A week sketching in the French River. I took acrylic gouache, which dries quickly and is easier to transport than oils.

A lovely afternoon meeting artists and seeing the art work on display @thepostmarkhotel . My work is in room 219. The hotel is opening on August 9 and is on the Main Street in Newmarket. Thank you @peony_iris for the excellent curation and hanging, the whole hotel is beautiful and full of inspiring art!

I love traveling but it’s also nice to be home and working in my studio again. Started this large painting (36x36”) this week, still in progress.

A little over 2 weeks in the UK - hard to sum up all the fun in a reel. Time spent visiting with family, hiking in Wales, seeing great exhibitions in London. And the weather was amazing!

I’m feeling so inspired by the landscape and the incredible art.

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Rosedale

Thank you to everyone who stopped by the Rosedale Art Fair this past weekend! There was some wind and rain 🌧️ but there were still lots of visitors.

I sold some work, including this one, and had a great time. Thank you to who came by, to the organizers of the Rosedale Art Fair, and to the fantastic community of artists, who make doing these shows so much fun!

I’m taking the summer to do some more painting and will do one more outdoor show in September. Stay tuned!

Hey, happy spring! I’m pleased to have some of my paintings displayed at Morningside Branch, Toronto Public Library for the month of April. Some of you might know that the beach area in the east end of Toronto is a huge source of inspiration to me. It may look like I’m out of the city taking sunrise photos over the water, but most of the time, I’m at Woodbine Beach! The Morningside Branch is in Scarborough, not far from the lake, so I’m very glad to have my paintings on display here.

Many people in our neighbourhood still have their Christmas lights up. Winter in Toronto has been SO GREY that I think we all need a bit of sparkle and color where we can find it. Am I right?
This house is around the corner and is one that I’ve painted before. I’m experimenting with staying a bit looser and more expressive with the colour. Today I did a bit of glazing with some magenta to warm up the sky. Sometimes the grey skies can read weirdly pink with all the ambient light. ‘Christmas lights #2’, 8x10”, oil on board. Quite a lot of glare, will need to shoot it again.

Sold - “orange sky #1”, 12x12”. The light changes so quickly at twilight that it’s hard to record it. This is a loose interpretation of it.
