Figure Drawing Sketches

Finallly got back to figure drawing at the ARTS Projuect on monday night. I prefer drawing the female form, but he was a great model.

Spring weather

Missing golf... had to sketch a golf course tonight. This is hole number 13 at Greenhills from photo taken couple of years ago. This week is going to be warm enough to golf, but really, the conditions are not good enough to golf. As much as I want to get out there, walking on course too soon will do damage.

Drawings from Italy



SS06 Cortona Italy

This is one of the drawings completed on location in Italy last September, that will be in show at Shutter and Brush, 194 Main St. Port Stanley, staring this week. There is an Open House on Saturday March 10 from 1-4pm. I have 4 drawings from Cortona and 4 drawings from Italy in the show, all graphite and ink.

Artists in Italy, Holiday Remembered

Shutter and Brush presents:
Artists In Italy Holiday Remembered.

As many of you know, we went, together with a group of very fine artists, on a Novack’s trip to Italy with our wonderful guides Kevin and Daphne Bice. It was an outstanding trip on all levels. A wonderful camaraderie seemed to exist from the first moment, and together we wined and dined, explored and discovered, and of course, took photos, sketched and painted. Please accept our personal invitation to come and see some of the art and photography which came from many of the artists in our company. We would be delighted to have you join us and the artists at the Open House on Saturday March 10, 1-4pm.

East London

SS32 Dundas Street, London

Now working in east London, I am walking to work a couple of days a week. I enjoy walking in a different part of the city. I usually walk downtown, so most of my drawings have been downtown. This streetscape... Dundas Street just east of Adelaide Street, measures 3.5" x 4.5", still working quite small. (from photo I took on way to work)

Miniature Show Opens Fri Feb 3

Bigger is not always better. A show featuring works 3" x 4" or 3" x 4" x 3" opens this Friday, Feb 3 at 7:30pm.  This is the 7th annual miniature show at The Art Exchange. The show is always displayed uniformly with consistant framing. Miniatures are affordable original artwork.

Working Schedule

Today was my last day at Art Rental & Sales Gallery. Over the past 2+ years, I have learned allot and met allot of great people: volunteers, artists and customers. ARSG is an organization dedicated to the local arts community with all proceeds towards the purchase of new acquistions for Museum London's permanent collection.

Starting next week I will be working a few more hours with the LondonPotters Guild, but bottom line is instead of working on 6 days week, I will work 4 days a week. I am really looking forward to that. Of course, I will still be doing all the bookkeeping for Keys by Troy. The plan: spend all day Wednesday working on my art. My new year starts February, with my artistic goals for the upcoming year being to work larger and add some colour.
