Whistle Stop Christmas Fair

Hello Reader, I'll be showing my work again down at the Markham train station tomorrow, Dec 11, 2011. I hope your able to come. It should be a great show it's now in it's 3rd year and I'm happy to be participating again.

It's an intimate setting and a lot of fun is had by all participating. I've gotten some great feedback from it the past few years. I'm currently changing the name tags from Studio Tour to personal tags. After that it's getting a working sideshow going.

I met the model

I met the subject of my latest drawing. It's a wonderful fellow by the name of Skye.


He along with his owner were delighted to see the portrait. You can see the framed drawing and all my other work during the Stouffville Studio Tour happening October 15th and 16th

For my first blog post I am showing my 2010 completed paintings in a quick video I have created. I am posting this note a day before the Stouffville Studio Tour commences. This is an incredibly hectic time of year for me and my family. We tear apart the house to get ready for the hundreds of people who decend on us over the weekend.

I always like to say that sales are secondary pleasure for me. I truely mean that. Not to say I don't appreciate them, because I certainly do. It pays for my hobby. If I break even or come out a little ahead I'm all the happier. What I mean is that, when an patron of the arts comes into my space and offers a genuine appreciation for my work means the world to me. I'm over the moon. I understand that my work may not fit in an individuals space or within their personal taste. I respect every individuals effort to come into my home and view my work.

Wish me luck on the weekend. Better yet, come and see what I do.
