Back to elm street studio.
Summer has lots of distractions.  It is a time for gathering ideas, working in the garden, traveling, hiking, socializing.  
Ideas from Shannon Falls, BC have stuck with me... Here is the latest work from the studio.

finding my way around

My first full day here at Banff.  Today is a holiday here...something called Family Day.  Much of the facility was closed, so I happily went out for a longer than expected hike, first into the town proper, then up a mountainside on a trail spotted with elk droppings.  Obviously well-used by these animals.  I kept one eye on the trail and with the other I kept a lookout for any critters.  Ravens were flying about and the occasional snowflake fluttered down through the still air.  I came to a fabulous look-off into the valley below and up the side of Lookout Mountain.  Returning to the Centre, my route took me past the practice studios for the musicians...small huts, really, and you could faintly hear their music through the sound-proof walls.  From another direction the sound of an aria in a pure soprano voice.  An amazing place.

Starting to post, and finding that people know, people recognize this fellow intent on his crossword outside the public library. I am interested in dissecting my paintings, finding small parts that become a passage unto themselves. Capturing the fleeting moment, holding it in your hand, in your mind's eye, then returning to it months later to examine it once again.
