Sooke Fine Art Show Update

The Sooke Fine Art Show, submission deadline is on May 20. I have been busy working on a new piece for the show. It is one of the most complex paintings I have done and a slight departure from my regular landscape work. Within the coming weeks I will be posting the new piece.

I had a number requests to document my process. I will be posting a slide show of how the work progresses and I hope you enjoy it.

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!

Size & Perspective

This will give you more of an idea of the size of the triptych. I shot this this morning at 7am prior to starting to work on the detail work that has to be done. As you can see it almost covers the entire end of our house. It has been a juggling act moving and working on each canvas because my work space is only 10'x10'.
