I live and work in midtown Toronto, I am lucky that I can wake up in the morning and walk into my studio in my pyjamas. I try and get up earlier than my dog Rigby, so I can work for an hour or so before I take him for his morning walk. It just gives me time to focus on what I have planned for the day or week. It is really productive time for me.
Here is what I mean about my morning walk:
Living alone I normally eat out a lot, meeting friends for lunch or dinner, or eating at friends' homes. I love cooking, but scaling it back to keep it meals for one is a challenge. So I am eating lots of leftover meals. Its adding to the feeling of Groundhog day when you have butter chicken 4 meals in a row. I drink coffee in the morning, and wine in the late afternoon. Don’t judge me!
In times like this when there are no deadlines or art shows to produce work for I often play with my paintings. I work on paper and do some abstracts just for fun. I feel like a kid, I don’t really have a roadmap when I paint an abstract like I do when I paint something representational.
I listen to podcasts a lot while I paint. I try not to listen to too much news, I haven’t heard any news other than that about COVID-19 or the price of oil. But even my podcasts are becoming different viewpoints on the Pandemic; I think I need to revisit some disney movies.
Thanks Eleanor for the update, studio tour & beautiful imagery.
