Salem our studio cat from a few years ago. He used to sun himself at the entry skylight at the top of the stairs. He was bonkers. He would suddenly jump up in the air with all fours. There were 22 artists in this old turn of the century building. early 2000's. The real estate agents came. The end.

Are you the same Scott Gustafson that painted Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs?

Her face reminds of the works of Tamara de Lempicka

It looks as if two different artists did this work. When you look at the man in foreground and the other figures there is a such a different style. My two cents.

Yes totally agree. What a night it was. Hopefully the future for Canada will rebound and we move forward to look after ourselves and trade with reasonable international partners.

Oh man, you are so right. I walked over to the polling station this morning with my husband, just down the block from us and voted Carny. The US president is driving us Canadians nuts with his stupid talk.

Some progress today. Need to wait 3 days to continue, oil on canvas. Struggling to find my voice again after a solo show last summer. My mind is mush, so to keep busy, right now I'm doing flowers.

Studio day today: I'm calling this one: " I Forgot my Glasses Today." and yes I did forget them. But didn't want to drive the 5 k to go home and get them. Not too bad for an under layer and half blind artist.

They look a bit like sand storms or sand dunes.

This is the front of the Fire Hall that I used to share basement studio with 6 other artists. It was built in the early 1900s.

Just finished this one today at my studio. It needed some editing, took out some blossoms and added more darks.

As an author, about to self publish, I can't afford the rising costs of printing either by a printer or Amazon with the tariffs that are so outlandish, what is one to do? Wait? My husband is also an author and has published in the past without a publisher or agent. It sucks.

Oh, yes read this one many years ago. Very creepy.
