Yesterday I finished putting work in frames and dropped paintings off at Mjölk. There are six paintings total, 11" x 11" framed.


They're all Dala Horses; a take on some previous work, Dalahäst Brodera and Dalahäst Blå, (as well as my newest print). John and Juli, owners of Mjölk, wanted a small collection of these paintings to display during the holidays. Chris made the beautiful frames for them. I want all of our work at home to be framed the same way! They're in pickled pine frames with a semi-gloss finish. So pretty. I'm really happy with the finished pieces!


If you're in the Junction neighbourhood of Toronto, please stop in and have a look. (The shop is certainly reason enough to visit!). It's located at 2959 Dundas Street West.

    Anthony, I knew you'd like that one! When I finished it, it reminded me of the birch bark artwork at the front of the shop that you love so much! xox
