Pastry Shop

A new pastry shop opened up close by at The Watering Can. This is lovely news for me! I bought these beauties to paint - aren't they gorgeous-looking sweets? Just so happens that this pastry shop opened up inside my favourite florist shop. Yep! Win-win.

Work in progress

Hi everyone. This is my next piece in the works. Still a little garish at this point but it will take many turns. Tomorrow I have to start painting some small daily works again. I have the Christmas Handmade Market coming up in a month and I need work! Yikes! I also got a lovely commission to be completed in the next couple of weeks so...in the next month, you'll know where to find me!

By the way, Tuesday I took one more trip up to the Art Gallery of Toronto to see the Ai Weiwei and David Bowie exhibits (Yes. Two very different exhibits). And this time I pulled my kids from school so they could experience it too. They were all moved - well, the Weiwei exhibit does that to you. There is a documentary on him right now on Netflix - Never Sorry. If you get the chance, watch it!

New Work

This is my latest piece. It is large: 24"x36" I believe (forgot to measure ; ). Title to come. I really enjoyed building the layers, finding rhythms, laying down colour, scrubbing...all of it. Below is a detail. Oh - and Happy September! Hope everyone's well and enjoying fresh starts. Cheers.
