Salvaged art

This painting was done on a selvaged canvas. I found it in the stairwell of our old apartment building downtown Edmonton, and it had a horrible print of a pyramid and an eye ball on it. I simply primed and painted over it with an idea I has swirling around in my mind.

Daves C-liner

Dave loves paintings of trains.

So for his birthday in 2003 I painted this 4056 C-liner for him.

It is from a photograph on a post card taken in 1968 at Thrums, B.C. Canada.

Inspiration

The peppers above my stove.

I love peppers, and the colors in that they turn as they ripen. I painted these a few years ago to add a touch of color to my kitchen. I got tired of looking at the blank wall and these inspire me while I cook.

And so I begin...

And so I begin the story of my art.

This will at best be random since I don't get much of a chance to paint anymore.

I love to paint, I find it incredibly relaxing, an escape, a release...

It's like I get all this creativity bottled up and ideas swirl nonstop in my mind, once it's out and splashed on a canvas I feel free and relaxed.

Lately I have only managed a bunch of scrawls on scraps of paper, but it is something...I can let that idea go until I get the chance to dip a brush.

So as they come I will share them....enjoy!
