Cloud #39
Cloud #39 16″ x 20″ Oil on Beechwood, 2010
I’m starting to feel a bit like a cloud-painting machine. This could be good or bad.

It is sticky and icky outside: the humidity makes for a challenging work week, I must say. To help beat the heat, I took a magical day off yesterday for the first time in a while, and had one of those beautiful evenings with a friend, a bottle of juicy merlot and some seriously stimulating conversation.
This cloud marks a subtle shift, a direction more oriented toward nebula as the series progresses. I am quite excited by the new possibilities they present…and does anyone know the plural form of nebula? I am very tempted to stick an “i” on the end like octopi and cacti…
Cloud #37

It is, as they say, crunch time. I haven’t worked this hard since I was ten and my father made me drag logs through the woods in exchange for a barbecued hot dog.
Cloud #35
Cloud #35 16″ x 16″ Oil on Beechwood, 2010
I haven’t been posting these in sequence, but can’t wait to show an image of them all lined up. The transition from one cloud to the next is more evident when they’re photographed together, and will be a key component of this show.

Cloud #33 16″ x 12″ Oil on Beechwood, 2010
Three weeks ago my upper eyelid started twitching. Like a little mouse heartbeat, it pumped and fluttered on its own accord until I was forced to take time off, flee to Quebec, and spend a week with my toes dangling off the dock at a solar powered cottage in the middle of nowhere. I’m back in the studio now, and the twitch is at the bottom of a lake somewhere near Mont Tremblant.
Maybe I was afflicted because I’ve been hoarding some very exciting news. Three pieces of exciting news, actually! One is a solo show at the ASRG during Art Nocturne in Halifax this October. The second is that I’ll be living in New York City for four months this September, doing an exchange semester at Cooper Union. To top it all off, the third piece of news (that still hasn’t sunk in) is a solo show at a beautiful little gallery in NYC, Bodell Fahey Umbrella Arts. It probably doesn’t translate in writing, but I’m so excited I could rocket launch off a chair right now.
