Away (Road Trip)

New Work. "Away" (Road Trip) / acrylic on gallery wrapped canvas / 16"x20" / $560

I'm also pleased to have just signed up for a workshop this summer with Claire Desjardnis
This is one of her paintings:
Cobblestones of San Miguel, 2016
Formatting
Painting
48 x 90 x 1.5 in
122 x 228 x 5 cm
The uneven cobblestones of San Miguel wind through the oldest parts of the colourful town. I imagine the hundreds of years' worth of traffic that have ridden and walked along the paths that find their ways into the heart of the village, atop the mountain.
I will go back.
I used mostly acrylic paints, but I also used graphite, charcoal, and conte.


Lovely, yes? #alwayslearning

Studio clean-up + Happy New Year!

Happy New Year a good week in. Hope everyone is feeling fine and that January hasn't been to harsh a start for 2016!
The new year brought a studio clean. Believe me. Much needed. Feels excellent to be working in a open uncluttered space again.
I continue to paint away, working toward the Artist Project in Toronto in February. A mountain to be done! I currently have 5 pieces on the go. One has been with me since November - a beast! haha. Sometimes they're like that. Next week I'll be able to share some pictures but for now they're not quite ready. I leave you with a couple snaps of my studio. Good day peeps!
