		<description><![CDATA[Studio work has been going well. I painted for almost six hours today. Unfortunately, most of it (the time and the paint) was spent trying to match a certain hue. What is frustrating is that my tests look adequate but when I apply paint to the piece itself it is &#8220;too&#8221;. Too fleshy. Too pink. [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[This was going to be last Sunday&#8217;s post. Oh well, that&#8217;s my near-impossible-to-meet-goal-setting mind for you. Without further ado, here&#8217;s a peek at what&#8217;s percolating in the studio&#8230; I&#8217;m taking some of the characters in the Survival Games series and pushing them off the limits of the page. I want to see them as double-sided [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A pigeon joined us for yoga class today. Apparently this was the second day it has been trapped in the multipurpose room. The double doors leading out to the second-floor patio were left open for the duration of the class with the hopes that the bird would make its way out. No such luck. The [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[On my commute home from a grant writing workshop in Burnaby I found myself to be the sole occupant of a Skytrain car. I thought to myself, &#8220;I could whoop, holler, or send out a primal scream right now.&#8221; Then I thought, &#8220;Well, why don&#8217;t I?&#8221; I sat psyching myself up. It was difficult &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I noticed on my commute this morning that Telus &#8211; after exploiting every animal in the book &#8211; is back using piglets in their latest advertisements. I guess this means the animal most humans identify with is a pig. Why am I not surprised?]]></description>

Andrew will be representing for both of us, as I am working Friday and attending a grant writing workshop on Saturday. We finished his viking attire tonight [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#8217;ve been using handheld power tools and doing a lot of manual sanding in the studio over the past two weeks. Consequently, that flabby part on the underside of my upper arms hurts like hell. Apparently those flappy bits are muscle. To anyone out there who doesn&#8217;t consider making art to be real work &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I am mid-way through reading Malcolm Gladwell&#8217;s Outliers. It seems the main factor separating someone who is average and someone who is über-successful is 10,000 hours of practice (plus a bunch of other factors, among them being in the right place and the right time to use your exceptional skills to great advantage). Applying this [...]]]></description>

On Thursday I resumed work at the Burnaby Art Gallery after having two months off. My time away was very [...]]]></description>

The lecture was led by Brendan Fernandes, a young well-traveled, well-shown Canadian artist of note who, incidentally, has an exhibition opening at the Surrey Art Gallery this Saturday, September 17 from 6:30-9:00pm. Hope to see you there.]]></description>
