Sky Light
mixed media on canvas
45w x 51h
Keeping it minimal was difficult with this one, mainly because of that black arial shape stitched almost in the centre - visually heavy, it needed to be balanced. I wound up painting more areas than I had intended, but I think it has worked out ok in the end.

These are the people that live in the city:
Unmaking The Pattern
pencil and acrylic on paper
12w x 22h approx.
A few before & after pics. Unfortunately as the camera battery dies the photographs go more yellow - please try to imagine the natural canvas colour unchanged from "before" to "after"!

and again
I went to Vancouver a few days ago and took this photo while walking over the Burrard Bridge.
Since returning to Calgary I've been happily working away in the studio.
The following images show a series of little paintings which has been gradually developing over the last few months. Whenever I use oils (not often these days) and have leftover paint, I work on them. They are all 12x12" on wood panel, and all have various textured materials collaged onto the panel. Some are finished, some not.
These are the brushes I used last time I worked on those 12x12 panels:
I do love taking photos of my brushes, they are my friends!
Some more new pieces underway:
45w x 51h
62w x 25h
23w x 31h
And a few photos of things I see almost every day:
the building across the street from the studio, with evening light effects
cycling along the river path on my way home, this is towards home
and this is looking back towards downtown
a little painting that hangs on the wall in the computer room, shining in the sun
