Tim Noonan’s exhibition is on at Yumart until the 27th. You can see a preview online. Tasty paintings, exuberant and playful. Here’s Tim with one of his smaller works. We’ve been friends with Tim for many years, going back to York University in the early… Read More
Storm King photo-walk
It’s difficult to convey the scope of the Storm King Art Center. There is simply so much there and from different areas of the grounds you see the sculpures in different ways in relation to the landscape around them. I snapped quite a few pictures… Read More

Drawing in the garden
Those readers who have been to our garden (or who tune in here regularly) know we have some unusual structures out back, which we call Imagination Stations. I spent much of this morning out there with a block of paper and a big box of… Read More
