Today’s post is the finished version of Island Preserve. Thoughts go out to all the P.E.I. fishers as decisions are being made about the spring lobster fishery. Stay safe everyone.

Island Preserve – W.I.P.
I’m working on another “Lobster” just hanging in a jar keeping an appropriate distance from all of the other lobsters.
Preserved Lobster
Today’s post is the finished version of “Preserved Lobster”. He’s feeling a little isolated, he can’t get out and socialize as much as he used to. I wonder what that’s like.
Licorice Treat
Today’s post is of a companion piece to “Licorice Tower”. These paintings of illuminated candy towers are always a treat to paint.
Licorice Tower
Today’s painting is an example of my enduring affection for the Lego of the candy world, commonly known as licorice all-sorts.
Duck!
It’s been fun to paint this little yellow bit of rubber. It’s a blustery winter day outside and there is nothing on the horizon but variations of pale grey. The bright yellow of “Duck!” adds a bit of sunshine to an otherwise dreary cold January day.
Preserved Skates
Growing up in Canada learning to skate is a national requirement. I have early memories of making my way to an outdoor pond and putting on a pair of too large skates (familial hand me downs), tentatively pushing around a wooden chair on the slick frozen surface and in the end doing my best Bambi on ice impression. My skating has improved over the years, but not too much. Today’s post is one of my “Preserves” in it I have preserved a pair of the ubiquitous footwear of my homeland.
