How sweet it is!

to be walking home from the cutest little bar in Greenwich village, 3am,

when it starts to rain and the cab driver doesn't know how to get to Hoboken, seriously?

But if he did, I wouldn't have seen an art magazine article about an old friend while waiting for the PATH, or the glow of the sky on the walk to the apartment, or the buildings fresh with rain against the city skyline, or the view of the train station across the cobblestone.

I wanted to stop right there and start painting !

OR return to my loft apartment that has a view of the city, pour a glass of wine and start painting - one day right!?!?

The first day of fall

This is what the first day of fall looks like out the window of my studio! Clear skies, 26 degrees, music playing, windows open, 3 paintings on the go at once, show opening this coming tuesday. SO EXCITED !

The road to Wilkie

Just arrived in saskatchewan for my sister's wedding.
The roads are long, the mosquitos must drink red bull, and there is a 365° view of the sky.
This is a view heading west tonight from her truck - it's the biggest one on the road in case you were wondering!

sharing the moment

the posting has nothing to do with painting

just me sharing my proud moment in carpentry

I BUILT A BENCH !

With a borrowed drill and some helpful hints from a friend,

there was nothing stopping me.

Not even the 40 degree weather!

The stolen benches from Beansprouts have official been replaced,

come by and have a seat!

Green with ...

"you are the light in the leaves at the greengold hour of day"

" may I find you in years to come...still singing"

A breaking moment

The rain let up as we sat on the dock at Olga.

Looking down, looking up

This is what the easel is looking like right now.

Working from one of the water tower pics. from Brooklyn.

(psst. this is only one corner of the canvas)

I usually like to be further along before giving away peeks,

but there are some lovely little things going on and they will soon be changed with more paint

I am off the Orcas Island, so it will have to wait.

introducing Tim Gambrill

Tim is one of the most amazing artists I know.

I just found my friend Tim on facebook ( fb is good for some thing)

I love love love his work! All of it!

graphic design, painting, illustration

I am always inspired by his lines, texture, palette, expression

- i even love the way he signs his name.

you will see a few paintings on his website http://www.timgambrill.com/

the website is not finished, but just keep checking - it is worth the wait!

( sorry Tim for not asking to borrow your pictures - but they were on fb :) )

The best laundry

My friend surrinder and I have been hard at work on community mural projects around Main Street. I love watching children splash paint around. But part of the joy has been our make work projects in Surrinder's massive driveway. Canvas, primer, tea and muffins, paint on my toes, sunshine, and chats about life - a perfect day!

It's good to leave the city!

The distance may be short but the rewards are plenty!

(wow, look what my new "phone" can do! i am impressed.)

the studio is filled with

me, dancing in circles to new music

watching pink snow fall

a fresh breeze

the sweet smell of my grandmother's favourite flowers

vibrations of morning strings

a warm heart

pthalo blue and aureolin hue

mixed all together and carefullly placed on a canvas

good morning

The body repeats the landscape.

They are the source of eachother and create eachother.

Stefan Thompson at Little Mountain Studios

I arrived at work yesterday to a lovely surprise,

a beautiful invitation in my mailbox to an art opening at Little Mountain Studios.

It is just around the corner from Beansprouts, but I don't make it in often enough.

Here was my ticket.

It was a lovely evening, great company and work by Stefan Thompson

Using only non-toxic paints and recycled materials his mixed media work displays animal inspired creations; both delicate and dark, whimsical, full of expression.

If you can't make it to Little Mountain, be sure to visit his website and view other works as well - there are many!

Her Morning Elegance

I love how this video was made and it reminds me of my love for little moments in life:
sun shining through your bedroom window in the morning,
a warm blanket,
the comfort of a scarf,
the breeze from riding a bike,
riding the subway train,
clean sheets,
someones arms around you,
