A return to my puffin collection, I've still got over a 1000 images in the album so a little more work is needed to get that number down to a more manageable level.
Usually the ducks don't come in the yard to feed until sunset, but this loner got a late-afternoon head-start before the crowd arrived...

Yesterday spotted the CG helo go over and figured they were doing ice training. Headed down to Lake Charlevoix and the Coast Guard guys from the station had walked way out on the ice and the guy lowers from the helo and jumps on the ice and falls thru and they rescue him. Pretty amazing to watch.

Excerpt from www.oakvillegalleries.com/exhibitions/details/228/Sascha-...:
Sascha Braunig's paintings and drawings are exercises in colour, form, and illusion. Citing an artistic lineage that stretches from the Pictures Generation through to the Chicago Imagists and horror-movie practical effects, her sometimes barbed, tubular, netted, or neon-lit forms speak of many of the tensions of the current moment, such as being a subject within the grid of digital or gender systems.
In this exhibition, which stretches over both Oakville Galleries sites, the Canada-born, US-based artist brings together new and recent works that are based on the compositional motif of figures engaged in conflict with a dress-like structure. These works use material qualities to analogize an immaterial idea: the feeling of struggling with a system more powerful than you, in which you are also deeply entangled.
Braunig builds and uses three-dimensional models as visual aids in the making of her work, some of which are included in the exhibition. Because of this observational painting practice, she sees her work as being linked to the academic nineteenth-century painter's use of the “lay figure," a jointed doll, not quite to-scale, that artists used as a stand-in for a live model in the studio. The exhibition's title, Lay Figure, refers to this historical practice, but Braunig extends its meaning to the schematic wiry figure that recurs in her recent work. Here she imagines the lay figure coming into a life of its own, squirming to free itself from rigid systems and resisting its status as the inanimate muse in patriarchal painting's history.
