"Self-Portrait in a Drawer" on display at NPCC Main Gallery

EAG Group Show, on now until March 4th at Neilson Park. I just have the one piece, my recent 'Self-Portrait in a Drawer' on display. Something different again, a mixed media piece.

My otherwise two favourite pieces from this show are both Sue Archibald's and Linda Semple's (below). Both small pieces, but I really like them. Both are quite different.

Admitting the pics were taken with the iPhone, so quality is not the best!

Toronto Snow this morning

Woke up to lots of snow this morning, well, at least by city standards. Very pretty. So just thought I'd add a few photos taken while walking the babies this morning.

Back Cover Illustration

So I'm finished with the back cover illustration, or at least with the options. This one started out oil on linen, and has finished on the computer, so it's definitely mixed media. The final image is, of course, strictly digital. Now he just has to choose which one he prefers.

Cause I created the image, I like them all.

 

Illustrations for Roddy's Book

Well I have no excuse for not blogging more frequently lately, simply saying I've been busy doesn't seem to cut the mustard. I have finished editting my brothers second fantasy novel, and decided to also do the chapter start illustrations as a new and different sort of project.

I actually haven't done any illustrating since college, so it was kind of fun. Of course, my brother has changed his mind about the kind of illustrations he wants for the book (now just wants to illustrate the animales/creatures of the book) thus I'm not so interested. Now I'm more interested in finishing my own novel and illustrating it; perhaps I'm best suited to being in charge of a project.

Obviously I'm inbetween paintings at the moment, and really just don't know where I want to go with my painting either. I'm still at odds with myself, something I have to rectify soon. It's complicated.
