I’m starting a little job this evening, but found I was out of sketchbooks. Sifting through an old one in hopes of finding some clean paper, I found an entry from 2008 that caught my eye:
“Ahh. A space of my own. My hands are covered in indigo and prussian blue. My jeans are covered in [...]

A Bodum Later…
Sunday, February 28, 2010
…and I finished the book.
I am now highly caffeinated, and deliciously taken away. It’s Sunday morning, the dawn of my weekend, and since the dogs push me out of the house very early in the day, I was able to brew up a bodum of dark coffee and settle under the covers with my new [...]
Dear Newfoundland, Is It A Sign?
Saturday, February 27, 2010
It hasn’t stopped snowing for 3 days now, so it’s a little strange that I would be googling “Newfoundland Retreats”.
Discovering Helen Gregory (last post) reminded me of how much I wanted to go to Newfoundland and paint. I first got the idea in 2007, when one of my thesis teachers, Catherine Beaudette, talked about staying [...]
A Ride To St. John’s, Please?
Sunday, February 21, 2010
I discovered Helen Gregory in the National Post on Thursday and I haven’t stopped thinking of her since. She has a show in Newfoundland (where she’s from) at the Rooms called Unrequited Death: Helen Gregory and it is curated by award-winning novelist Lisa Moore.
Helen has a fascination with collecting things (be still my heart). What [...]

Superviscous: Works In Glass
Wednesday, February 10, 2010
This looks pretty interesting and worth checking out. It’s on Level 2 at 100 McCaul St.
From the press release:
Haunted by fragility and an uncertain identity (ultra-thick liquid? amorphous solid?), glass rests uneasily at the intersection between art, design and craft. Including works drawn largely from Toronto collections, Superviscous brings together artists exploring this tempermental [...]
BIRDS!

Posting this link seems a little futile, since readers of this blog are few and far between. But if you’re reading this, please take the time to follow this link
http://www.guardian.co.uk/books/2010/jan/09/margaret-atwood-birds-review
and read the article by Margaret Atwood.
It’s very important.
P.S. so important, I’m actually posting this while I’m at work…
Work In Progress
Monday, January 11, 2010
Who knows when this will be done. I haven’t worked on it in awhile, and then this weekend I can’t stop. Starting to delete a lot of elements to work out a lot of compositional problems.
Another Good Book, and a Few Good Cookies
Tuesday, January 5, 2010
Five Quarters of the Orange by Joanne Harris is filled with food. I’ve never read (gasp!) Chocolat (yet!), but I imagine that it was also filled with food, although of the sweeter kind. Five Quarters starts out sweet, then almost half way, gets dark and then darker and then a little mysterious. It’s about pleasure [...]
