I am an artist. I should not have to do stuff.

Progress report. Where we're going and how we get there from here. #textileart

A good thing to remember every time you’re thinking about supporting US businesses or tourism, Canada.

Yeah, no need to include Gretzky in any of our hockey coverage, @cbcradiocanada.bsky.social. He's not ours, he's not great and he's not wanted.

Best way to brighten up a grey winter afternoon? Go to an art show! New work by artist Shinae Kim at Christopher Cutts Gallery in Toronto.

Multi-tasking. Go Team Canada Go!!

BREAKING: The UK is blocking Trump from using its airbases to attack Iran. Trump is irate. The UK is having a good news day.

On this day in 1996, the Toonie was introduced by the Government of Canada. While the name Nanuq (polar bear) was suggested to honour the Inuit and Canada's North, Toonie became commonplace. The bear on the Toonie was named Churchill by the Royal Canadian Mint.

Irony is Doug Ford distributed hundreds of millions of Skills Development dollars to his friends, including his dentist and a company making "adult entertainment". www.thetrillium.ca/news/the-tri...

Pea soup for dinner tonight.

Double tasking.

And now for something completely different. #textileart

Good job with the superbowl everyone. I’m very pleased with how upset all the mean people are.

Ok I cleaned it up a bit on the second sketch. Not sure where I’m going with this. Oh and that’s her mouth, not a moustache. I need to fix that next time.

Can’t sleep. Those fuckers. All those poor children. Tear it all down. We’re coming for them.

And just like that I'm a Bad Bunny fan. I'll check out his music too.

If you want a preview as to how the Conservatives will govern if ever given the reins of power. Look at any Conservative run province, especially Alberta and Ontario.

Prep-work photos are way less exciting than the painting ones but you can’t have one without the other. This is the second of three layers of gesso which keeps my oil paints from soaking into the wood panel and rotting it over time. My process takes 3 days. Gesso-dry-gesso-dry-gesso-dry-paint.

Prime Minister Carney is killing it here: "I greenlit this thing!"

Honestly? Use this in trade talks. Put in press releases "Trump wants to stop the next Heated Rivalry from getting made." Give it to PopCrave Heated Rivalry creators defend Canadian streaming law targeted by White House www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

The TTC subway cars this morning

Two years ago I decided I could no longer stomach putting more money into Galen Weston's pocket. I swore off Loblaws, started shopping at local independent shops, farmers' markets. It took a few months to get a new rhythm. Then a year ago dropped Shoppers Drug Mart, drove a bit further to Rexall. >>

Whoa, Rose just managed to avoid going ass over tea kettle on the bike rack again. Makes me nervous every time. Watch out, girl!

The ghosts of paintings from the past 8 years. I've caught myself flat-footed without prepped panels for a new piece so it'll be like this for a week or so. #artstudio

Hey! That's my painting in the background of this CP24 coverage of the show at Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto. Th!nk P!nk is on till Sunday. It a beautiful multi-media exhibition of artwork featuring the colour pink.

This is how we feel in Canada too! 🇨🇦

I would have put the dingo story above Trump but it’s still an odd summary for the state of the world today.

That’s a better white on the birch trees. Just a few more touches and it’ll be complete. #workinprogress #art

I’ve added to my driving habits. I shout “It’s a normal car!” whenever I see a Range Rover on the road.. This in addition to pointing and laughing at Tesla monstrosities makes me a more alert and engaged driver.

This was pretty scary to paint after all these weeks painting autumn colours. I need to do more work on the birch trees but I can see where I’m going. #artstudio

I felt like I woke up in a Charles Dickens novel this morning. Grey skies, snowy rooftops, dark dreary homes, smokestacks belching into the sky. In real life that smoke is steam that dissipates into the sky and the houses and businesses are about to perk up. #Sunrise #Toronto

Enjoying the steam and ice of Heated Rivalry? You're benefiting from the Canadian government's commitment to culture and inclusion, to the tune of $3.5 million, plus tax credits. Such a Canadian story -- diversity, socialism, and hockey. Major bang for the buck. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

New work about to begin. This is the fourth step with this image. It's a lot of work but it'll be worth it. #TextileArt

Germany, the Netherlands, Sweden and Canada are sending troops to Greenland amid continued threats from U.S. President Donald Trump to annex the territory, multiple outlets reported. #FAFO www.newsweek.com/greenland-ge...

Time for a bit of red.

I'm not the typical audience for Heated Rivalry. I'm 68, straight, female. Since last week I've watched the series 3x as well as the corresponding Empty Netters podcasts. Honestly I think it's changed my brain. Not the hot sex, not the bodies, not the unabashedly Canadian references. .../

Hello, #PortfolioDay! Blair is my name, and I spend a LOT of time travelling on public transit in Toronto, Canada. While most of my subject matter is transit related, I enjoy the beauty of a good sunset, urban and rural landscapes, and the odd sign or two. Thanks for checking my stuff out! 🙏💙

In the darkest days of the Second World War, Winston Churchill looked to Canada. It's time for us to step up again. substack.com/home/post/p-...

THANK YOU DOUG FORD! Life Labs in the Sudbury District will be closing their offices… Thanks to privatization by Ontario’s CORRUPT Conservative Government… Life Labs have been taking over by a USA company… So CAPTAIN CANADA “FORD” As Done nothing to help us since being elected…

This is still a work-in-progress but I love it so much, I’m not only afraid every time I work on it, I’m afraid to breathe around it. If I manage not to wreck it, it’ll be off to @paeartforacause.bsky.social for the 2026 fundraiser.

What was your #childhoodcinema? The old Roxy on Main St. in Markham. Sat matinée was 25 cents in the late 60s. In the 70s walking home after the Friday night show was a great time for teen romance. The building was the original Town Hall before it became a theatre. I think this photo is 40s or 50s.

Late to the game, I started watching Heated Rivalry last night, weeks after everyone else. From what I've heard, Episode 5 is amazing so I've saved it for Friday night watching. Don't tell me anything. So far the Scott/Kip episode has been my favourite. #CanadianTV

The Opening Reception for "Th!nk P!nk" at Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto was hopping! Pink is so outspoken and uplifting, it was a pleasure to be in the midst of so many pieces centred on this influential colour. It's on till Jan 25. Go see it and prepare to be happy. #CanadianArt #pink

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH

This painting is in Th!nk P!nk exhibition at Leslie Grove Gallery in Toronto which opens tonight. This is the process that brought it to life. (Sorry for the bad crop. Maybe opening it up will show the top edge too.) “Under and Over It All” #canandianart #thinkpink
