5 days until the first day of Spring.

I’m going out tonight and I can’t wait. Going to immerse myself in art and culture and community. It’s the annual salon night in advance of the photography auction. .toronto has been supporting people living with AIDS since 1983. You can bid on some incredible photo art on March 21, 2025.

I had a dream last night that the lilacs were blooming. Woke up to a meter of snow

Changes coming to my website print sales! 🚨 I introduced the 2 smaller sizes 16x24 & 20x30 during the pandemic. The collection was supposed to be temporary but proved to be very popular.
Due to changes in my own practice and rising costs I will be phasing out the 16x24.
Certain images that work at the 20x30 scale will be released for a limited time and the price will go up.
This image, Oranges & Roses is a perfect example of an image that works really well as a 20x30. The next collection, starting March 1, will be all roses.
If you’re interested in a 16x24 or 20x30 at the current prices, don’t wait!

Next Thursday February 27, please join me for the opening of my second solo show. I will have some older work from the Plastics and the Sottobosco series. There will be some brand new work from the Palindrome Series. Hope to see you there.

I logged out for a bit. Trying other platforms: Blue Sky and Cara to see how they go. You can find me under KSjaar in both. It’s both a relief and more work to do socials without the meta algorithm. Let’s connect over there and please lmk what you think. And as always if you’re looking to keep up to date on my art shows (solo coming up in February!) pls subscribe to my (super chill, not harassing, interactive, infrequent informative) news letter! 😊

10 years on the 10th! Happy Anniversary to my love, Derek

On the longest night of the year I hope for you warmth, love, hope, a full belly, a hug, a full glass of wine. See you on the other side.

Tomorrow the sun starts returning to the northern hemisphere and then in a couple of months we will have leaves, flowers and bees again.

3 days til the winter solstice.

4 more days, friends, until the solstice. Here is a ranunculus grown by the great green thumb Laura
