Remembrance Day
Saturday 04. 03 17 Worked on Rosario and this one today. I have also been playing with Paper a drawing program for the iPad and have nearly finished reading A History of Pictures by David Hockney and Martin Gayford.
More
Tuesday 28. 02. 17 Still working on Remembrance Day and have also blocked in Rosario. Painting children certainly has its problems – mainly not making them look ancient!!!

Friday 24. 02. 17 I am still working on this one.
Spring is here
Wednesday 22. 02. 17 Went with Patricia to Agde for lunch today. The weather was beautiful and there were even people sunbathing.
Remembrance Day
Tuesday 21. 02. 17 Finally started painting. This one is going to take a while!
New Mojo
Saturday 18. 02. 17 I’m now back home and after not doing anything for 2 months am now full of ideas for new projects. I’m not sure quite why this is but suspect that it is partly due to a book I have been reading called Making Connections by David Gauntlett. I did the above small Dutch landscape, based on a photo by my Dutch friend Fey, as a warm-up and am now working on a larger painting of Remembrance Day. Plus I’m thinking about a series of family portraits combining words and monoprints. I have also sent prints of my Equipe Française off to the students at the hospital in Montpellier. It is good to be busy again.
Lasting memories
Tuesday 14. 02. 17 Just got back home from my Christmas trip to Toronto. The hearts on the door were Alisa’s idea – we each had to write something about each other each day for the first 14 days in February. Not as easy as you think and a good exercise in making you think about other people. The other photo is Poppy modelling the hat and scarf that Jason made her on his new knitting loom. He is trying to knit instead of fiddling with his iPhone or falling asleep in front of the TV!!!!
Cuba 2
Friday 20. 01. 17 Got back from our trip to Cuba last night. A great week – no painting but sunshine, sea and lots of good conversation.
Cuba
Thursday 12. 01. 17 Have had another great Christmas and New Year here in Toronto and am off for a week in Cuba today. Besides sea and sunshine and no WiFi am hoping to get back into some drawing.
