The unfortunate thing about Covid is that each day turns into the next, or month into the following, with little distinction, but artists continue to work daily.
Happy that my artwork was included in Fine Art Connoisseur and also for the beautiful coffee table book for The Artists for Conservation.
In December I was honoured to have two paintings were selected for the Arts on the Credit Virtual Gallery exhibition.
As well, I was pleased that my painting Ribbit, was juried in to the prestigious Society of Canadian Artists 2021 52nd Open International exhibition, which is online March 15th to June 15th, 2021. The congratulations notification stated "We are delighted after careful deliberation around 150 of the 666 entries were chosen, including your own. " The Exhibition will be hosted at, https://societyofcanadianartists.com/
The Circle Foundation of France selected two paintings for their new video. The link is https://vimeo.com/519892077 and you can see my work at about the 6 min 40 seconds section. Enjoy.

Despite never ending Covid lockdowns, I continued to work away in my studio at home for the most part.
These are two recent paintings.
Quiet Woods is 24 by 30 inches oil on canvas.
Under Cover is a 36 by 48 inch oil on canvas painting.
Eventually the world will slowly return to a semblance of normality, and I hope to be able to greet you again in my studio at the Alton Mill Arts Centre. 1402 Queen Street West, in Alton.
Stay safe everyone.
Back to the easel,
