Correction Series
Two smaller pieces from my abstract series Corrections.
Japanese calligraphy students hand their work in for review at the end of each lesson. When the pages come back, the teacher has painted the corrections on top in thick orange strokes. I thought it would be interesting to apply the same idea to abstract painting, as though a teacher could indicate with a specific colour where the artist had gone wrong.

And it was a very nice surprise to find ourselves featured as a “dynamic duo” on the excellent local blog VANCOUVER IS AWESOME:
VIA is a great blog with a mandate to promote the best of Vancouver.
Sunshine Frere is a dynamo herself, having started the Papergirl Project which distributes fine art to the happy people.
There is also a write-up of the show, with lots of pics, at Scout (another blog that any Vancouverite should know about).
And here’s the promo for the group show at Gam Gallery: Paper Presents (Works on Paper)
The show is open until December 20, and there will be an opening event this Friday the 28th at 7pm.
Curators Tarah Hogue and Julia Kreutz run a beautiful gallery with working studio space in the back, and they have assembled a gorgeous show of local artists. We are honoured to be included.

Album Art for John Galantis
I had the opportunity to adapt one of my Heavy Skies pieces (from Thirty Days Project, November 2012) into a piece for the new album from guitarist John Galantis.
The album is called “For What Time I Have Left” and deals with maintaining hope in the face of our inherent mortality. I’ll link to it here when he announces the release.

Christmas Card 2013
Christmas card this year, sent out electronically.
Tried to get the lights shaped like a Christmas tree, picking up the glow of the wet Vancouver streets.
And there’s a Japanese element, too, if you can spot it.
