City of Airdrie

Last night our Mayor asked if I would paint live during a Council meeting and I was honoured.  Every time I begin a piece I go through that stage of wondering how it will look, I had a vague idea but added the raven later, and whenever I stop to look at the work in progress I begin to question my choices of layered colour and marks.  But I push on and in the end am usually very happy with the results.  So many of those present wondered along with me, as my beginnings are typically very messy and seemingly unconscious but there is a method to my madness.  This piece I titled 'Raven's Song' as it was interesting to me to see the process of local government as the floor opens for questions and concerns and residents are welcome to speak.  I think that's the greatest beauty of living in a democratic country, that everyone's voice, or song, is heard. PS You can watch the painting process here.

Are you kidding ? That is an incredible talent you have ! Airdrie is lucky to have you. I think Airdrie could use some of your art in all corners. Maybe at the fire halls or on the buses . Very cool !

Thanks Woody...a few years ago I painted the utility box in front of the thrift store on Main Street and one of my paintings was included in the Banner Project on 8th (by Good Earth Cafe) as well as a few pieces included in the Art-in-Motion bus passes...though I would like to paint something once again for the city in the future. I've been very fortunate to be involved in the creation of the local ARTS Society, Creative Airdrie, the AIRdirondack Art Project and ARTember and hope to see the arts continue to grow and flourish in Airdrie.
