This Land is OUR Land
Myself and two other artists, Kim Rempel and Michelle Teitsma, have been working for the past year on a project researching the impact of the Greenbelt legisltion in Southern Ontario. There is a link to our venture on the right of this blog (Greenbelt Collective) or click here. A local television show recently approached and interviewed us in response to the plight of area grape farmers and you can view the Utube interview on that link.

I have been exercising great restraint in NOT going outside to paint this week.
- self discipline goes a long way in art-making (and life in general:D
I have been working on some larger paintings in the studio and really need to stay in the same frame of mind. Sometimes switching off to render small works just takes me away from a place that took me so long to get to...

I know what you mean about staying in the same frame of mind. Sometimes I feel like I am almost in a trance state, so enmeshed with the painting that its hard to break away. If you do, its just as hard to get back. I really enjoyed looking at these April scenes. The rendering of the trees is wonderful. The touches of color in the trees suggests the awakening of life. The "heading" painting is gorgeous.
