It's been a while since I've posted. Building a house will do that to a guy. We began construction of our new home in November. Today, just over three and a half months later, we are at the stage where we can almost move in. It's been a marathon with zero hours left in the day for artmaking. However, over the holidays I was able to take some time off to design an image for the East Tennessee

For a long time I've had the idea to do something sculptural with one of the giant steel buoys that I've seen around from time to time, washed up on the beach. I put the word out to some friends, and it wasn't long before Mike Leblanc (welder, fabricator, all around great guy) had located two of them for use. I entered a plan for one of them in the National Sculpture Competition at Kingsbrae

Yesterday we all took a trip by rail to the Nothern town of Assen.Assen is the hometown of Andrea's father Hank, who passed away last year. We had always meant to get there with Hank so he could show us around, and going there without him had us all very emotional... we really miss the big-guy.Assen, in the Province of Drenthe, wasn't the reserved town I thought it would be. It is the home to the

I took a break from the great single-track of Lelystad, and took a ride in the Dutch countryside today. My destination was Doorn, a beautiful old Dutch city that dates back to Roman times, but as luck would have it, I didn't quite make it. After a couple of false-starts getting out of Lelystad, I headed out towards Swifterbant. From there, it was down to Dronten, and then Biddinghuizen. Riding in

I finished a self portrait the other day.Now on to some commissions before X-mas, and than some exciting new stuff!When the new year comes, I'll be preparing a new body of work for a show called "Life Lines". Terry Graff, the Curator and Deputy Director of The Beaverbrook Gallery, has agreed to mentor the development of this show and I would be a fool not to take his advice.I'm looking forward to

Well this sure has been the summer for line paintings! I have three left, and there is interest in those ones, as well...Ryan - The Bike MechanicI'm looking forward to things getting a bit quieter in town. Things need to settle down a bit before I can get into a productive working pattern again.I've started working on the exterior of the house and studio. The house needs some paint touch-up

I just completed one of the large graphite works for my upcoming show in July. It is called The Red Rail, and depicts a large wooden sardine carrier on a marine rail lift, waiting for the tide to come in.This boat does not represent any one boat. It is a boat that I have made up, based on the reading of the book Masts and Masters by John D. Gilman. A friend gave me the book on loan to read, and

I started the day up at the High School, working with some of the students on some creative options for a festival they are planning. I did a presentation to them on the planning process I go through to create murals. They seem eager to start... I can't wait to see some of the ideas they come up with. In the afternoon, I went outside to paint. It was warm enough to do some work with acrylics, so

Here are a couple of paintings from one of the nicest March days that I have ever seen in these parts. It must have been 10 degrees out there today! The first painting is from the point in town, looking across Passamaquoddy Bay to the south. Campobello Island is the nearest landform, with the coast of Maine trailing off in the distance.It is low tide.The second painting, done in the afternoon

Well, at least it is warm out!I took advantage of the warm temperatures this morning to install the Groom Insurance Mural. With my buddy Kurt's help, we popped the topper off my truck, and wrestled the mural from my home, to its place downtown. We took down the old fence, and put up the new muralized one in no time at all. Thanks Kurt!With that done, it was time to paint! I went right down to

The last couple of days have been spent indoors working on some graphites for an upcoming show. "InspiRED, St Andrews" will be opening at Sunbury Shores in July, a date that is fast approaching!"Red Wave with Buoy "was inspired by the many buoys that wash up on shore in these parts. This one is made of wood. I like to find the wooden ones; they have become harder to find since modern floats are

I have a few minutes after the first, so here it goes!I did a painting from the boat launch at 1:30, just as the tide was on the way out. The visibility was about 300 metres, and so Maine was invisible today. It continues to be crazy-warm, and freezing paint is not a problem.There were a few boats in the harbour today as it was too foggy to be out dragging for scallops.Actually, everyone is

So I started the day with a trip out to the point to check out the waves. A strong wind was blowing from the northeast, and that makes for some cool surf, especially at high tide. I found that I could shelter myself from the wind and spray with the van tailgate up, so I stood there and did a painting.Looking at it this evening, I think it captures the feeling of the storm this morning quite well!

So today I took Jannique with me up to the High School to talk with some Board of Ed people about the ArtsSmarts program that they have involved me in. Jannique fit in very well at the school, even though she is barely 16 months. Such a social girl for her age... she didn't find it intimidating in the least.Anyway, it turns out that there is a shift in the way educators want students to learn,

Just a quick update on the day...I spent the morning up at SJDA, working with the students who have signed up for some "Project-Based Learning", and we had a productive morning. You can follow the progress of the newly created St Andrews Festival Fundraiser called "Rock 'n' Ride, at sjda-racefordignity.blogspot.comAfter lunch I went out to the end of Bar Road, and did a painting of the view to

Another mild day for February... about 4 degrees and cloudy.Taking advantage of the warm weather, I headed out to "the point" for a painting this morning. I set myself up looking north, towards Ministers Island. The tide was almost all the way out, exposing a lot of the ocean floor. Grey skies had rolled in, but in the distance some slivers of blue sky could be seen peaking through. These unusual

Today the artwork was indoors... the painting of two Chickadees on the mural for Groom Insurance. They add a little something to the background; a little treat if you look long enough!I think I'll seal it up now. It's in the can.After lunch, I decided to go out and see how the trails were holding up. I decided to skip Chamcook Lake, and use my friend Kurt's access road to his lakefront cottage.

Another mild day today; about plus 4 when all was said and done. I started my day off by doing a painting out at the end of Bar Road.The tide was out, and although it was again overcast, the light was good. I placed myself out of the wind, up near a big cedar bush, and focused the work on the gravel bar that leads over to Ministers Island.The remaining snow on the island can be seen in the open

It rained all day today... bit of a bummer if you like snow. On the other hand, I think that tomorrow I'll go out painting on the mountain bike. I tried to find a bit of snow to paint today, and the only place it exists in town anymore is north of the Algonquin Hotel, in the ditches and dark spots of the forest. The road down to the subdivision, behind our famous hotel, has some not-so-straight

I started out my day with a trip up to the high school for a meeting with local music guru, and all-round great teacher and mentor, Shawn Corey. Shawn has kindly included me in an innovative program called ArtsSmarts, a collaboration that brings artists in the classroom to help students to "think outside the box" a bit. Some of the students have offered up some good ideas for creative projects to

I've been spending a lot of time in the studio these days, preparing a new body of work for an upcoming show. The work is all graphite... or black and white, with a touch of red as a point of interest. The show will be called "InspiRED St Andrews", and all the pieces are - you guessed it - of St Andrews and area.The absence of colour was getting to me, and so today I changed things up... I

Poof!!! Another summer gone!!So where did July go? I can't believe how fast this summer is going. And the weather this last month has been terrible - never seen so much rain. Despite all that, there have been some high points... here it goes!The first couple of weeks of July were split between painting at the studio, and an outdoor rec course I led at Sunbury Shores Arts & Nature Centre.

What a crazy month! I've been pulled in many directions this past month, and am just now starting to see some results from my efforts. Most of my time has been chewed up in three different areas: the trails; commissioned art; bikes. Trails I've been building trails for a number of years, but this year I've had some unexpected help. The town of St. Andrews has provided manpower, tools, and funding

So for the last couple of years I have been going over to Deer Island to help Tim Stuart, principal at the Deer Island Community School, with an outdoor leadership program he does with his grade 8's every year.We camp at "Camp Respect", a Christian Camp on the south side of the island that overlooks beautiful Passamoquoddy Bay.

It has been a great couple of days weather-wise in these parts; the sun has been good for the soul!So a couple of things to update everyone on... I have finished my painting "The Bike Mechanic", and have it all framed and ready to go. This weekend I will build a crate, and then it heads south. The next piece will be the same size, and will be a self portrait called "Preparing For An Epic". I'll

My biggest struggle in life has always been balance. I know that I'm at my best when I have a nice mix of things going on. One huge piece of the "balance" puzzle for me is mountain biking. It stimulates me both physically, and visually. This helps me keep my mind clear refreshed and focused for my art.This last week I was finally able to put in some decent miles on the trails, and boy, does that

I am making slow progress on this new painting.I was hoping to be done my portrait of Ryan by now, but some things have come up.The biggest time-stealer was the painting of a sign for a friend who is opening a new restaurant in town. Time was tight, so it couldn't wait.What I have accomplished, I'm pleased with. It is a good solid start to this new direction in my work. ( All things mountain

After a little bit of cabin fever, the temperatures have been warm enough to work in my studio on the ocean! I am always far more productive when working there.I'm very excited about the new direction that I'm taking my line paintings in; so excited, in fact, that it is hard to sit still long enough to work on them! I can't wait for the trails around here to be rideable; I sure need to burn off

Let me tell you a bit about myself.I am a Canadian artist who created a style of painting never before seen in the world. It is called Line Painting, and if art is your thing, give it a Google. In the ‘art scene’, it is what I am known for. I also paint public murals in my hometown of St Andrews, and along with my wife, Canadian artist Andrea Mulder-Slater, have a successful studio and gallery on

I thought that turning out a few 'intervals' before the game might be a good idea, so I took off this morning for a ride out to the park on the end of the island.I left the knobbies on to take in the sandy trails of the State Park; you would never get anywhere on road tires!The first 10 km I cruised at a 3/4 effort pace to warm up; this took me to the gates of the park, where I fumbled around in

My work space in Florida is pretty 'sparse' compared to my digs at home in New Brunswick, and so while down here I have been working on small pieces. The first works centred around the folks at Higher Ground Bike Co. They have all gone out of thier way to make it feel like home here, and I wanted to give them something for the hospitality they have shown me. The painting I gave Todd May (owner of

Last night, I took part in the weekly Tuesday night shop ride that leaves from Higher Ground.We left at 6:30pm, just as things were getting dark. Seven of us took part, and it turned out to be a nice moderate pace, with little stopping; just as a good shop ride should be.We were out for a couple of hours. What was special about this ride, however, was that I was the only one running a halogen

Yesterday morning I brewed up some coffee, made some tea for Andrea, tickled the baby, and left early for a ride in Tallahassee. I seem to have fallen into this pattern... it goes something like this. I head off the island for Tallahassee at about 6 am listening to Bob and Tom in the morning, and sipping coffee. I pass through Eastpoint, Carrabelle, Sopchoppy, and Crawfordville before arriving on

I put a few miles in this morning...I had to catch up after yesterday's brush with consumerism( shopping!!). I rode out to the state park on St George Island, and was feeling good, so on the way back I decided to head across the bridge for Eastpoint and then Apalachicola. The views are great from the bridges; you can look down on the oyster fishermen working the bay and see dolphin searching for

The baby woke me up this morning...she was just a little fussy. I held her hand a few minutes until she fell back asleep. We pushed her a little too far yesterday by taking her shopping. We didn't get back until 9;00, well past her bed time. I'm suprised she isn't grumpier this morning! Anyway, I'm up ......time for the world's best waffles. They go something like this.In a mixing bowl mix

I've been putting off starting a blog for too long.... today's the day! I've gone with Life Lines as a title. Life as in "my life", Lines as in "line paintings". ( It's the best I could come up with on THIS day....lets face it; I'd rather be riding!) Nothing but good times to follow.
