My desks over the years. Tidy or clean desks are not typical. Always did my best to follow the rule of not seeing clients in my office, something I was taught as a student at law. Not shown are my desks from my career as a computer programmer since I never thought to take them.

Day 2332 #ArtKicksCovid19 “Bouquet et chat” (1919) Suzanne Valadon. Private Collection. This piece exemplifies Valadon's signature post-impressionist style, characterised by a bold palette, heavy black outlines, and a distinct lack of idealised sentimentality.

2011 August 2 what turned out to be the last painting my stepmother completed. She had an ancestor who came to James Bay from the Orkneys to work for the Hudson's Bay Company and later retired to Southern Ontario.
