I don't live in Canada anymore, but my main subject matter is the Canadian landscape. I miss Canada so much and every time I paint a Canadian landscape ( which is very often) I feel a little closer to home. If I sell enough paintings I can move back to Canada. If I don't I will have to stay here in South America tossed from country to country on 90 day visas. I have already been illegal in one country through no fault of my own.
I paint every day and sent the works to galleries in Canada. I thought it would be easy staying here, I though my work would continue to sell at consistent levels. I though many things as we humans do. We make up these cozy little versions reality in our heads. I am learning to flow with reality and accept it for what it is.
