An artist who has been painting Newfoundland and Labrador for over 40 years.
Nice. All I have are my paintings of a Labrador on a Newfoundland wharf, a Newfoundland in a Labrador Gale, and a Labrador and Newfoundland in Newfoundland & Labrador. (lol)

I use heavy paper (140lb or heavier) & tape it down to a board. My only request for Christmas this year was a new wooden board large enough to fit an 18" X 24" sheet.
I used my previous board to patch a hole in the back porch floor.(lol)
This shows my new board and below is a small piece taped down.

Even in the darkest, coldest days, there is joy to be found.

"Building a Snowman in Green's Harbour" (2023) 21" X 29" acrylic on paper painting by Reilly Fitzgerald.

As artists it is our job and nature to remind people of this and try to bring a little joy and light to our often dark cold world.

Guess which country is currently sending workers familiar with "severe cold" conditions & fixing the aftermath of such weather, to the U.S. to help out its neighbours?
Because it's the right thing to do.

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.
