A full moon tonight while burning the midnight oil getting new paintings ready for an adventure. More details coming soon :)

There is nowhere like Newfoundland. There’s magic in the air there, a patina of kindness in its horizons. If there is an Avalon, it’s Newfoundland. These are 2 paintings from one moment in a favourite corner of Canada. “A Moment At St John’s” & “Return To Trinity Bay”, both oil, both in priv colls.

Hands and feet. They are how we largely experience the world. Stone or soil, it’s all medicine. Painting is medicine too. It reminds us of the sun on our skin as we peek into the brightness. :) 🩵 “The Pearle”, oil, 18”x24”, available via @pontonegallery.

I’ve created 700+ paintings so far in my career, & I realise more & more that all art truly is autobiography. “Between These Walls”, oil, 36”x48”, priv coll. “Go on whatever vision quest you require. Stand on the rim of a volcano, stand alone & do your dance. ~Agent Albert Rosenfield, Twin Peaks

Painting is like looking through a keyhole. It’s the act of stepping through a portal. We find a world that’s just for us. “Sonoma”, oil on panel, 6”x12”, available Abbozzo Gallery. 🟢 www.artsy.net/artwork/heat...

“A house that has been experienced is not an inert box. Inhabited space transcends geometric space.”~ Gaston Bachelard, ‘The Poetics of Space’ “The Back Stairs”, 36”x24”, prob coll. There are few things more meditative than a wall free of objects, rooms where you can feel memories.

“The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea.”~Isak Dinesen “A Great Comfort”, oil on panel, 30”x30”, private collection. 🌊

Here are the different stages of development for “Felicia, Liminal”, oil on panel, 12”x12”, available via Pontone Gallery. My goal with portraiture is for the subject’s eye to look both at and through the viewer. 🩵 pontonegallery.com/artworks/209...
