Warming Up

Since October I spent more time waiting for phone calls from Doctors than anything else. I was wasting time instead of painting.


5 weeks ago I started to get up early and go to work in the studio.

Finally I had enough waiting. I wasn't painting because I was afraid of being interrupted. I finally woke up one morning and said enough. Now I start painting at 8am and work until I can't work any longer. I am currently finishing off my stock of 30/40's. Once that is done I am going to do another major project.

Keep watching!

Well I think im gonna follow your lead my much wiser bro. I have been thinking a long the same lines....that is wasting time. With the way work is at the moment and No breaks foreseen anytime soon ....I think need to take this time and dive in. Of course that means being Mr MoM again for a while but at least I will have more time to paint. Ei will be there of 6 months anyway and hopefully I will get my class 1. Who knows...I could dig up a couple more wall mural jobs too. Thanks for the inspiration brotha John...lol

Toronto Visit

I recently visited Toronto and got the chance to see where my first tryptich was installed. Bill Norgate, the owner of the piece is planning to change the wall colour and raise the paintings up a bit higher. This will lessen the blocking of the paintings by the equipment in his showroom. The wall colour change will bring some more warmth into the showroom space by picking up a colour from the tryptich. I really enjoyed meeting with Bill and having a chance to provide a little input in the hanging of this piece. Thanks again to my brother Norm for arranging the meeting and the tremendous hospitality shown by Norm, Helen, their daughter Linda, and Clive and my sister Linda. Cheers to all our friends new and old!

The Maple Puzzle Painting

 The concept behind these pieces is to create an interaction between viewer and image. The canvases can be re-arranged in multiple ways. Depending on the viewer the image can reflect the mood of the individual. Best exemplified in the TT Pine painting puzzle, the mood is represented through abstraction of the image.  The Maple Puzzle is more a study of visual observation and a bit of a mind bender.

Marriage - Rust & Steel - January 19, 2015

Some of you may have been wondering where I have been. I have been battling 'The Black Dog' of depression for almost two years. By November of 2013, I had to stop painting. It has been a long hard battle but I am finally emerging from the shadow of 'The Black Dog'. I would like to thank my family and friends for their continued support over the past two years. I would also like to dedicate this painting to Merete, our friends and Montana who passed away on November 23, 2014. I hope you like it.   'Marriage Rust & Steel'  Medium: Acrylic on Canvas Size: 18" x 24"
