Watercolour of a farm a couple of kilometres from my house; October, 2018. I’ve sketched this property many times. Sackville, New Brunswick, Canada. (In a private collection in the United States.) #MastoArt#watercolour#painting#CanadianArt
Testing out the paper in this funny little watercolour sketchbook with a few splashes on the back page. The paper has a strange weave to it, and soaks up a ton of water. This is a view of Parc Lafontaine in the autumn.
Falkland Street by Mark Grantham, acrylic on board. Grantham is a Canadian artist from Halifax Nova Scotia. Beautiful work. #CanadianArt#painting#cityscape#art
From Boys to Men: The Road to Healing by Anthony Gebrehiwot
The series of large-scale photographs exposes the necessary labour of unpacking learned behaviour attached to childhood trauma.
The metaphors meant through the selection of colour, texture, and emotional expression encourage the viewer to place themself within the poetry of masculine fragility.
1817 church — St Ann’s (Anglican) — in nearby Westcock, #NewBrunswick. The father of local poet Sir Charles GD Roberts (1860–1943) apparently preached here.
Since I drew this in June, 1990 (let’s not do the math on that, shall we?), a modern extention has been added at the far end which, while adding functionality, undermines the structure’s charm. The trees — whose shade dictated this vantage point — have been cut down.
Watercolour of a house and barn in Aulac, New Brunswick, overlooking the Tantramar Marsh near the New Brunswick/Nova Scotia border. The main Canadian National rail line between Halifax and Montréal winds its way along this property, just to the right of this view. 2017. #art#CanadianArt#landscape#painting#watercolour#watercolor#NewBrunswick#tantramar
Drawing this time. My first year fine arts sculpture professor, the late Tom Henderson, lived in this house in Aulac, New Brunswick, just a few minutes from the Nova Scotia border and Fort Beauséjour National Historic Site, just off the road to Prince Edward Island. Typical late-19th/early-20th century home around here. Stillman & Birn hardcover sketchbook. 2B Pencil, Carbonpen, Copic markers. 2018. #canadianArt#art#drawing#sketch#graphite#ink#markers#canadianLandscape#architecture
