Road trip to North Channel before the One of a Kind Show! · Nov 20, 06:50 pm
Stu and I took a little road trip to install our latest sculpted painting entitled, Frazer Bay, back to my home country of the North Channel, Lake Huron, near Manitoulin Island.
A much needed little side attraction while working round the clock to prepare new works for the upcoming 11 day One of a Kind Show in Toronto held at the Exhibition Place!
Photos of “The Ridge” is an amazing place that my father and I used to walk to behind our house on the North Channel … in fact, he enjoyed the ridge so many times, he blazed a beautiful bush trail that went over beaver dams and through a Beech Tree forest from behind our house right up to the ridge.
A memory with my father that I will always treasure.
It was nice to be back and take in the view again. I see some paintings in those photos.

Acrylic Art Class at Claustro with Carol Currie · Oct 17, 05:26 pm
Thank you to all of you who came to the Acrylic Art Class this Sunday!
It was the first class held in the gallery this Fall and what a tremendous group of students! Each person’s interpretation of the “Erratic study” was very impressive!
Great job everyone! It was a lot of fun.
My next class will be held Sunday November 6th. Class is full. But I am looking at booking another class Sunday December 11th.

Western Islands, Georgian Bay PAINTING OF THE MONTH · Oct 6, 10:51 pm
…. and this is how it finished!
Also known as “Cory’s Cove”, inspired by an amazing young boy named Cory, who visited the gallery last week. Cory saw the work in progress and liked it just the way it was (a boy after my heart who enjoyed the ‘rawness’ of the strokes and pencil marks). You know who you are Cory, and hope you like the final piece.
Also inspired by an amazing ‘field trip’ last summer to the Western Islands … a group of Islands seemingly in the middle of nowhere, unprotected and raw!
This view is looking back towards ‘mainland’ – gone from sight is Giant’s Tomb near Awenda Park.

Another completed sculpted painting!!
One of our first large 44” x 60” Sculpted Paintings of Georgian Bay. With the sculpting of the water, and addition of depth with paint, the water appears as if it is actually moving.
