A continuously updated photo journal from the studio, and beyond.
In the Louvre with a favourite Raphael. A friend and I spent most of May in Paris having a delightful time.
Down in the near endless details of this big and complex painting.
Tightening up the perspective on Uptown. The ruler is attached to a string, the other end of the string is attached to the vanishing point.
Reflection turned sideways on the easel. A very complex painting, I’ve spent most of the past few months working mostly on this one piece. But the start of a nude self-portrait can be seen in the back, left, as well as a portrait of an artist friend, John Hall, back right.
Just starting a new commission, Reflection. A winter image of maple trees reflected upside-down in a pool filled with its leaves.
Here, unhappy with the way the painting was headed, I’ve sanded down La Luna, the first step of a complete re-working of the painting.
Working on my big, new cityscape of the Bloor and Yonge area of Toronto.
