August '09
Some time has passed & we are happy to introduce our new images.
Firstly, the Tiny Dancer series, pop art inspired cards from Ians original photography at the Theatre Ballet of Canada. This card series is pure fun and great for young and old dance enthusiasts.
Secondly, we have added a few more doors and window shots - enjoy.
August 3rd we participated in Oakville Art Society's Art in the Park Festival. Next to brilliant painters, potters, illustrators and other talented artists, we found our spot in the sun and welcomed the day.
Our images were received very well and we'd like to thank everyone who came by and stayed for a chat, or a canvas.
Ian's spring Walk '09 was never mentioned. For this I apologize. This years focus was on the Trillium...

April 30th 2009
First off my sincere apologies for not being more regular posting my comments here.
Here are some quick updates;
- Currently at Ajax City Council Chambers I have an exhibition of some of my more popular work. Drop by it is an amazing space and I feel very lucky to be allowed this space and wish to thank Mayor Steve Parish and Ajax city council for this opportunity.
- DO NOT FORGET TO COME TO AJAX FESTIVAL OF THE ARTS, MAY 30TH VILLAGE COMMUNITY CENTER AND ARENA. 100 CHURCH ST. AJAX. I WILL BE THERE ALL DAY.10 AM -5 PM
- I will have an exhibit in Cobourg/Port Hope come September. I met with the curator, Dorreth Carter early in April and she offered an exhibit in September. This, for me, is different as some people who know me. Know when I want to play hookey one of my favorite places to go for a day is Cobourg and hang out at the gallery there. The work always has something new for me and maintains an excellent standard.
- Starting May 15th 2009 you will find our small canvas in Old Fort Henry and possibly later on at Uppr Canada Village and Niagara Falls.
- Also Ariana’s Place 68 King St in Oshawa, Irene is carrying a small selection of our cards and she owns and operates a lovely art/gift store which makes downtown Oshawa a little better. Drop in if your out that way and check out some of the art from the 80-year-old lady from Ajax, it is stunning.
- The Kniterary in Whitby has the sheep card, what an awesome store. If you get a chance go to this wool and knitting store, it is like stepping into the living room you wish you had. Warm, cozy and the kind of place that makes you want to sit and enjoy.
- Lorans on Liverpool road in Pickering. Wow….what can I say this is a really cool place to visit. The whole area is very different, perhaps a lot like the Beeches downtown Toronto. Except it is far cleaner and some how more welcoming. I found it by accident while out cycling one Saturday morning. There are some very nice homes and a few small shops built with a harbor at the end of Liverpool road in Pickering. Two restaurants and Loran’s plus a winemaking store. Parking is free and good for three hours. Ann has some very unique gifts at her store; I love the hot air balloon wind vein she has. She is also carrying a small selection of my larger canvas prints.
