Pieces sold

 Hi everyone.  

Inspiration - and taking time to do art - has been finally happening.  Life is getting more and more healthy.  An earlier start to my day has given me time to work regularly so that I always have new ones on the go.

At this point I have 5 new pieces on the go, at different stages of production.

I have brought three or four new pieces to the Historic Gardens gift shop: https://historicgardens.wordpress.com/the-garden-shop/

King Street Gallery https://www.kingstgallery.com/  has been amazing - a place for my pieces to be seen and sold.  For the first time in my career as an artist (that sounds very strange) there is a need to make more trees.  I presently have three trees there for sale.  They are a bigger style tree - made with coarse wire.

I am looking forward to the leaves falling - to better see the shape of the trees around me!  I had some friends try to convince me of the value of autumn as a season.  May-be the camp fires and lovely walks in the woods can change my opinion of the fall season.


Piece I made for my brother in Nova Scotia.  He brought me the amethyst so I offered to put a tree on it. It is a Fukinagashi Bonsai style (windswept)

Trees in January

Here is a tree that has had a great voice.  It has a sad story - losing the main trunk, but because of a strong branch, the tree is thriving.  New branches are growing to fill the empty space.  Nature always does that.  It hates a void, and new life rushes in to enjoy the free space and the sun. This is a cute little tree.  I was trying a new style - and I like the effect.  It looks like it is stuck not only in the wind, but also the rain! Another new piece actually breaks the rules of Bonsai by having two branches come out at the same height on the trunk.  I've called it Life Over Death.  It sits on a fossilized rock and is continuing, persevering, growing, in spite of tragedy.  The last tree I'm going to show has been a long time in coming.  It has been like a wild beast, not wanting to look nice and tame - ready to find a new home.  It seemed happy to sit comfortably ...

Tree Story: a Life Program

Image
 Hi everyone, I want to let you know about a fun project I have been working on.  For now, I am calling it:   Tree Story: a Life Program .     This hybrid learning experience pulls together components of an academic course, life coaching, and an art workshop into one holistic program .  Here are a few benefits of taking this program:      It can help direct your personal life goals.      It can help you find your voice and use it in the world.      It can prepare you for greater life involvement.     It can empower you to grow with people different from you.     It can give you something to share with others - your story expressed in art. First , a brief overview of the history of Western Civilization will help situate ourselves in Canadian society.  This course looks at the development of civilization in the West from the Middle Ages to today so that we can understand how we got to the ...
