Feeling stuck with social media lately. With so much heaviness and division in the world, Iā€™ve found myself painting more and scrolling less. Sharing feels harder these days, but I know Iā€™m not alone. Anyone else stepping back for peace of mind? šŸ’™ #art #illustration #OilPainting #CanadianArtist

Three things I love when I paint: 1ļøāƒ£ Water-mixable oil paint Vibrant, easy clean-up. All the joy of oils, none of the mess! 2ļøāƒ£ Small angle brush ā€“ Great for dabs & fine lines. 3ļøāƒ£ Wide angle brush ā€“ Covers big areas fast, but tilt it just rightā€¦ boom, precision! What are your top tools? #Art #visualart

A great morning of meal prep for 200 with other Rotarians and friends at Durham Outlook for the Needy. #rotary #rotarians #bethegood
