Time to start working on the midground over growth

Time to start working on the midground over growth around the Westin Trillium Blue Mountain Resort and the sign at the hotels restaurant ....this is going to be a very green painting I think.

I know it's been a bit since posting...but this is a very tedious stage in the new #bluemountain #westin hotel 🏨 painting. Lots of details to work out before I cover up parts in vines/foliage. *****

Other than clouds and vines, I draw every detail out on the panel before I paint...so when I sporadically have an idea like these trees being sucked and just paint them in on a whim it's very fun to break my own expectations. Almost done the distant background in this new piece. Then the hotel details will begin. *****

Working in some sky in my new Blue Mountain Westin Trillium painting today. Love painting clouds. The only real time in my paintings that is free flowing and has not plan. I just work them until they seem interesting. *****

'Visitors' solo exhibition will be July 1-29, 2021 at Elaine Fleck Gallery, Toronto. You can RSVP now for the reception with @elainefleckgallery *****
Show statement:
I have faced two culture shocks in my life. The first was moving to Florida at age 9 and being dumped into an alternate universe where tourism, retirees and locals intentionally segregated themselves into cultural bubbles and where I had only experienced as a child tourist in the past. As a child of Disney and Disney World Theme Parks, the Americana Land-of-Opportunity ‘Dreamer’ idea left a permanent impact on me both as an artist and as an outsider growing up in the 80s and 90s. When I was an adult I moved back to Canada and experienced my second culture shock leaving that world behind for a land and community I didn’t remember. I am still adjusting 20 years later. A collection of works created over the last decade explores that journey through mysterious ‘visitors’ who rediscover what remains of futuristic abandoned Disney World Theme Parks and Canadian Landmarks long after humans have vanished. A journey similar to how I have been forced to discover the North as an adult now with my own family. For now, that new journey is taking me from Florida and across Canada from the East Coast to Ontario. In the future it will take me and my ‘visitors’ much farther. This fantastical, dystopian vision will include a mix of Disney Theme Parks, Canadian landmarks and buildings and a new construction of a certain giant pink bear statue with deep roots in Toronto.
