having some kinda winter here . It’s been lovely if a little bit too intense. 13 feet of snow or about 4 metres since the start of January.
I’m choosing to focus on the interesting colour combinations and landscape and composition as much as possible because I can.
This winter painting is 18x24” . Oil on canvas.

Playing with winter some more . So beautiful, so much snow. The subtly of reflection is entrancing ! (think we’re already 150% of our average winter snowfall)
this piece is 15x30” or 38x76 cm. Oil on canvas.

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 .,

It may be chilly and there may be mountains of snow outside. There may be a world out there beyond my control…… Inside , that’s an entirely different story.
The story today is of a warm, verdant world filled with possibilities. Unusual colour combinations and energetic marks.
This new piece is 60x48” oil on canvas

New piece with a couple of details. Harkening to hikes in the woods when the snow isn’t waist deep and it’s not -35 C with the windchill. We need the cold and the snow .
This piece is 40x60” or 122x152 cm . Oil on canvas

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.
Wishing you all a very happy new year filled with new adventures.
I saw my first northern lights this year. It was a spectacular experience. This is my first painting of them . They’ll be more as there will be other explorations and departures. ( I love the people doing mysterious thing in the dark . Makes me happy)
this piece is 36x48” oil on canvas.
A couple of my still life pieces available @bugeramathesongallery . The first one’s 24x20” the second is 48x48” .
I love them . The architecture of the arrangements , the flowers and the suggestion of the space they’re positioned in . The shadows creating dynamic shapes , they all make my heart happy.
There was an urgency painting them. Racing to capture the shadows , the exuberance of the flowers as they peaked .

New 40x48” electric forest.
I catch myself enjoying the enjoying the snow globe activity outside while immersing myself inside and the fecundity of this piece.in the studio.
There are plenty of little moments within this piece that transport me.
