Sept Art & Stuff

September already?

Hope this finds you well, a tad late this month, I’ve been bonkers busy! I had an epic start to September. Sold 4 paintings and a wall tapestry print (attached), and then the following day my water broke and I gave birth! Here I am holding my little one next to my current painting. It was quite a scramble, she came 3 weeks early and the day before I was busy bubble wrapping art and had no baby stuff ready, but the village came together and she’s all settled in now, in my nursery/studio ~happy and healthy.
Well I best be off, I gotta get that diaper money/work on baby’s art collection ; )

Celebrating Artist Robert Farmer July 22, 1968 –

TP Welmertz Frenzy oil and ink on panel, 24 x 18 inches 2020 by Robert Farmer

Happy Birthday to one of my favourite painters, Robert Farmer! A pop surrealist from Winnipeg, MB and now residing in Toronto ON, an inspiration and a friend, I knew Rob was a real cool cat (and weirdo) when we first crossed paths over 10 years ago and he really took to my Cannibal paintings.

Lucky Charms 36 x 36 inches by Robert Farmer

Starting art from a young age, Rob is largely a self taught maestro. Working in mostly oil on wood and sometimes painting over Laura Ashley wallpaper, old atlases and repurposed paintings from Value Village, there is no subject too taboo for him to dabble in.

Caricatures of our favourite celebrity icons, Jesuses blessing hot dogs and cute fluffy bunnies in BDSM orgies are just a part of his regular repertoire. The tallest artist I know at a whopping 6 feet and 4 inches, Rob is also a self starter entrepreneur running his own successful wall painting business at Colourcoat.ca. Most recently Farmer has been struggling to keep up with supply and demand for his most topical of creations, pandemic bunnies hoarding toilet paper! Never boring, forever interesting, a hint of funny and a rare original, Rob reveals a reflection of our times and he does it through rose coloured glasses. He is also currently exhibiting at Mercury Espresso here in Toronto until the end of July! Go see it! You can find him on Facebook or on Instagram @rrobertfarmer

Robert Farmer’s current show at Mercury Espresso 915 Queen St. East Toronto on until the end of July.

Autumn Is Coming!

Inspired by my current pregnancy, I am finally expecting my first born this autumn! This painting comes after trying for a baby for a few years including a few unfortunate hiccups along the way. From left to right, this painting depicts the trying winter that finally led to the successful conception along with my family’s anticipation for our bundle of joy as the stork flies through the seasons as we await for our baby’s arrival in the beautiful room of autumn. Cycling through the change of seasons from the snowy winter to the budding fragrances of spring to the lush greenery of summer, we are especially looking forward to the fiery colours this fall. Germinating during baby’s gestation period, I tried to encapsulate all the emotions as I embark on this epic event in my life, my journey through the entryway of motherhood. I imagine a family of forest animals, both in life and spirit as they come out of their hiding places to wish us luck and leaving us gifts of fortune, fit for the newborn.

Things included: Momma and Poppa Bear, Mother Goose, a silver spoon, a red egg, a lucky red pocket, red booties and a clue of baby’s name to be. Can you find it?

Probably going to hang onto the original painting but lot of paper, canvas and more print options available at:
