Wolfe Island’s Wind

Wolfe Island Wind farm is a an omnipresent part of life for some people on the island, but for other’s it is simply a part of the landscape.  Do you think it is an environmental move forward, or a mass of metal that pollutes with sound and size?  So many quixotically charged these giants before they were there and others invited them into their hearts.

Love them or hate them, the wind farm is now a part of the everyday visual intake of those who live on and around the island.  Looking South from Kingston these giants are pretty hard to miss.

Ancaster Mill: Through Bill Watson’s Lens

24 x 24 Acrylic

I have adjusted this painting, and the title, because I visited Ancaster Mill on March 12, 2012 and found that my perception of the fireplace was wonky.  I also found that this beautiful scene is actually a fantastic reconstruction by a landscape firm because the old falls itself was left in a bad state because of sloppy human intervention.

So here it is again.  Thank you to Bill Watson, of Hamilton, for allowing me to use his photograph.

Woman in Bed ~ Self Portrait

This is a total spur of the moment self portrait.  It is Grammy time and I hoped to say something about women “accidentally” having their nipples show. I am not sure about you, but for me, my nipples never hung out, escaped or malfunctioned even once unless I wanted them to do so. Seems to me that Hollywood makes a HUGE issue out of sex, nudity and the human body in general when it comes to these things but not a word when people’s heads are blown off or whatever kind of gratuitous violence that they can muster up.

It was not what I set out to paint, but what showed up.

My hair is not as good as this.  It is like, my friend, Velda’s hair – which is lost to her now because of chemo.  Here is the painting which is 24 x 24 acrylic.
