More demolition
Monday 23. 03. 15 I did this small painting of the demolition site at Yonge and College this morning.
Mocca
Thursday 19. 03. 15 This afternoon went with Jon to see the Douglas Coupland expo at Mocca. Some interesting stuff like the re-interpretation of Group of 7 paintings and his Lego constructions but other pieces seemed just to be somewhat random collections of Canadiana. Worth seeing though.
Oil pastel
Monday 16. 03. 15 I coloured the big drawing using oil pastels instead of oil paints as originally planned.
The Cloud of Unknowing
Thursday 12. 03. 15 I have been thinking a lot about this unsettling video installation which I saw at Trinity Video earlier this week. It is based on a medieval manuscript on meditation. I spoke to a lady at my meditation class and she has read it several times and thinks it is terrific. I have ordered the book so that I can compare the text and the video.
Big drawings
Thursday 12. 03. 15 Did a small drawing on mylar of a demolition at College and Yonge and then enlarged and output it on engineering paper. I have coated it with linseed oil and will paint it in the next couple of days. I think this way of working may suit urban scenes better than vases of flowers.
Big Tulips
Tuesday 10. 03. 15 This is a painting on the the engineering print – it is 24″ x 26″ blown up 300% from the original drawing on mylar. I applied the paint quite thinly so some of the original drawing showed through.
It has to be soon!!
Wednesday 04. 03. 2015 Painted these tulips this morning hopefully to mark the soon to be departed winter and the arrival of Spring!
