so much for the Turino Wienerino

So much for my idea of late with the Turnio Wiener dog. DS was SO disappointed that nothing came of it. Oh well. He did well though at his latest dive meet, raking in lots of hardware inthe fashion of two silver medals on the 1m and 3m spring boards.
Here is my latest auction. My art photography has gotten better but still. Photographing art is REALLY difficult to say the least. My collectors are always suprised at the diffierence in the image when they have it in their hands. There is a textural quality about real paitings and can not be conveyed in a photograph not matter how good a photographer you are.

on sports and new work
I'm guessing many of you have see my Turnio Wienerino. It was the idea of my DS. His goal is to got to the London 2012 games for diving. Canada is a powerhouse in the diving world and he is a very driven, talented kid. He is the current holder of the provincaial title for boys 11 and under. He is an awomse diver. He has even been featured on the TVO Kids show DOn't Sit Still. Fortunately, he has the drive and vision that is mother is often lacking. Having a kid in competetive sports is very draining in so many ways. The time we spend at the pool is unbelieveable. Please support him and his goal by bidding on this auction. Amature sports is horrifically underfunded and under appreciated in north america. Everyone LOVES to watch the olympics and see their nation doing well, but its the day to day grind of a 10 year old that will make the nation proud in 6 years time. Its all the under the radar stuff of the up and commers. So bid high and bid often. The reserve on the auction is $69.77 so you get one of my funniest pieces for a great price and the warm fuzzies from knowing you are supporting an amazing kid and future olympian.Thanks so much! I'll keep you all posted on our up coming national qualifier!
