Super pumped. My #digitalpainting “Jewels of the Park” uses one of my pencil crayon paintings to create texture. “Jewels…” has been selected by the #CityofWaterloo (COW) to become a #banner and will hang in #WaterlooPark in 2022. As more details are released, I’ll keep you updated.NOTE: This is my second image to have been selected by COW......#waterloo #waterlooregion#publicart#digitalart #artist#nature#photography #photographyart #bannerart ...

Was messing around with a cool app for iPhone/iPad called @you_doodle . Uploaded one of my blown ink flowers, drew around it in the app, removed the background and added a new background (maybe called lava) to the flower. Looks pretty awesome. Thanks for the easy-to-follow videos, Jeff, linked within the app. ... See MoreSee Less

Erasure in art has been around for a while. Some people use a Sharpie to cross out words in a passage to reveal a poem within the remaining words. Look up Austin Kleon to learn more. Robert Rauschenberg took a drawing by de Kooning (with permission) and virtually erased all traces of pencil to reveal a new piece of art. One thing that attracts me to the abstract ink pieces I created for the 2022 calendar series is the ‘erasure’ that occurs naturally when manipulating the alcohol ink. Sometimes what appears on the substrate (I often use plastic paper like YUPO) disappears and/or moves right before my eyes. Until the ink is dry, it is ever moving and evolving, erasing and reappearing as if under its own power. I call this the naughty side of making art.Desk calendars are $15. Shipping within Canada included.Wall versions are $22. Shipping within Canada included.A portion of proceeds goes directly to Bruce County Public Library early literary programming for babies. DM (direct message) your order.#art#alcoholink#erasure#artist#Canadianartist#fundraiser#blue#abstract#abstractart#abstractartist#makingart#artforsale ... See MoreSee Less

According to Tate.org.uk, ‘Minimalism or minimalist art can be seen as extending the abstract idea that art should have its own reality and not be an imitation of some other thing. ... With minimalism, no attempt is made to represent an outside reality, the artist wants the viewer to respond only to what is in front of them.’In the series of abstract minimalist pieces created for the 2022 desk/wall calendars, I kept this in mind, to NOT imitate, to NOT represent outside reality, to ALLOW the viewer to respond only to what is there.Stay tuned in future posts for more of the ‘art behind the art.’........#minimalist#abstract#calendarimages#artbehindtheart#artist#alcoholink#blownart#tileart#minimalpalette#minimalcolorpalette#minimalism ...

What’s new in the sketch journal this week? Finished a page and did two more. Such fun doing quick drawings of random faces using marker, ink, ballpoint and/or pencil crayon. Love drawing on ‘other’ paper e.g., brown paper grocery bags, newspaper. ... See MoreSee Less
