Here’s a glimpse of what the final finish will look like. This is the deck of one of our boats, 'Muskoka,' showing the final mirror-like finish.

Here’s a nice side profile of our latest build. The locally made rope fenders add a great touch.

Here’s a classic build we completed recently. The twist is that it features a contemporary seating design with a hidden scotch drawer tucked into the passenger seat.

Not much to say here - I just really love this photo of one of our boats in a boathouse. And the boathouse itself is absolutely spectacular!

In "Winter Farmer" I try to capture the stark beauty and isolation of remote farm life in winter. The bleak landscape, heavy snow, and solitary figure reflect the resilience required to endure.

13 minutes of your time to listen to PMJT's speech to Canadians and Americans and, indeed, the world, in response to the tariffs from the US.
Here's the speech if you haven't heard it. 13 minutes of your time. Share it with your American friends and neighbours, because they won't see it otherwise. Circulate it in Mexico and Denmark, France and the UK, Panama and Germany, Poland and Estonia, and especially -- especially -- Ukraine.

Good morning, bluesky!!!
Since Canada hooks America up with so much, perhaps America should become Canada's 4th territory.
Healthcare, reproductive rights, legal Marijuana, and French's mustard. Just some of the Canadian perks.

My piece Bird Song is a mixed-media collage inspired by Florence + the Machine’s song. Influenced by #KurtSchwitters collages. I used cut-out text, aged paper, and distressed surfaces to reflect the song’s intensity (pictured here with my rock star daughter Teya!!) #CollageArt #FlorenceAndTheMachine

Here’s a lovely video of our very first boat, #001, resting in its boathouse on a stunning #Muskoka lake. This classic mahogany looks right at home surrounded by the natural charm of Muskoka’s serene waters.
