Children celebrate the Chinese New Year with traditional red silk outfits, leisee envelopes and decorating dragons. Cute eh?

A montage of pics converted to an animated gif. I had to reduce the number of colours for the effect.

Actually a few Sundays, maybe Tuesday and Friday as well. I used tape to create borders which merge with the various movements in this 54"x78" acrylic painting. Also several small pieces were created along the way.

I created this animated gif in painter to show the process of manipulating a photograph into a digital drawing. It may take a few moments to load on your browser. Some of the drawing information becomes obscured and obliterated entirely as I anticipate new moves before settling upon a final solution. In that aspect it is quite a bit similar to painting for me, just a whole lot faster with so many effects available in the tools.

It was a cloudy day...
Once I had a conversation with a curator who told me that great Canadian art was hued with grey. This photo collage should satisfy the agenda.

I spent my holiday hiking around on icy trails behind the arena. This one branch captures the sub-zero weather and spirit of the days.

Makes me buggy!
I visited an interesting installation of thousands of insects with my friend Claude Breeze yesterday at the Textile Museum of Canada. The artist Jennifer Angus pins these bugs directly to the walls in intricate patterns. The exhibit is called "A Terrible Beauty". There are two more pictures on flickr.

Here is my 2nd 4'x8'. I had this one flat on the floor for a while in order to break the left to right gestures that I usually create. I think it also works vertically, but tough to photo in the studio light conditions.

blues
Keeping the spirit going during the Blues show on the fm channel. I kept some guitar shapes to match the riff lines.

This is a great compliment to the previous jazz inspired image, imagine saxophones somewhere and you'll catch the groove.

This image was created while listening to my favorite radio station: Jazz FM. I think that music influences the process.

This vertical image reminds me of a giant walking across the land, looking down at rivers and stuff.

It's a busy time of year at school as the Holidays draw closer. The children love to work on mural paintings to decorate the classroom. It is interesting to watch them work together exploring the materials and techniques for a large picture. When completed it will be displayed on the door of the classroom.

Remember the works of French Canadian painter Alfred Pellan?
A bit of that feeling in this image.

Abstracted to the nth degree with layers, this mark making captures a look which echoes some of happening 80's painters.

I used stand on the bridge above the falls and watch shapes in the foam. This image captures a bit of that feeling.
