A O'Blog

My son, at one of our favourite "power spots", a place called High Falls, just north of Bancroft, Ontario. One of my favourite places in the universe since I first went their as a child in the early 1950s.

Oil on canvas, 20" x 22"

This is a portrait commissioned by my nephew's wife for him, as a surprise gift for his birthday which is August 15. I aimed to really bring out the personality of each child -- quite easy, actually, because they were all so very different.

A little about the girl on the left: she was born with serious birth defects that affected her skull, spine and legs and had to endure dozens of operations at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto. She is barely 4 feet tall but has the heart and courage of a tiger. At 18, she has just graduated high school and is heading to Ryerson University in T.O. (the same school from which my oldest daughter graduated with a photography degree this spring) to study fashion design. I take a lot of inspiration from her!

about me
I'm a painter, photographer, writer and transpersonal psychotherapist. I show my paintings, drawings and photography professionally and have self-published 2 books of poems and photography and a children's book about meditation. I have been a practicing Buddhist for the last 10 years. I am twice divorced and the father of 3 children. Since I was shut out of shared parenting of my children by both ex-spouses, I have devoted much time to the issue of Fathers' rights in family law.
