Love this time of year, so much to see ...
Using a friends camera, we meandered back country,

cropping, colour correction & a bit of mlh 'tweeking'.

New Oil - The Fox, October 2011

In the seven years that I've lived at the Lake House, I've seen the fox a grand total of THREE times. That's one wily creature considering that this is technically an 'urban' area! I know that it dens on the lakeside embankment twenty feet from the house - but other then that, not much to report. This oil painting is a homage to this beautiful critter. Elusive & magnificent. Signed & Dated on Reverse. Contact me, if interested in purchase. Framing, Shipping & Handling is extra.

Video Tour of Saatchi Gallery, London.


Saatchi Gallery Newspeak II exhibition video tour
If anyone can identify the fabulous musical score to this promo piece, I'd appreciate it. Me thinks it's Glass, but need confirmation. Anyone?

And yes, I've been 'linked' to Saatchi-online for a number of years now ...

'Finding Farley' NFB Film (62 min)


Stumbled across this beautiful little film at the National Film Board. It's a charming tale of one small family's determination to meet up with legendary Canadian author, Farley Mowat. The footage is excellent and the tale very moving. You'll be swept away by their amazing canoe trip ACROSS CANADA from Alberta to Nova Scotia.

 Enjoy!
