Loving the One of a Kind Show, now in its second day!… Great to have things getting back to “normal” again, with the Show back at its fuller size. My booth is in the Original Art Section, my booth being F-29. Would love to have you stop by to say hello, it’s been a blast already!

Great reception yesterday at Wall Space Gallery in Westboro, Ottawa!… A huge thank you to the folks at the gallery (best in Ottawa, check it out!), Phoebe, Tiffany and Ava – my collectors and former collectors, my followers, friends and family for coming on a cold snowy Ottawa afternoon. I’m humbled and honoured by your support.

Thank you, very much!

So excited to be featured in my solo show at Wall Space Gallery this month!… Starts today, reception next Saturday Feb 12, from 3-5pm (RSVP please). A selection of new paintings of figures and larger abstracts… come check out the work at this beautiful gallery, which represents many other excellent artists!

2 whole years since the last indoor show I did, the One of a Kind Winter Show at the Enercare Centre in Toronto, we are now officially back! A smaller show with many COVID precautions, but the same flavour, great patrons and awesome fellow exhibitors. First day, started with a bang!… thanks to my collectors.

Been so long since I blogged!… my humble apologies. What a great year it’s been despite everything. Excited to be revving up for the 2021 One of a Kind Winter Show, running November 25th – December 5th in Toronto. Same venue as 2 years ago, the Enercare Centre at Exhibition Place in Toronto. My booth number is H-14, just one row left of the front main doors as you walk in. Look forward to seeing you there and hope you recognize me, despite the fact I may be wearing a mask. I’ll be smiling inside, I guarantee you.

Sorry for the delay in posting!… been a busy time here in Ottawa, painting away and dealing with our cottage in Quebec. Delighted to have added The Shayne Gallery in Montreal, look forward to many great years with them – I love Quebec and think it will be great to have a conduit into their homes.

I agreed to be President of the West End Toastmasters here in Kanata for the next year… a big honour and hope I can do it proud. A great organization, wonderful people! We’re always looking for more members, by the way… we’ve been having Zoom meetings Wednesdays at 6:45pm, let me know if any of you either live close by or would like to participate from wherever you live!… I know a guy at the top who can get you in lol.

What a great charity this is… they do incredible work throughout the Ottawa area and beyond. A non-profit organization that deserves support… and I’m so pleased to donate a painting to them for silent auction, every year…

This is, some happy bidder gets to take home “Coast Air”, 12 x 16”…congrats to them, and to Volunteer Ottawa!

I really appreciate the way the internet connects the world, and the way it finds me (self-centred much?)… today, Maryanne from Saskatchewan enquired about one of my 20 x 16: paintings, “With Interest” (below) asking if I shipped across Canada. I replied that I had done quite a bit of that this year. (One more wouldn’t hurt me one little bit, he admitted quietly to himself)

So the painting is off to her tomorrow… I appreciate the business, love my collectors and will do all ai can to keep your trust in me.

Along with continuing challenges with an extremely stressed out right thumb caused from heavy use of brushes, rollers and palette knives, I have in ingrown nail on the index finger… Ouch! So biting the bullet and getting in looked after in the Emergency Room at the hospital in Ottawa. I dislike sitting around for hours waiting but what can you do?…
