Painter’s Block

Painter’s block is a condition, primarily associated with painting, in which an artist loses the ability to produce new work, or experiences a creative slowdown. In Court Painter’s case the condition is brought on by a failure to attract new portrait commissions.

Press Attache A Hardon MacKay had a curt no comment when asked ” is  not that your job to line up new commissions?”

So in lieu of politically charged new works, Court Painter is releasing from the archives, a whole whack o bunch of unrelated images….because he can!

Daring but Necessary

In a daring yet welcome announcement this morning by  the Prime Minister; Justin Trudeau revealed that Elizabeth (with a Z) May leader of the Green Party of Canada and Member of Parliament for Saanich—Gulf Islands, would take over as the sole member of the Justice Committee.

The PM was forced to point out that Ms. May’s 6 minutes of questioning in the previous 2 meetings stood up as an outstanding example for the kids of the Great Dominion on “how to use limited question time ‘to gedder done'”

In a gesture he no doubt will regret he asked Ms. May to say a few words. The ever obliging Ms. May went on to say ,”Figure out what prosecutorial independence means, and stop compromising it.”

In the PM’s final remarks he admitted the appointment of Ms. May  was “the last feminist arrow left in his quiver”. He did ramble on a bit about jobs,the middle class,eroding trust,the middle class and jobs until the room emptied and the press all scurried off to meet their deadlines.

Weather the Storm

Court Painter takes a well deserved breather from the stressful scandalous commissions of late and ventures into the teeth of an Atlantic winter storm to knock off a few pot boilers.(Google it)

Please note :An unidentified politician weathering another storm , humming the Stones hit of 1966 Lady Jane…your time has come….snuck into one of the images.
