Immersed in renovations... a time-out!

I have no time to paint these days. However, I still manage to attend my weekly group painting sessions in ville St-Laurent. I take advantage of a master artist there to address the human body...


...and the depiction of space. These exercises are bound to have an impact on my future works.

Transitioning... from sketches to painting...

Major renovation work in the house has prevented me from painting seriously over the last few weeks. I only have time for some exploratory work around the female figure...


I would like my figures to align with my faces... and in the past, I have favoured close-ups, so I will probably revert back to that...

Vernissage in ville St-Laurent - a success owing to the organizers!

Last Sunday at the cultural center in ville St-Laurent...



... a great display of contemporary art power in this Montreal suburb! Numerous artists are currently exhibiting (including yours truly). The exhibition is on until March 9th.

Painting exhibition in ville St-Laurent...

The poster came out last week...


... and luckily, it featured two of my paintings!

In gear for two group exhibitions in Montreal...

I spent the greater part of the week prepping 6 paintings for two group exhibitions in the Montreal area (ville St-Laurent and Pierrefonds)...



In responding to the "smaller painting" criterion imposed by the Pierrefonds group, I decided to smother one of my experiments in epoxy...


I thank the two cultural centers involved for their support for artists...

Delivering a commission work...

Over the Holiday Season, I spent some time fine tuning the commission work I had started in the larger Eastern Townships studio. The painting was delivered yesterday to an Indian company which recently opened an office in Montreal...


It's always rewarding to get positive feedback from satisfied customers! The painting seems to have hit home with its symbolism from India...
