More creative/colour inspiration, this time from Canadian artist Jon Claytor. The untitled piece below is from a 2005 exhibition, There is No Place, at Toronto's Ingram Gallery.
I read in an (old) interview with Claytor that he does not become emotionally attached to his work or miss it when it is sold, but his children used to. In particular, his youngest daughter would cry as work was loaded onto the truck for shipping, especially when a painting featured her brother or sister. Heartbreaking, but wonderful that she was so aware and appreciative of her dad's work!
