More painting. The house sale has fell apart and we had to collapse all the other deals. Sigh. Two years of trying to sell this place. Now we try again in the fall. Real-estate purgatory. Katie and Fletcher 24" x 16" #art #artbsky #painting #canadianpainter #florida #newart #artshare #oilpainting

Last night was terrible. My cat has PTSD again. Some explosions were too close. She was running from one corner to another, Trying to hide from the sound of war. I held her in my arms, Hugging and petting her, Trying to calm her down while explosions echoed outside.

I pass the Ishihara test! It's a squirrel. Or a bear?

Witnessing a blue whale off my coast is a breathtaking reminder of nature's giants. These majestic creatures truly redefine the term "bigger than life.

The richest man owns X. The second and fourth richest men control Google. The third richest man owns The Washington Post. The fifth richest man owns Facebook, Instagram, and WhatsApp. And now the sixth richest could soon take over both Paramount and Warner Bros. See the problem here?

My dear friends are turning aloft and a barn into an art gallery. Kind of glad I'm being represented here. It's a private exhibition I'm afraid.

More work getting done on the painting in the barn. " Adirondack view" 6 feet wide x 4'8" high. Sure is sucking up a lot of paint.

I work in oil but I don't like to work wet n wet that much so I have many WIP that are either being worked on or drying. I also like to sit in ponder my next steps on some of the ones that I'm not happy about. I will be posting my current WIP today. #artist #painting #art #artbsky #artcollector

Finally have time to get all my stuff together so I can start painting up in Canandaqua NY. Sort of cramped but its fine.

Been busy doing work around the house and not too much artwork. Here's a picture of a king crimson snake that I found outside my studio door the other night. Just remember red and yellow kill a fella

I've had the same bottle of Liquin for over 15 years now. I use it quite a lot for glazing and thinning really thick paint. The colour does not affect the paint at all. But its getting low.... #canadianart #artist #painting #art #artbsky #artcollector #canadianpainter #art #newart

if i lived in the 1800s and making dinner meant spending every waking hour baking bread and plucking a chicken or whatever and then my husband sat down and said "let's thank god for this meal" i think i'd poison him
