Feeling nostalgic.......

 My latest paintings definitely look into the past, which seems to be a theme on my canvases lately.  

My newest one is of a curious building in Cargill, Ontario.  Apparently it was a general store once, but has long been abandoned, leaving the old crocks and mason jars on display in the windows.  I had fun painting it in a wonky style.  Across from this structure is The Mill Pond Gallery, a beautiful and inspiring art gallery, where this painting is now hanging.  It also includes a great CafĂ©, and ice cream stand.  Here is a short video of an interview with Kevin McKague, the owner of this quaint spot.   I highly recommend it as an art experience for locals as well as tourists this summer.
