imagine multi-coloured peppers, artichoke hearts, fresh thai basil, mother-of-time, cucumbers, fresh swiss chard, wine-filled glasses, cicadas singing us towards twilight.

hmmmm.

three of five images, underdrawing…

inheritance from two families on my mother’s side: A proud sign from Kennedy Foundry of Owen Sound, hanging on the wall of Circle Bar Ladies’ Hosiery factory, also in Owen Sound, owned and operated by my mom & aunt’s grandparents, Walter and Catherine Keebler.

I wanted to put the ‘positive’ image on the black ground, and the inverse one on white… Here’s the drawing

This is a huge canvas that has served as the ‘catcher of drips’ on my studio wall for the past six years. it will become four huge paintings – each with five years of painting drips embedded

detail from a painting I’m working on now. I think it’s about my parents…

The one just finished. 60″x72″; $3,350. It’s difficult to understand scale here (thumbnails are same size as my face). This one had me on lock-down for the last two days of its’ fulfillment.

View from the 3rd floor at Cotton Factory. You can see the old site for Ivor Wynn Stadium – my name could still be buried there somewhere on microfiilm to record a 1968 dedication ceremony involving Pierre Trudeau and the Mayor of Hamilton. I was five, I think.

underdrawing for “response to Selfies 1”

Hologram, from a series of paintings about music from 2001. I’ve always wanted to create a third image that exists in front of the painting, depending on the light & time of day. It worked in this one. Impossible to photograph, tho.
