I felt it in June by accident when I decided to cut down one of my paintings. I could see a whole new series before me. I saw something that was right. Something I had been looking for. All of the sudden I could see many paintings before me. A new way of building a painting. It was exciting but still the idea was quite abstracted. Now four months later and a month before my show it is all coming together.  I must work even harder now. I can see it all before me with a clarity that is almost never had.

New Painting heading to Art Toronto. 15''x17.5'' oil on birch

I have been painting a lot in preparation for my upcoming show. It has been weighing heavily on me. I take my work very seriously and always have. Now with a totally new body of work it is even more stressful. I am excited and hope that others will be able to "see" my art. To get and understand it.
Back to the studio...

You can knock me down but I WILL get back up. I always get back up. That is a true painter. How much are you willing to do without reward of any kind? Ask yourself that.

I have been working very hard for my upcoming show in November. Here is the latest painting. It is roughly 5'x6'. I have it laying on the ground. It is made up of several 8''x10'' birch panels.

Working very hard these past few days. Two small paintings finished. The large, large one is going to be one of the biggest paintings I have ever made. No image yet. It just keeps growing and growing.
