5 Years Ago Today

It's been 5 years since my wife Sara passed away. Whenever I see a dove in the backyard I'm reminded of her, so in that sense her spirit is alive and well in some other realm.

Wendy

An in-progress project commissioned by my older brother Eric. He would like to give it as a gift to his son for Christmas. Wendy is my nephew Simon's mother. She passed away in February of 2015. She always enjoyed the Christmas season and making Christmas crafts for us. I still have some of the decorations that she had made for Sara and I and it sits out every year at Christmas.

Doug "Killer" Gilmour

This one is complete. A portrait of Doug "Killer" Gilmour who began his playing career with the St. Louis Blues and won the Stanley Cup with the Calgary Flames. On Jan. 2, 1992 the Toronto Maple Leafs and Calgary Flames completed a blockbuster deal in which the Flames sent Doug to the Leafs in a 10-player swap. He impacted the Leafs in a huge way and brought the Leafs to the conference championships in the 1993 and 1994 seasons. He has scored over 1300 points in an illustrious career, earning a place in the top 20 of all time.
