Think I’ve mentioned being in a slight creative (painterly) slump since April. I’m working imaginative magic tweaking my home, making aesthetic changes inside and out. But generating art? Not so much. Dishes emerging from my kitchen are varied and delicioso — I’ve got the extra pounds to prove it! But it’s not feeding my urgeContinue reading “The devil’s name is Murphy?”

See 71 works by 5 artists — including three by yours truly. The show has been well-received with 13 sales so far. An enthusiastic return to local shows. More to come!

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?”

May 2020 Not a lot has changed in a month, playing in the studio is ongoing. Got in a couple of books on Hockney’s work to feed my painterly soul. The physical distancing required by COVID-19 creates lots of time to paint, experiment, play, consider & adjust.  Time for Tea? is a statement and a query.Continue reading “Diary of a small painting”

I’ve been pouring creativity into the kitchen & garden this past month. Created four kinds of tomato soup! A Thai-inspired sweet potato soup is in the slow cooker now & goat curry is braising in the oven. Miss being served surprises in restaurants but certainly creating variety at home. A new 30-foot garden bed meandersContinue reading “Soup is creative, right?”
