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.
