Last blog, I wrote of emerging from a 6-month dry spell with some colourful abstract works, including Boundless. In January it was accepted into a juried show at The Cline House Gallery in Cornwall, ON. Very validating! Positive reinforcement fuels the creative process VERY effectively. I’ve been painting like mad! This larger piece has aboutContinue reading “Validation Feeds”

I’m coming out of a dry period, so challenged myself with a 24 x 36 inch canvas – no need to take things slow! My intention was to create a sister work for 421 Cornered II from September 2021.

Some months since last we updated these pages, with nothing much (personally) new in this time of changes. Planning shows for the Glengarry Artists’ Collective – details will be posted – and struggling with several canvases. Or, more accurately, with the way I’m reacting to the canvases. I’m attempting calmer and quieter paint applications. ByContinue reading “Where do the time go?”
