Montreal

Dear Folks,
We got here shortly after noon. Took a sight seeing tour of the city. A pre med student drove us around in our car for 2 1/4 hrs. I never dreamed it was such a wonderful city.

Marking My Territory.

Hey guys! Anyway, if you know me well enough, you know that registering this blog was so obvious, it's kinda stupid it took so long. Thing is, I'm pretty sure I already had whyimnotanartist.blogspot.com reserved back in 2001. I thought it was in limbo like the Destroyed For Comfort blog, which I lost access to over four years ago.

Anyone know how to gain access to an old Blogspot account?

Anyway, here's a painting I finished and sold two weeks ago. It was nice to play around on a big canvas again. If someone wants to play patron, I'd be willing to paint something for ya (within reason).
