Back home
Tuesday 26. 02. 13 Got back home yesterday. Warmer here and sunny. After stocking up at the supermarket rode around lac du Salagou and noticed mimosas and almond trees in blossom – Spring is on its way! This is an oil pastel that I did of Jon on his new moto whilst I was in TO.

Merrickville
First snow
Friday 28. 12. 12 We had our first 10 cm of snow yesterday which transformed the world. Beautiful and silent except for the sound of spinning wheels on the ice.
Toronto
Thursday 20. 12. 12 I have been back in Toronto for nearly two weeks now. I have been up north, driven into a ditch and had the stomach flu. I have also done another portrait and started on a new series of drawings based on Yonge Street. No snow yet but some expected this weekend.
French portraits
Friday 07. 12. 12 I have been looking for a project that I can do whilst I am in Toronto without a studio so I have asked a number of French friends to send me photos of themselves and I will do a small portrait and send them back a high res scan. Above is the first attempt – Baptiste Grémont.
London
Tuesday 27. 11. 12 Just back from a weekend in London. Saw several shows including Richard Hamilton at the National, Death at the Wellcome, Bronzes at the RA and Contemporary Russian at Saatchi. The Bronzes and the Russian were both impressive.
