Go with Vox

We had an exciting set of 5 games online last night. I won 3/5, winning 2 of those by resignation and the other by 11.5. Vox won one by the same margin, 11.5 and another by resignation.

The first game turned into a very exciting and crazy battle. I found myself behind in the middle game and the only group I had any hope of targeting was Vox’s centre group. I don’t like being in a position in which I have to kill something to win, especially not a big sprawling group. That’s what happens when you get behind. The centre group was the only one I thought I had any shot at, and I didn’t think it was a good shot. Some of the play in this battle was very complicated and exciting. I failed to kill and Vox won this one by 11.5.

Don’t Mess With The King

Here’s another new painting, called Don’t Mess With the King. It’s oil on canvas, 24″X24″.

I don’t have any immediate plans to exhibit the new paintings. If you’re in Toronto and you want to see this or any of the new ones in real life, email me – I’d be happy to invite you to visit my little secret garage studio. All the new paintings are available for sale, and given the pandemic situation, I’m keeping prices as low as possible. I’d love to find homes for these paintings.

A good walk and enough chanterelles for dinner

I decided to drive out to the Enchanted Mushroom Forest this morning to see if the recent rains have caused some interesting mushrooms to fruit. I was surprised at how few mushrooms I saw today. I expected a lot more. I did find enough small chanterelles to cook with dinner, though.

The other thing I was doing was testing my knee. A week or so ago I made this drive and my knee wasn’t so happy about it. This time, I was quite comfortable driving both ways. My knee also handled walking in the woods pretty well too.
