The road
is sometimes
smooth
textured
wet
slippery
tears of
joy
desperation
inspiration
at a crossroads
following one way
an option
a journey

Exciting
the possibilities
with a piece

a triptych
Another cycle is
finished
the pieces
delivered to

to be sent to galleries
who will meet
the people
that will take them
home
to complete
their cycle of

Nope, I did not stop making art
just a break to
flow with the world
to create with fabric
thread
with my hands
always my hands
a break, a breath
the studio is set up differently
with a separate room
built new
clean, white
for resin coating
flowing paint
fun
joy
enjoyment
very big
and really tiny
Canvas Gallery, my longest standing gallery has just received 4 new pieces from me. They wrote a lovely post on their blog about it. Here are the images a bit larger:
Aspire: 11" x 48"
"Ethereal Spheres" size: 26" x 72"
"Source 1" 30" x 30"
"Source 2" 30" x30"
Source 1 & 2 can be combined into a diptych that can be displayed in different ways. I regard the viewer as the final component in the creation of my work, and I have been striving to create work that allows the viewer to partake in this process through a choice in displaying the work. My abstracts provide very different emotional responses depending on the direction that they are hung. They can also be changed around and provide an interactive play between the viewer and the piece.
Enjoy!
Completion
most of the works
gone
left
out in the world
travelers, seekers
finders of their permanent
home.
The viewer, the purchaser
the final piece
of completion in the
process
of creating
Their thoughts
added
to my feelings
mixed
changing my intent
enhancing it
distorting it
understanding?
Their thoughts
are what matters
more?
Their thoughts
their reaction
will make my seekers
be loved, accepted, wanted, acquired
To enable me to keep
my living
my creating
in the flow.
When the end is here
for me
some day
guaranteed
my pieces will continue
to be
alive. here. bringing joy. existing. loved.

On my iPod:
Fall of Giants (I did not like this the way I liked Pillars of the Earth),
The Dark River
The Golden City
There are another two new galleries that now carry my work:
Galerie D'Art Internationale in Quebec City
and
Galerie d'Art Solange Lebel in Drummond, Quebec.
As promised, some of the finished paintings incorporating the elements in Post # 31
A new style of work, a whimsical feel, an altered return and yet a newly developed series of pieces. Another part of me laid bare to the world.
In 2009, there was some playing at the studio
Old photographs, reworked with sandpaper, paints, fun, process. Inspiration for new direction of work, or simply having fun and nothing creatively is ever wasted. Everything leads to something. What–time will tell-or show-or sneakily insert into other pieces…. stay on your toes, you do not know what you might see.
Details have been added to some of the boats. This is the stage where things slow down. A lot. Each piece of work is studied, reflected upon, pondered about.
