My art is a glimpse through the doorway into the country of emotion – but it is your country, not mine.

Artwork 5 - Process 3
As I near the final 10 - 20 hours of this one, I think I am going to put it aside and and once again let it brew in my mind. Right now it has very little depth and that aspect will be a big player in the final concept. It will be on show June 20th at The Space an Art Gallery.

Artwork 5 - Process 2
There is so much detail to cover in this piece. Painting the folds in a suit is a mind bending task and at this stage I am wondering what I have got myself into. .

Artwork 5 - Process 1
This idea had been brewing in my mind for a long while and was inspired by an image of an ostrich with its head in the sand. It is so relatable to humans in this day and age.

Artwork 4 Progress 3
This piece has a way to go yet but I think I will leave it here for a while. I find the longer an artwork can hang unfinished on a wall, the result of the process will only yield a better result. Kind of like wine. (;

Artwork 4 Progress 1
This artwork was something brewing in my mind for a long time. Benjamin’s Balloon was a book I loved when I was a kid. It was about a boy who went on a journey hanging on a big balloon. Admittedly this book shaped a lot of my attitudes in life and this piece is to honour how that feels each day and I drift off to paint. .

Artwork 3 Progress 4
I think this piece is on it’s way now. I won’t post any more for this one as I am hoping you will come and see it at my show opening on June 20th in Vancouver. .

Artwork 3 Progress 3
Digging a little deeper on the colour design in this shot. I am still fishing for the feeling that I want to get across.

Artwork 3 Progress 2
Apocalyptic dust clouds have always intrigued me. Apart from being such a beautiful part of nature, it also feels like the end of the world. I wonder what the duck has to say about that.
