Although I have to admit, I am very curious to see what you come up with next!

My daughter Lily met your daughter in High Park during our first weekend in Toronto (we moved here from the UK in September). They hit it off straightaway when they discovered they’re both vegetarian & atheist, and I was impressed that they had discussed such fundamentals after about 5 minutes playing together!

I’m glad I found your site and if we see you in the park again I’ll say hi.

All the best for 2011, Dan

“I’ve spent the last couple years painting, I also became quite disillusioned that it’s trite. Devoid of any value or meaning beyond the aesthetic and perhaps a cheap joke or gag.”

Well I do not agree and you do have to pay your bills. The Art Aesthetic you have developed or evolved is approaching the option of commercial gain much as occurred long ago with BME

As Ashly says

“Love the little portraits.”

to which I add
an Art Critic could tell
what you feel is fake from a forgery – you have arrived – no need to sign your paintings

2011-

It’s your year to howl however you want

I talked with KV – she sent me a tin of her homemade green ginger dark chocolates – you might consider getting her to send you a tin.

As I said to her at conversation end – you (Shannon) make a believer

not in the Sheeple God
but in the blind watchmaker
without whom there would be no progress and time would not have a direction

i have no idea what the future
will bring but i am so happy you are in it

I don’t think my reaction could be caused by something that is trite and shallow, I thought it was beautiful.

I have tremendous respect for you in many ways but have really failed to connect with any of your paintings (those posted in recent years anyway) so I’m very interested in seeing and hopefully appreciating this evolution! I really admire your honest, open and fairly objective critique of the aforementioned works, by the way, and I wish more artists had the ability to see both the good and the bad in their own work. Good luck Shannon — you are a champion in so many ways.

I wish you well man. I haven’t read this book yet (it was recommended to me) called 101 Miracles of Natural Healing by Luke Chan. I don’t remember if I mentioned this website to you already, but Craftster.org is way cool and very inspiring.
