Silver Peak at Dawn - PAINTING OF THE MONTH - AUGUST 2011 · Aug 30, 04:50 pm

This piece is entitled “Peak at Dawn” and was inspired by a very early morning hike to Silver Peak in Killarney Provincial Park. Pastel like blue and yellow hues warmed the rock as we hiked around the highest peak in the Park.

Sculpted Painting of Killarney delivered August 2011! · Aug 22, 06:33 pm

Thank you all for coming to our impromptu unveiling party of our latest sculpted painting entitled, Rolling Rock.

It was great attendance to celebrate its completion before our client picked it up the very next day. (He was thrilled by the way, and already has it installed on his wall!) To view the whole wood process for this piece (numbered 067) go to this link on our site

Note that in this first photo, we still have the large solo study in a triptych format available for purchase (see painting on far right). It is 40” x 60” and is available for $5500.00.

SCULPTED PAINTINGS of Killarney and the North Channel, Georgian Bay · Aug 16, 07:35 pm

We are working up a storm this August! While I paint our Sculpted Piece 067, based on a Rolling Rock landscape of Killarney, Stu is multi-tasking and getting ready to lay in the reinforcing rods for Sculpted piece 069 by sanding and measuring, and once the coatings are applied to that piece’s surface, he will glue up the next large panel of Sculpted Piece 070!

What does all this mean? For details, follow our menu to Claustro and visit the Piece’s number (ie, 067, 069, 070) where you will see progress photos.

This also means that VERY SOON our private commissions will be completed (once 071 is completed in October 2011) and we will be creating pieces for the One of a Kind Show in Toronto November, 2011. In fact, I already have the sketches ready for the next 6 Sculpted Pieces!!!! VERY EXCITING work coming ahead!

We will give a sneak peak at each upcoming piece next month.

PAINTING OF THE MONTH - July 2011 · Jul 29, 06:25 pm

I call this piece “Surviving Tree”.

The photos don’t do the piece justice but there are some very nice ‘sketch like’ brushstrokes in this piece.

Also using a slightly different palette of colours, there are beautiful blue, purple and red tones in the painting.

It will be on display for the first time at our gallery show August 5-7, 2011.
