outside

I like that red car car and the scaffold are the spark of colour in an otherwise dreary landscape. The new studio design is dynamic, but cannot compete with November skies and bare trees,... in fact I think they complement each other in their starkness.
The sink is now inside, with running water from its taps...(too much; as the taps leak...) sigh.
Now my job is to organize it all, get it all in order so I may create chaos, disorder and the sometimes frenzied, sometimes measured activity, that happens inside a studio.

Now this is a Neat sign.....Neat Coffeeshop in Burnstown Ontario asked me to create their new sign on the brick face of their building, letting folks know that they have coffee, wood oven pizza and live music......

Up high, no drugs!

Images of the Madawaska

Recently I was asked to be apart of an exhibit at South of 60 Arts Centre in Barrys Bay Ontario, regarding the Madawaska and Bonnechere River watersheds. Since water features prominently in some of my work, I took up the challenge. Instead of creating my usual stone and water images, I wanted to look at the rivers in a new way. I live across from the Madawaska and she has been part of my life for the past five years now. I love her, she is deep and dark, she flows with strength and purpose. I love the way the spring waterfalls show up crating into her with urgency....

You can see my pieces among the other beautiful works created for this event, at the link here http://www.bonnechereriver.ca/watershed---a-virtual-art-exhibit

Several of these fine works will be on display soon, after July 22 at the Neat Coffee Shop in Burnstown Ontario ....within shouting distance of the Madawaska River...
