Well......it's about a week until Christmas......and I am still taking last minute orders for prints and paintings......I am pleased that I have so many last minute shoppers!!</div>

SO-- if you want something for that special person - you gotta email me this week!!</div>
<div>
Pitter patter!</div>

<div>
In the meantime, I went for brunch for the first time in AGES....and then a trip to The V.V. Boutique!</div>
<div>
Here are my finds....<br />

ARE YOU frustrated that you love Olivia but Olivia loves Cesario who is really Viola, who is in love with you? TIRED of people trying to kill you to take the throne? Looking to plan revenge against your murdering uncle??<br />
Try "Living Shakespeare" for 4 weeks, and you'll be enjoying that forbidden love.....then taking poison faster than you can romp through the Forest of Arden!!</div>

Yup - holiday Shakespeare jokes -- it has come to that!!<br />

7pm. </div>
<div>
Toronto.</div>
<div>
My husband and I were sitting in our front room, talking about how our days went. </div>
<div>
You know.....I complained about my horrible boss, and my irritating co-workers......and he shook his head.....secretly worried that I ACTUALLY BELIEVED that I had these people in my life....</div>
<div>
ANYWAYS.......Suddenly there was this rumbling.......I thought at first it was the GO train.....</div>
<div>
But it got louder and louder and then the house SHOOK.....not unlike this......</div>

IT WAS A SHOCK! </div>
<div>
We couldn't get out of our house. Because there was a tree in our front yard.</div>
<div>
It took out the hydro lines! (Obvi)</div>
<div>
So we called 311.</div>
<div>
The city was FAST!!!</div>
<div>
REALLY REALLY FAST.....within 20 minutes they were out with hydro to access the damage.</div>
<div>
I was pleasantly surprised!!!!</div>
<div>
After a couple hours, all the downed electrical wire was off, and I was able to get a better view of the damage.....</div>
<div>
The poor tree split in half....... half over the road.....</div>
<div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
WHAT A 24hrs!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SO......I want to say this......</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
1.) I am grateful (and shocked) that nobody was killed and that our house and our neighbour's houses </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
were not destroyed by that tree? Really really grateful. Would I have liked it to have NOT </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
happened? YES!!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
2.) I am grateful that the 311 and Hydro people worked so hard and so late. It was most appreciated!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
3.) I am feeling gratitude that I do what I love, and live in a nice house, in a nice tree lined </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
neighbourhood. (Despite this freak incident!) Let's face it......doing what you love can be a great </div>

distraction from destruction around you!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
SO.......YOU need to come out and see what I am working this hard on! </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
The fruits of my 'single focussed' labour!!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">

It's new week - and I know I have been a bit neglectful with my posts....<br />
YOU KNOW WHY!!<br />
(Or at least you do - if you are a regular reader!)<br />
I have been prepping for the <a href="http://www.oneofakindshow.com/toronto/artisans.php?m=2&id=49939&c=1#ref" target="_blank">One of a Kind Show!!!!</a><br />
(that's the #OOAKX15 if you are a big hashtagger!)<br />
<br />

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
What does that mean? It means I generally spend EVERY day in my studio from 8am-9pm.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
My long suffering husband is calling himself an "art widow". And it is true. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
BUUUUT.....I have been getting boatloads of GREAT new work done.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
I am working up a LOT of pieces that are $50-$275 - for the perfect holiday gift!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
Here are a couple of the pieces I did last week........</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDRIWuFGt7QcCRTO8vvLYSbcpEr1T8pjSgMvBbGDNhOVCAmVGW0KMMTGpsO9wqRjV9apZUrDTV7aa3Oy0Tr-UdBqzCGCvvc8Hb1kkHmAfv9iSX7_gcsFHqvlK6bZtKQfdKRTacO3Z12M/s1600/ForFoxSakes12x12.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiGDRIWuFGt7QcCRTO8vvLYSbcpEr1T8pjSgMvBbGDNhOVCAmVGW0KMMTGpsO9wqRjV9apZUrDTV7aa3Oy0Tr-UdBqzCGCvvc8Hb1kkHmAfv9iSX7_gcsFHqvlK6bZtKQfdKRTacO3Z12M/s640/ForFoxSakes12x12.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"For Fox Sakes", 12" x 12", Acrylic on Board, $275.00</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
This guy is one of the many pieces that have a more 'traditional' painted look, but have my signature 'smart-assery'! Mr Fox looks better in person -- than he does in this photo.....<div>
COME OUT AND SEE HIM IN PERSON!<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
And then on the opposite side of the spectrum there is this piece:<br /><br />
<table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto; text-align: center;"><tbody>
<tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMQTfYuaLx54AKQmEZtYOESpCp_tuzHk4Yl6BwqT0EQ3K2yNuFrf3gNcyOLy3WPmDF3hahx3m_lsnsrJKeryCwYzH1Mxod8KC-xzlZuZ_mmOmIuFxNHD_Lzy5Cou8gGPAvhyp9LDe-PI/s1600/SpaceOut.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhgMQTfYuaLx54AKQmEZtYOESpCp_tuzHk4Yl6BwqT0EQ3K2yNuFrf3gNcyOLy3WPmDF3hahx3m_lsnsrJKeryCwYzH1Mxod8KC-xzlZuZ_mmOmIuFxNHD_Lzy5Cou8gGPAvhyp9LDe-PI/s640/SpaceOut.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr>
<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">"Space Out", Acrylic on Board, $275.00</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
The great thing about doing these smaller, affordable pieces is that I can do ANYTHING I want - as long as the imagery makes a clever word of phrase. I LOVE how much freedom this series allows me!!!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
So there. I will try to show you MORE this week.......truthfully I am a little hesitant - because I have pre-sold a number of pieces already...then again......NOT a bad problem to have!</div>
<div>
;-)</div>
<div>
See you in a few weeks!!!!!</div>

Yup - that one above is already sold. The bigger ones are a lot more work, but are also pretty special! (If I do say so myself!!)<br />
The new work is REALLY getting a lot of attention from my social media blitzing!<br />
So far I have sold this bigger one and 4 smalls!<br />
So come out to the OOAC to see this fun new pieces in person!<br />
And remember - I do commission works!<br />
;-)<br />
(as soon as Dec 6th is done!!)<br />
Have a great weekend y'all!!<br />

<br />
In the last post, I claimed I would be done over a hundred new pieces.......<br />
Well....its been a week....a week of 12 hour days mostly...including Sunday.....<br />
....and so far I have a LOT done!!<br />
<br />
So, you know this piece:<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
(which is long since sold)<br />
<br />

<div>
<br /></div>
Well I was doing that same idiom again. <div>
As I do!<div>
"Goody Two Shoes" seems to be a popular piece, so I started a new version......I was painting them red, with a polka dot pattern when it HIT ME......</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
BAM!</div>
<div>

<div>
THEY LOOK KINDA LIKE THE RUBY SLIPPERS!!</div>
<div>
(If you don't know the ruby slippers - you are so reading the wrong blog right now!)</div>
<div>
The Wizard of Oz is a huge favourite of mine.....and i have never really done anything related to it.....UNTIL NOW.....so with Oz in mind, I went to work!</div>
<div>
Let me show you my first 4 completed paintings.</div>
<div>
Each is different and yet similar....</div>

<br />
GLINDA = witch is witch<br />
good grief<br />
good riddance<br />
good to go<br />
good old days<br />

Now.....I know you HATE the idea of Christmas when it is barely October.....but.....<br />
My biggest show of the year is QUICKLY approaching:<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

YOU will want to check out some of the over ONE HUNDRED new pieces I hope to have ready for this big show! I know what you are thinking.....<br />
"THAT'S CRAZY BANANA PANTS, ROB!!"<br />
I know......but this show is ELEVEN glorious days.....so I need a LOT of stock!<br />
Especially of my Mixed Message Series works - THESE are my biggest sellers!<br />
So, here are 3 brand new 9" x 6" ORIGINAL pieces - yes, they are variations on the same word - but as you can see, they are entirely different from each other.....<br />
<br />
This big heel version is pretty cool - it also has some cool bits and bobs on it:<br />

Honestly most of this series does NOT last long, bit this one is especially popular......and c'mob for $100 you CAN'T get much in the fine art world....</div>
<div>
Also, let's face it, I am a big nerd, and my peeps are AWESOME!!!!!</div>

(No....no.......no presents necessary!)<br />
BUT my present to you, is this BRAND NEW PAINTING!<br />
This was a commission.....I know what you are thinking.....<br />
HOLD THE PHONE..........ROB.........YOU DO COMMISSIONS???<br />
Yes.......yes I do!<br />
And a fair number of them!!<br />
This one was pretty fun.........My client wanted me to do a painting called "wine o'clock".....and wanted it to be 12" x 12"....like my other <a href="http://robcroxford.com/mixedmessageseri.html" target="_blank">"Mixed Message Series</a>" paintings.<br />
Now.....full disclosure......this client is also my 2nd cousin.......which may have added a little pressure to really knock it out of the park.......but still.....super fun challenge!<br />
I got some parameters - it had to be white wine......and beyond that....it was up to me!<br />
(WHICH IS PERFECT!)<br />
Thankfully I have been to their home......so I kinda remembered lots of earth tones and some yellows, reds and browns in the decor........so I tried to keep the colours in that family.<br />
I handled it a bit like a traditional still life oil painting, which may have added a bit of extra time to the painting of it, but I am SUPER HAPPY with the results:<br />

<br /></div>
AND NOPE.....sorrry......there are no prints of either of these 2 works!<br />
(They are just way too reasonably priced to reproduce! :-)<br />
I may use the term 'wine o'clock' again though......anyone interested in that???!<br />
<br />
ANYWAYS......thankfully, my 'cuz seemed to like the final product too!<br />
(Which is the MOST important thing!)<br />
HUZZAH!<br />
<br />
As you can see, dear friends, I am 'adaptable' in style if it belongs within my painting Series!<br />
So.......keep that one in mind -- Christmas is coming!!<br />
Also if you ever have suggestions for upcoming works....I would be happy to entertain those!!<br />
Thanks guys!<br />

Now.....let's continue.......as a treat - my hosts took me to a 'cottage' for a few days......and to some of the smaller towns around the 'Tob.<br />
(Yup - I just shortened Manitoba! YOU'RE WELCOME!)<br />
There is kinda a theme to this post.....see if you get it - or rather take a shot each time I reference a moose.....there.....that's one shot! Here's another.......<br />

YUP! I am home from my vay-cay TODAY!<br />
Now, for the last 3 years, I have been asked AGAIN AND AGAIN why I do not have prints of "Make Friends".....<a href="http://robcroxford.blogspot.ca/2012/02/strangers-on-train.html" target="_blank">HERE is a blog</a> from 2012 all about the painting......<br />

<br />So, if you have always LOVED this piece, NOW is your opportunity to own a limited edition giclèe!<div>
<br />Again.......a Giclèe is a super fancy inkjet method of printing on acid free watercolor paper. They are produced for me by a professional Giclèe Printer on an Epson printer with K3 pigment inks.<br />They look amazing (if I do say so myself)!<div>
They are available as 16" x 20" or 8" x 10", and will soon be available on <a href="https://www.etsy.com/shop/robcroxford" target="_blank">ETSY</a>!</div>
<div>
She will also be available in MY BOOTH at The <a href="http://www.cabbagetownartandcrafts.org/" target="_blank">Cabbagetown Arts and Crafts Show</a> :</div>

On the platform (lower) level, two fully powered operational subway tracks contain many historic examples of New York City Subway and Elevated railway equipment as a permanent display. Preserved subway cars, most of which can still be run, date as far back as the predecessor companies that came before the <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_City_Transit_Authority">New York City Transit Authority</a>! (That means at least one is 100 years old!!!)<br />

GO THERE!!!!<br />
If you can't make it to Brooklyn this year, maybe you can make it to <a href="http://www.hcry.org/ab_us.html" target="_blank">The Halton County Radial Railway Museum</a> - Yes......it is a mouthful......but it is also pretty cool!<br />
<span style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;"><br /></span>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe width="320" height="266" class="YOUTUBE-iframe-video" data-thumbnail-src="https://i.ytimg.com/vi/XEpGUhYrD_c/0.jpg" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/XEpGUhYrD_c?feature=player_embedded" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe></div>
<br />
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<i>The Halton County Radial Railway and the OERHA was formed in 1954 by a group of men who wanted to save Toronto Transit Commission (TTC) streetcar 1326 from being sent to the scrap yard. After the donation of this streetcar, the dream grew. Land that used to be a part of the Toronto Suburban Railway in Nassagaweya Township was acquired, and subsequently, a number of other street and radial cars were eventually rescued. The museum's grand opening to the public took place in 1972.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<i>Since the beginning, the vision of the HCRR was to inform, educate and inspire the public about the electric railway history of Ontario and Canada. Today, the museum displays and operates a variety of historic streetcars, radial cars and work cars, and maintains a collection of photographs, memorabilia and <a href="http://www.hcry.org/archives.html" style="color: #64a2d2; font-weight: bold;">archival materials</a>. The oldest rail car in the <a href="http://www.hcry.org/collection.html" style="color: #64a2d2; font-weight: bold;">collection</a> dates from the late 1800s.</i></div>
<div style="font-family: arial, sans-serif; font-size: 12px; line-height: 16px;">
<i><br /></i></div>
We took a trip there a month ago. </div>
<div>
It was FUN! </div>
<div>
Truthfully, it did NOT have the breadth of stuff that the MTA Transit Museum had.....</div>
<div>
But, it is also NOT run by the city or the TTC.....so they survive on grants and admissions to grow!</div>
<div>
<a href="http://www.hcry.org/don_general.html" target="_blank">YOU SHOULD DONATE TO THEM!</a></div>
<div>
What they DID have was an opportunity to ride in style in an old streetcar!!!!</div>
<div>
You sure can't do THAT in Brooklyn! ;-)</div>
<div>
I took photos.....I will share some.....not all......I took a LOT (again)....</div>

Okay, to I have been talking a LOT about Hamilton in the last few months.<br />
<div>
You see.....I have done a couple shows there, and met some really great people.</div>
<div>
Some artists, some foodies - and some swell business owners!</div>
<div>
These people are trying to convince me that I need to MOVE and set up shop in the Hammer.</div>
<div>
These are top quality people......people who love their city....and honestly, it is contagious!</div>
<div>
I am honestly considering a move!</div>
<div>
So...because I move in the direction that inspiration takes me, I give you this new painting!</div>
<div>
I am gonna show you my progress on this piece with a series of photos -- my husband claims that when I do this, it makes the process look EASY! </div>
<div>
DOES IT??????</div>
<div>
IT AIN'T!</div>
<div>
It all starts with inspiration.......in this case..... it was this photo....</div>
