Also a very recent painting which will go into the show...Working on canvas, hmmm. It's been so long. The Goth Swiss in me favours wood...

Big Sumacs, 36x40, oil on wood panel, incised, 2008

A very recent one, drying in the backyard. My studio is now upstairs, the designated "watercolour small acrylic room", the basement, for the get down dirty power tool section + the backyard, now finally clear of snow with the lilac leaves bursting through, the cats + dogs basking in the sun, supervising...

boring boring boring

black snow begone

closing time

it's a miracle

Suddenly my internet service is back, without the new modem, endlessly in the mail PLUS St. Laurent street is getting ripped up again. All last year it was hell getting home as the city fathers gussied up the streets + sidewalks to allow sidewalk terrasses, etc. + the auxiliary taxes + now gaz metro decides to change pipes etc. in forty place along our street. Is there accountability? Huge commissions about Mulroney's misdeeds a century ago but gross misspending of our nationalized utilities + it's oh well.

coming soon

working

cleaning out the Jointe, preparing for upcoming show but MOSTLY, thank you very much Sympatico Bell, trying to get my internet server working. After countless of phone calls, false "try this" "try that" from various technicians, "buy this buy that" from various salespeople + a fruitless trip downtown, parking issues, etc. it's still not working...if it wasn't for my neighbour I wouldn't get e-mail at all...
