Great idea! The details in the first image are all just ice? Has a great look!

Thanks, Amanda. It does bring a lot of things together, and feels like it comes from a deep place. I did a pair of smaller collages about an arctic bird colony, last year, so they were very much in my mind.

My 15 days is up, and here’s where I landed — this has been a great experiment in motivation and focus. #creativeprocess #canadianartist #contemporarylandscapepainting

I know resigning is a way to prevent legitimizing bad actions… but does it also hand the levers of power over? If ever moral person resigns, do Americans lose their country?

Awesome! I got shortlisted as the “backup” for Ucross… also excited about contrasting landscapes. We’ll see what happens, and if Trump, well…

Cool idea for a show!

Making progress on my studio challenge — only 6 days left to pull this epic piece together. I’m enjoying the heat of constraints! #wip #studiolife #bluewhale

A diptych of my studio wall. Listened to a great podcast that riffed on this David Lynch quote. The “Just Make Art” podcast. Wearing my Arctic boots in the deep snow, then in the studio, so this photo happened—-

A check-in as the new piece comes along. #studio #wip #oilpainting

Making progress, with my gamified deadline!

Playing a game with myself. Can I make something epic in 15 days? View at 14 days.
