I have a physio therapist that I have been seeing for some back trouble... but really - shes done three times as much work on my heart as any muscle that needed treating. Yesterday when she left our ...
I am changing how I do things. Here, there and everywhere. Some people might call it streamlining. I call it slipstreaming. Because that sounds so romantic - like a floating down a river in an inner ...
Long weekends are good for a few very important things: First, dinner parties. They are very, very good for rounding people up and getting hearts together for good laughs. It was so fun we did it twi...
The winning moment for me yesterday was watching Poet come face to face with a butterfly. She found it in the porch. And while her big sisters sort of fluttered around with nervous excitement - that ...
I did a good job yesterday. I was in the moment. I was present + mindful. With my girls. With my friends. Even in the carwash. Even when the girls were playing happily with their friends. I read maga...
My studio is just right. Oh sure, I used to dream of a NY loft with towering windows and exposed brick, but compared to some of the places I have spent a great deal of time painting in - this is a sm...
I am excited to start this day. I have a painting on the go that snuck up on me yesterday. It was not part of my plan, but when the rush began - it was like the others; fast! Grab canvas. Pray there ...
Random greatness: Things still arent really making sense health-wise and that fact makes everything else crystal clear. The passion. The love. The painting. The choices. The fact that where I am - is...

I have small goals today. Get going early. Be focussed. Find your groove. Keep moving. Dont sweat it. Be grateful. Make magic. Find the joy. Thats all... Just a bunch of small attainable bites in hop...
Painting is, to me, a little bit like I imagine flying to be. Updrafts and down swoops. You have to jump in and believe in yourself. And trust the process. It doesnt always look right off the hop. Bu...
I did this painting last weekend and its called Orchidée. It was an experiment on a raw board canvas. The size is a cozy 10 x 20 inches and 1.5 inches thick. I feel like I could write a long winding ...
HURRAY! Here are the iPhone 4 + 4S cases! These cases are available through UNCOMMON. They are ONLY available to the very special folks I (and you!) share the link with. So spread the word! NOTE: The...

Fill in the blank on that one. How does it work for you? Good things come to those who _______________ : WAIT. BEG. PAINT. PERSEVERE. CRY. PRAY. LOVE. DENY. SCREAM. SQUEAK. I have been doing all of t...
We sported some party dresses yesterday to celebrate the arrival of May (and my brother Kams birthday!). WE DONT DO THIS EVERY DAY, but we should. Dressing nice and suggesting they sit nicely togethe...
I have whittled my schedule down to a wide and beautiful breath of fresh air. I need this. I plan on spending my time in my thoughts and with my brushes. This week, I have 28 beautiful hours of paint...

FEEL. This is a colourful collection of emotions. Not sure what Im going to do with it yet... I am struggling. And thats all I can see when I look at this painting. Struggle. It started out as a flas...
I love painting. I love painting more than I love doing anything else. I taught myself how to paint when I was a kid. And the lucky little pip squeak that I was - my parents always made sure I had lo...
I love this Ansel Adams quote (an excerpt from this letter: I know what love is, 1937). It fills me like the comfort of warm coffee. Love. Im in a painting mood these days and Im not going to talk my...
Love, Jack. Thats what this painting is called... A couple months ago Hospice & Palliative Care Manitoba contacted me to see if I might be willing to do a small painting that would be given to th...
This painting is going to be unveiled today and gifted to the new owner. And then I can tell the story of what it has gifted to me... Today: I will be painting up until the moment I have to leave her...
Im not ready to share what this painting is all about. But IF the making-of this piece was turned into a movie it would be the kind where you cry your head off at the end. Or at least I WOULD. Probab...
This painting is at the halfway mark. I hope to finish it tonight. Actually - I hope to stay up late enough to put a signature on it. And a wire so I can hang it. Its an 18x36 gallery canvas. Tomorro...
