Things to be grateful for, Tuesday edition. 1. I own a prolific pear tree that produces so much fruit I have the gluttonous pleasure of biting into each one to decide which is the sweetest and best and most supremely textured of the day and then feeding the rest to the fuzz butts. 2. When I come to bring my many rabbits treats, they roil about my feet, an eddy of long eared desire. 3. The term “roil” is grand. 4. I have a tooth diastema (gap) that is ideal for marking pears with bunny branding. Ye May Know Us By Our Mark, the Roilers & I.

The cutest little mushroom butt, Clunibus Pileus.

Available. 12/18/12x36” Triptych, Cherry, patinated copper (bottom mid centre to right panel). $2475 plus taxes and shipping.

1 of 2 available tonight. 1. 18x24, maple burl, gold leaf. SOLD. Available at 9EST on FB, comment “mine” there and then.

A commission for K, who is lovely and who has impeccable taste. The co-ordination of the red accents was her idea (lighthouse, roof & sailboat), the view invokes Lighthouse Park in B.C., the intense sky speaks to a piece of ours she owns and the set will one day be split between her boys. We have had a sizeable commission spot become unexpectedly available immediately...if you were hoping for a medium/large piece or set this year and are ready to jump on it ASAP...you could step right into the other clients spot and have a piece in two weeks. This is the last one this year! Update: Commission Spot Filled. Also a reminder, another release on September 8 at 9 EST on FB, preview here first. The prices are ALWAYS on the photos of the pieces. Please READ them before commenting “mine”. For the first time in forever there was a flurry of misunderstanding during the last one. No, the price is not negotiable...it’s not an auction, it’s not free(!)...it’s not a prize give away, and “mine” is supposed to mean commitment. Thank you!

A recent 30x60 commission for J. The dwarfing sky of the prairies and a singular horizon line of wheat field coupled with a lake didn’t reconcile in my head instantly. I wanted there to be multiple lines, undulating fields, couldn’t grasp a prairie clasped lake. Imaginary places still need some sort of reference point within my brain to make it work. Then I remembered stopping at Chaplin Lake, SK, on our way back across Canada that first time out to Circle Craft. Take that limitless sky and compressed horizon, excise the onset of winter bleeding colour from the land, add in the rich ochres of prairie grasses dancing with our passing shadows on the next year’s summer bound route west, recollect ducks seen in blue mirror ponds in Saskatchewan’s disappearing wetlands that seem to cleave to the train route yet another adventure westward, flickering like an old movie, cadenced to the rhythm of the train. Somewhere between J’s vision of home and my conflations of memory, this. A distant farm, a life lived there, on big land under big skies, a watery respite and the birds, tides of tiny fast hearts turning on the air, and a particular cherished two, golden, like the harvest beneath. If you lived there, would it be late summer that you would start to wade through the grasses to the lake? A bit farther than you remembered then the last time you wandered down, the heat making a faint feeling rise, that you should not have spared this frivolous time, there is work to do, always, on the farm. But then the water laps and the buzz of insects cascades and the marsh reeds play contretemps to the sibilance of the fields and it steals you, you come rushing back into now, into yourself and the sky opens wider and the birds startle, explode across the sky like dreams coming to fruition and the the time taken is worth that limitless moment. You can turn back when you are done, knowing that you have a place and people to return to, some lost, some not known, but a path towards them and that is, because of the moment before and the long walk back, enough. It’s just a pretty picture. Or a window, depending mostly...on who you are.
