Winter artist

August 10, 2005

Occasionally, wet snow flops out of the sky onto the ground and quickly melts. Earlier, the only saving grace of being for my daily surf was that the water was warmer than the air—10C/60F versus 3C/37F. I probably looked a strange sight bobbing in the sea as the coldest day of the winter whipped up [...]

Reflections

June 10, 2005

Reflections #One The reflected image of the Peace Spiral on the pond this morning as it seemingly caressed the Split Rock made me think of: …those tiny events in our lives that have no firm basis, no longevity, yet are capable of filling our whole day with a solid sense of beauty or wonder. The [...]

Easy living

April 21, 2005

Brian Che, the current resident Windgrove artist, and I have had a string of slow, easy autumn days; mostly still and sunny with plenty of quiet time to reflect upon and create our respective art. Looking through the window of Che’s studio (once I removed him), some of the smaller paintings progress along. Outside, a [...]

What transpired within the artistic souls of each of [...]

Sea bliss

August 1, 2003

Until today, the only time I had ever heard any of Bach’s Cello Suites being played was when Maurice Gendron’s CD was in the stereo. Late this afternoon, however, “Life at the edge” took on a whole new meaning as Windgrove’s latest Artist-in-Residence Tim Anderson treated me to a solo recital of the Prelude for [...]

Melanie at Fortescue Bay

April 3, 2003

Up, up and away. Two weeks ago she came bringing sand angels, an athletic ability to jog through the landscape each morning, a mental ability to become Windgrove’s Scrabble champion, a visual artist’s keen eye and hand to put on paper what she experienced, and, a heartfelt desire to use her talents to bring peace [...]

Resident angel

March 25, 2003

The dogs of war might seem to be a dominant force in the world today, but two days ago among the sand dunes of Roaring Beach during a lull in the bombing rains, the angelic mark of peace became visible. Windgrove’s latest artist-in-residence, Melanie Mowinski, flew in from Massachesetts last Wednesday evening for a short [...]
