War, like love, like religion makes all things new again. Written by poet knowing no difference between romance and horror.

I like the people of Algonquin Park. Genuine with rough edges still in view. Just like my boards.

Catching a trout, making good bannock, or hitting out a good sketch: all preferable to studio painting on a canvas.

If I painted city scenes, I would run out of grey.

U.S. Steamship Vigilancia torpedoed by German sub U-70, 145 miles west of Bishops, off Scilly Islands, 15 killed.

I guess PM @bobbyborden won't regard this strategic insight.

Art is the work of thieves.
