This summer I had a client asking for a diptych for her 2 little girls, and a gallery that was telling me that their clients were finding that my work was too dark, that they liked the brighter colours. So I started on these small ones in acrylic, where I was trying to keep things simpler - colours fairly pure and with a lot of white. I noticed the contrast between these small guys and the ones on the other wall on the shelf, which had gotten much darker.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
It was helpful to have this section set up, because when I was working on something else, I'd place it alongside of these ones and then it was easier to tell if it was getting dark or muddy. Otherwise it's sometimes hard to tell that your work is getting so dark, until you have something really bright to contrast it with.</div>

Also, how by her not quite knowing what is impossible, sometimes allows for its possibility.<br /><br />With these latest paintings, I mostly began with images of children’s rooms, continuing my exploration of spaces; our ideals vs. the actual lived in space. These starting points for the paintings were gradually transformed by editing out some elements, covering up, messing up, or scratching away to get some things back, and allowing the paintings to take on a life of their own. With this way of working, the ending point is usually a surprise.<br /><br />The process relates to the way in which we can have an ideal for a child’s room, more like a showroom, and the contrast with the actual inhabited one, where the presence of a child transforms it completely, bringing mess and life and magic into the space. </div>Unknownnoreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-300252704274733157.post-84025142731192552242008-11-01T11:28:00.006-04:002008-11-01T11:45:21.402-04:00Gallery at 129 Ossington, in Toronto, nov. 6-29<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLzAwdFDDkhCkN_MdzVshcQISaaJa3YxkdlBh5nmXKyjqcpgobrt49ZdwVg5FsWoK20FaUZQWzKbJkFLj_EidDdhV6NOX47FsI9e2HUfdc4K-XzYEJYqm31Bj40Yz8Z8tSFXF19Dz4Xs/s1600-h/souvenirs+adoucis.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263713403397237138" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhcLzAwdFDDkhCkN_MdzVshcQISaaJa3YxkdlBh5nmXKyjqcpgobrt49ZdwVg5FsWoK20FaUZQWzKbJkFLj_EidDdhV6NOX47FsI9e2HUfdc4K-XzYEJYqm31Bj40Yz8Z8tSFXF19Dz4Xs/s400/souvenirs+adoucis.JPG" border="0" /></a><strong> Souvenirs adoucis</strong></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">36"x36", oil/mixed media on canvas, 2008.</span></div><div align="center"><span style="font-size:85%;">.</span></div><div align="center"></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5vG-Rht-OW6lMKQaNRXehGut6d_Iw4jK_ScNIidN4rGUMftGtdcL5ZEgHp34WSJZZxCPCmK3CczhPiiIEkoAPhBy86oY5bYYPd03XD0kOGPRiX2xusH90B1A7mnZV53zS7rpiPYj2kQI/s1600-h/a-l_djaballah+hanging+boxes.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5263713051991412194" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 400px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 395px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj5vG-Rht-OW6lMKQaNRXehGut6d_Iw4jK_ScNIidN4rGUMftGtdcL5ZEgHp34WSJZZxCPCmK3CczhPiiIEkoAPhBy86oY5bYYPd03XD0kOGPRiX2xusH90B1A7mnZV53zS7rpiPYj2kQI/s400/a-l_djaballah+hanging+boxes.jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><div align="center"><strong>Tangling and Untangling</strong> </div><div align="center">Lines evoke several metaphors for us: following the line of a story, hanging by a thread, connecting the dots, tying up loose ends.
