"I can become obsessed with every mark and brushstroke on the canvas. As if every mark is a note of music and they all have to come together to be coherent, like a symphonic composition - and then it will sing the song I want to sing." - Suzy Murphy

I use a few other paints for specific tasks, but by far are my favourite. Their small batch paints are an art form on there on. I highly recommend giving them a try, you will not be disappointed. The large container is Vancouver Gray, a limited edition that sells out every year.

Do you recognize these shapes? I bet you have seen them many times in your life. If you know what the are leave a comment. I found them at a garage sale. They are amazing for adding mark making to pieces. Dig through your home, you might find your next favourite mark making tool. Do you use something unique in your mark making? Id love to hear about it.

This is one of my newest favourite things. 3Inch Wool Polishing Buffing Pad (found on Amazon) Some of my paintings are finished with cold wax. In the begging I buffed them by hand. But it's a lot harder work than you would think to achieve a beautiful satin finish. The best part about these pads is that the attach to the cordless drill I already had. Art supply storage is at a premium and these barely take up any room.

"Nothing has to be logical. you don't have to explain what you do and why you do it. It's a whole other arena that you have to put yourself in, and you have to feel safety in that arena. That's what will give you your courage. that's what will give you the right to do what things deep in you are yearning for." - Ursula von Rydingsvard

To all of you celebrating Thanksgiving today, I wish you joy and love! It's the perfect day to share this tool as I'm sure it was used on many thanksgiving to make biscuits. This cutter belonged to my grandmother. I now use it to add mark making to my work. I love using unexpected tools and I believe the history behind this one brings extra meaning to every piece its used in. Happy Thanksgiving!

Pebeo Acrylic Satin Spay Varnish - Almost every painting I complete has at least one coat of this varnish. One coat if I'm using it as a fixative before adding a wet varnish. If this will be a final finish, it usually has 5 coats. Yes its more expensive than a brush on varnish, but I love the simplicity and consistency you get with a spray. I pick mine up but I believe its readily available in Canada and the US. ​​​​​​​​​
