After The Rain


After The Rain, 2008, Acrylic on canvas, 65" x 85"


The Long Crossing caught a lot of interest while hanging at the John B. Aird Gallery and two groups were interested in acquiring it. Though it was slightly too tall for one space and slightly too long for the other, I'm sure it will find its place soon. The Art Gallery of Ontario rental and sales gallery took The Autumn Leaves. Meanwhile I'm back in the studio, as you can see above. Thanks to everyone who came out to look at the show. It can still be seen here, though only online. Come out and see live art, everyone. There's nothing like it. My studio will be open during the Queen West Arts Crawl this September.
