This is what an intellectual leader, who wants effective change to help those who elected him during a time of economic and international crisis, sounds like. It's not as "clearly stated" as "they are eating the dogs" or "a boat landed there hundreds of years ago" but it's how real leaders sound.
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

"Pop's Old Cellar" (1989) 20" X 16" oil on canvas painting by Reilly Fitzgerald.
One of my earliest examples of a piece inspired by a scene in our "backyard" with a personal connection. This was our first year on the Gould's Road, Cupid's Crossing, NL. My first stretched canvas from scratch. 1989

"Surge" (2023) 16 X 20" acrylic on mounted wood panel painting by Reilly Fitzgerald.
One of two pieces I titled "Surge" which I guess happens with increased time and decreased memory. (lol)

"The Aftermath: Snowstorm" (2020) 24x36 acrylic on canvas by Reilly Fitzgerald.
Six years ago St. John's, NL saw almost 80 cm of snow fall overnight with almost 140km winds. This year we have the wind, but thankfully not the snow, yet.
My painting commemorates that historic event: "Stormageddon".

I have been working on a project with Plumleaf Press for a very special anniversary coming up later this year. Here is detail from an illustration (which may or may not appear in the book) to give you a hint, until I get the full clearance to share the news.
Have a great day, from NL, Canada.

"Remnants of the Summer Sun" (2015) 20 X 16" acrylic on canvas by Reilly Fitzgerald.
Symbolism and double meaning in this one as both the summer sunshine and verdant life (sunflower) are much less at this time of year.
Inspired by one stalk in our NL garden over a decade ago. #canadianartist

In progress... My first dive into the paints for 2026.
I frantically started this one yesterday just before a 12-13 hour "crash". I don't know where I am going with this one but I suspect it won't be "too far" more.
We'll just have to wait and see.

"Snow on the Line" (2020) 10" X 14" acrylic on paper painting by Reilly Fitzgerald.
Our actual clothesline (Clarenville, Newfoundland) is an image that can mean so much for some people who grew up with this common part of life (...and who still do.)

"Playing in the Snow, Wabush" (2023) 18 X 24 acrylic on canvas by Reilly Fitzgerald.
A vignette of childhood in Wabush, NL (Bond Street for those who are curious -we lived on Anderson) in the 1970s. I think it captures a moment of pure joy.
