At Gibraltar Point Artist's Retreat, I was in this west studio in 2004, zooming back and forth on the ferry for the kids, trying to get something new accomplished by the process of working intensely with very few objects. I am also continually painting what I call Cabanas, those Fitzgerald-like figments who play by the water. Also included here is a section for my Friends, and Portraits. The painting Rosie I made for my mother, a great person and a great friend as well; my friend in Reading Frida posed for this, his second portrait, naked in another friend's garden on a very cold Toronto day; Mother's Robe is homage to a friend whose house, filled with her six kids and objects flying all around her, is here simply a pure womanly intelligence in a flowered French robe: thanks to all of you for helping me to do this art thing. Later that year I switched to the new space, and the light is still radiant, but now good north light. The lagoons are on one side for the kayak, and the beach is clean on the other side -- the dog loves to run there, it's so empty. When you walk through the little clearing behind the studio building, it's hard to believe how beautiful the island horizons are in all seasons, how wild the water is. Everything changes colors.
