"Sometimes in the Dead
of Winter I Dream of
Summer" (right)
block print and watercolour
size approx 5 x 5
unframed $275 CAD
SOLD
The woodstove is your lifeline when you
live in northern Ontario where winter
temperatures plummet to -40 Celsius.
You are ever so grateful to the stove for
supplying you with its luxuriant heat.
But, on those extra-cold days, when you
feel the deadly cold penetrating through
the very walls of your house, you may find
your mind wandering to the warm days of
summer. Those carefree days that require
no building of fires, no thick wool socks,
no extra blankets on the bed. And, you
can hardly believe that you live in a region
that gives you 3ft of ice on the lakes in
the winter and yet in the summer you can
dive into the very same lake without
shivering too, too much.

"Afternoon Bath" (right)
handpainted stone lithograph
size approx 10 x 16 inches
unframed $350 CAD
When we were young, my parents decided to buy a
house with no running water. In fact, our lifestyle
resembled that in "Little House on the Prairie"
to a great degree. This was not the current fashion
in our neighbourhood, but my parents were never
the type to run with the pack.
The people from whom we bought the house
were Finnish homesteaders and they left behind
a large alumium tub in which my mom would bathe
us in the summertime when we were small.
There were no roses on the tube; our tub was stone
gray. But, through the roses and through the colours,
I wanted to convey how I felt about those
special baths.

"In the Park" (left)
hand painted stone lithograph
size approx 6 x 9 inches
unframed $350 CAD
The parks in Zagreb were always
full of people: old men sitting in
the sun, idle men looking for
distractions, grandmothers playing
with their grandkids, lovers smooching,
mothers with babies, teenagers laughing,
young boys smoking. Money was not
required to enjoy the parks and for many
people this was a true plus.
