“Union Station # 14” 6" x 8", Oil on Wood. For those outside of Canada this painting is based on Union Station in Toronto Ontario which is I think Canada’s largest station. . This piece gave me quite a bit of trouble I ended up leaving it alone for about a week because something felt off at the beginning but I couldn’t figure out what. I did small value sketches and I think I finally fixed it. As always let me know what you think of this piece.😊

Union Station #12 2019, Oil on Wood 14" x 11" Past painting of Union Station in Toronto Canada. One of my favorite buildings to paint and over the years of painting it has changed quite a bit. Several of the spots in the station that I've painted no longer exist so the paintings act as a document of history.

Based on the station in NYC, I went to a three day trip to NYC back in 2018 and had a chance to take a few photos while doing touristy stuff :D. This is a diptych meaning they’re two paintings that are a pair meant to be shown together.

Interestingly enough this painting was painted and sold in Canada and then sent to NYC :D

First pic is probably my biggest order to date off to Germany :) Massive thanks and it'll go directly to my relief press fund :D. Also those stickers are handmade linocut prints with a vinyl film over to protect to print. They're were a massive pain to make and once they sell out I wont be remaking them :D. Out of the few I made only a handful of them came out good enough to put up in the shop, the others I've been using to stick all over Toronto ;).

Second pic : Over the weekend I gave myself a break from painting but got bored so I did a quick linocut print for my packaging, a little rough but I like it. Some things need to be redesigned but that'll be for another time. :)

My woodcut print beautifully framed and in the owners home :) The other pics show close up detail which I must say those lines are quite crispy ;). The last pic is the woodcut, the design is hand carved onto wood then inked - you can run the print through a press (they're expensive and out of my price range) so they're all pressed by hand.
