Where Sunny Lived

Cyrenus (Sunny) Robichaud is my wife's uncle. A bachelor, he has lived in the small village of Inkerman on the Acadian peninsula all of his life. He has reached the point of having to leave his house, and it is left as it was when he was living there. The following are a few of the photographs I took recently. 


I was fascinated by the narratives which could be revealed in each image of a long and simple life.

Sackville School?

Site of the proposed future Guild Academy of Arts 





Over the summer I will be costing out renovations for conversion to a facility appropriate for  painting instruction, lectures and small exhibitions. 

This project is an idea generated by Virgil, Meredith and myself which would develop in an effort to provide instruction for painting technique and support of a somewhat classical aesthetic philosophy. This follows from our discussions over the last year while engaged in painting a portrait of Virgil, and which culminated in a series of blogposts and a pending book. Go to Beaverbrook Art Gallery for a review of this project, and philosophical background.

Sackville (The Play) Casting continued

The nature of the drama will unfold over the summer. Stay tuned...
