Taking it easy today.

Some views from a walk around my neighbourhood this morning after a bit of an ice storm. Focused mostly on new construction in the field where I used to walk dogs, play with my kid, and do the odd landscape painting.
View of stone church against grey sky with construction materials, including wooden tresses, piled up in the foreground. A construction site with piles of rocks behind a bright yellow fire hydrant with blue-turquoise water pipes piled up in the foreground. A construction site with a red portapotty on the left side of the picture and a slash of blue pipes and a yellow fire hydrant on the right side amongst gravel and piles of rocks on a grey day. A broken cement culvert that looks like an unintentional abstract sculpture amidst the scraped earth of a construction site.

Splattered some paint in my studio today. Nice to get started on some new work.
A foam roller with black, blue, and green paint leans against a plywood board splattered with paint. Above the roller is the edge of a canvas that is stapled to the plywood. The canvas is dripping with blue and black paint. A blue well used staple gun and a foam roller with blue, black, and green paint are sitting on a ledge leaning against a plywood board that is covered in drips and splatters of paint. 5 well used paint brushes of different sizes are sitting on a board with paint splotches on it.

Lots of people inspire me daily, from my amazing wife, Veronica, who navigates the world from a wheelchair, to my grandfather who fought the Nazis in WWII, and did not return, leaving my grandmother to fight another battle.
