Away (Road Trip)

New Work. "Away" (Road Trip) / acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas / 16"x20" / $560

I'm also pleased to have just signed up for a workshop this summer with Claire Desjardnis. 
This is one of her paintings:

Cobblestones of San Miguel, 2016

Painting 48 x 90 x 1.5 in 122 x 228 x 5 cm

The uneven cobblestones of San Miguel wind through the oldest parts of the colourful town. I imagine the hundreds of years' worth of traffic that have ridden and walked along the paths that find their ways into the heart of the village, atop the mountain. I will go back. I used mostly acrylic paints, but I also used graphite, charcoal, and conte.

Lovely, yes? #alwayslearning

Wanderlust

Wanderlust.
Who hasn't felt it? Where would you go if money wasn't an object? I'd love to know, on this cold January day. Let's all do some dreaming : )

Studio clean-up + Happy New Year!

Happy New Year a good week in. Hope everyone is feeling fine and that January hasn't been to harsh a start for 2016!
The new year brought a studio clean. Believe me. Much needed. Feels excellent to be working in a open uncluttered space again.
I continue to paint away, working toward the Artist Project in Toronto in February. A mountain to be done! I currently have 5 pieces on the go. One has been with me since November - a beast! haha. Sometimes they're like that. Next week I'll be able to share some pictures but for now they're not quite ready. I leave you with a couple snaps of my studio. Good day peeps!
