July 2011

With summer holidays finally here, I have put the finishing touches to my newest painting, “One Drop” (53 cm x 157 cm).

"One Drop"

Unlike the others in the series, the focus in this artwork is one stone and only one!

During the course of working on this piece, Japan’s earthquake/tsunami took place; to a small degree, this painting was also influenced by those events.

I must admit, it was quite difficult to not add more stones as I worked through this, but I stayed the course and in the end I’m quite pleased with the result.

My only travel plans this summer are in my own mind (alas!). Time to recharge my batteries and enjoy living the life of the Artist.

Upcoming is a group show entitled “Prelude”, with the Studio Tour artists on September 7th to October 1st at the Owen Sound Artists’ Co-op. The opening reception will be held on September 9th, 5:00 pm to 7:00 pm at the Co-op: 279 10th St. East, Owen Sound.

This will be followed by the Studio Tour on Thanksgiving weekend, October 8th and 9th, 10:00 am to 5:00 pm.
