Roughing It

Tent is awesome ... except we put it up wrong and found it raining inside (and only inside) when we woke up this morning. Sigh. Sketched today. Fed the mosquitoes.

Off Camping

So we're off in minutes for camping on my sisters 10 acres. With the bugs and snakes, but oil paints are onboard nonetheless. I've decided to take only two small books with me (not including sketchbooks) one on Van Gogh and one on Cezanne. I don't know much of the latters works, but on first glance the images were interesting. Already argued about the space requirements needed for supplies, but I wouldn't budge.

I miss my studio already.

Abstract Expressionists at AGO

Went to see the above show at the AGO yesterday afternoon, and will also make a second trip before it leaves in early Sept. My personal favourite ended up being by someone I've never heard of before, but it is dynamic:



Several Pollocks too; I like his work.


More thoughts later on show. Will quickly add (gotta head off to work), the I saw the Henry Moore and Brian Jungen thing - think large doggie chewie rawhides cozied up beside giant stone statues - and got snarled at by security for these:






Freezers?? Come on. Did Futureshop run another special?

Anyway, loved the Kathleen Munn exhibit.






Love the cows. Love the colour. The rawhide guy needs to spend some time in this room.
