Learning From Lawren Harris
Winter Mounatins, 2021
Oil on canvas
A really big study of a painting by a really big artist. The painting upon which this study is based, is one of the
many beautiful paintings created by Canada's Lawren Harris. Harris is one the greatest, in my opinion, and any time spent learning from his work,
is time well spent.

L'hommage
Ceci n'est pas une poop., 2020

Translation: “This is not a poop”. Bathroom humor, surely. Or is it? If it's not poop, then what is it? A hommage to the french surrealist RenĂ© Magritte, and his masterpiece The Treachery of Images.
“Davie...”
Memories of Childhood #1, 2020
Oil on canvas
Television held a firm grip on my education as a child, and this particular character played a very unique role: presenting Christian morality and virtue. Davie stands out as unique because, unlike his peers: Mickey, Kermit, Big Bird, Gumby (same creator btw) and the countless other religiously ambiguous characters, Davie was an ambassador from the world of Christianity. That the characters David and Goliath were based on King David and Goliath (the Giant) from the Old Testament, proposes the show as a commentary on the differences between the old, child-like, Hebrew Tribal way of living (the way of a child), and the more evolved Christian way (the way of his parents). Despite his name being derived from the old testament character; Davie was a Christian claymation boy, Not Hebrew, or Judaic; he was teaching Christian values by making mistakes and being corrected by his parents and other adults.
Together with his dog, Goliath, Davie dealt with all of childhood's problems from the perspective of a child who was being raised as (learning to become) a Christian. His entire family was featured in the show, with his parents presented not only as guardians and caregivers, but also as his Christian teachers: teaching Christian morality to Davie to help him become a man.
