An intensive working day today, both painting and getting
ready for school. A couple of facts:

Next weekend I'm participating in the St. Clair Artwalk
Studio Tour
. If you're interested in finding out more
so you can attend my open studio, please email me
at the above address. My studio will be open
Saturday and Sunday from 12 noon until 4 p.m.


Me talking about a painting to a
visiting friend at last
year's tour of my studio
during St. Clair Artwalk

I have about 50 paintings for sale at the studio tour,
most of which you've seen on the blog.

Okay. Tonight's painting is a quick study of a
footed china dish of our large, delicious market
tomatoes picked up yesterday. Thanks to the farmer
from Picton who has raised a perfect crop of
beefsteak tomatoes. Today I was taking a break from
my larger work and the sun hit these beauties in such
a perfect way that I had to get catch the moment,
and did this small painting.

Early to bed tonight.

Have an oh-boy-it's-Monday day.
