A painting evolves through a series of ‘what if’s’. You place an object here, another there, you add a colour here, change it again and again. I typically paint with lots of colour, but this piece called for a monochromatic palette. It asked What If I paint with just black and white? Of course all my paintings start with an underpainting of red, orange or pink. So there are hints of pink poking through the background.
I love this unique piece, and it is available in my studio, but hasn’t been added yet to my website! If you’d like to see it message me!

Happy Birthday Tay!
Wishing you all the best for today and for the year ahead. From a little tiny human who stole my heart 38 years ago to now, you’ve always made me proud!

My aunt just celebrated her 96th birthday. Quite a young 96 year old by my standards. She lives on the lake near Huntsville all year round but spent time in Toronto this winter with my dad. We wanted to thank her for giving her time to us, and keeping my father company, so it became a joint present from the family. This painting is the view from her dock. I added the paddler as I know how much she loved to get out in her canoe in the summer.
