I am an acrylic creationist from Canada. I paint on canvas and wood boards. My art is modern,mathematical,universal and poetic, like music and invokes energy projected from the brush.

Once a week - on Monday afternoons, I set out my painting supplies with a group of old ladies and we paint together.   We're altogether different, of course.  These ladies are, each one, old enough to be my grandmother.  They like painting birds, and dogs, and light-houses, and while there is nothing wrong with these kinds of subjects, I do not like to paint birds and dogs, and lighthouses.  They have, until recently, enjoyed painting in relative silence. I prefer to work with music…

Hi everybody and thanks a lot for all the comments. I finished the painting yesterday by adding som colour on the tale and some in his face. Then I took some Glossy medium on the top to brighten the colours a little bit. (Photo is reflecting the medium.....)

If you…

Hi all.... it's been a while since I posted in my blog and its another video about "Tthe  Big Picture"... I am trying some new editing software - Corel Video Studio…

OK, I know I'm way behind  on the Abstract Challenge, but I wanted to write a bit about this piece.

I have literally had this piece in my head for 20 years.  I knew I wanted to do a formal grid and I knew each square would be different but I didn't know what it would look like.

Every time I started working with the grid idea, it just felt wrong!  Nothing gelled, everything I tried was completely unsatifying.

Then I found Art from the Heart / LMM!  So much inspiration and…

It is madness that I make most of my living working on making Videos and Television... and I have not made a video for posting here.

The truth is that I write and direct others... the camea crew, the editors, etc to do the actual shooting and assembly of the film. So this is a bit of  new step for me. I am trying out Windows Movie Maker which is a very basic program, but dead easy to use.

This is the first time I have tried this, so I hope it works out okay.…

I have now assembled and stretched the new 5ft square canvas... and it is HUGE... This is the ground for the companion piece to the painting I showed in my blog post  "Did I r eally have to paint every brick?"

You can see the size of it by comparing it with the Coke can at the front right of the…

I was chatting with some LMM artists this morning Brisbane time and one of them asked what I was working on at the moment. I told them I was about to start on a large canvas (5 feet square) which would be a companion painting to one I had finished some years earlier. 

The earlier picture took me a long time to finish (over a year) but the beauty of it for me is that it is the kind of picture that I can work on a little bit at a time. I didn’t have to make too many more creative…

At around 4ft by 5 ft, this is a fairly large picture for me, getting up towards the top end of my size range for paintings. The frame is a virtual frame,  but so mething like what I would like to use for this painting.

Because of the resolution restictions of the LMM website, it…

I had been going through some old notebooks - the two for a dollar composition books that I use to record all the radom crud that comes flowing like a flood out of my brain (or as one of my freinds crudely described it, my "mental diarrhea..." - when I found some quick sketches that I liked.

I took one of those sketches and drew it again, larger, on whatever was handy - which in this case was a crumpled piece of yesterday's…
