Some additions to a small piece
Still in progress … this piece has been pinned on the design wall for a while now. I knew I wanted to add something to it, but wasn’t sure what. It was made as a “prototype” for a larger piece of work, and to try different things on it before I do it on the…

Newest work – mounted and ready
Good afternoon, It’s been smoky in Calgary these past few days due to the forest fires in Washington State, so we’ve been looking at the city through a haze. From my office, I can’t see the mountains, or COP in the distance. It’s not too bad today, but yesterday we could barely see the buildings…
