The latest painting is called The music room, where I played piano in our little house as a child.
The next painting is a scientific painting...stay tuned!

Still mostly painting and cartooning...

I may not get back to illustrating books for a bit while I paint and paint...
The latest is Night into day. It started off softly colourfully, but while it looked OK, had no heart and didn’t take me anywhere. I painted over it bit by bit, and by the end was feeling very excited.

Painting my story...

The most recent paintings have been somehow linked with where I grew up in Canada.
”The house next door” (I grew up in the little house with the red roof)
Sun shower (we used to walk in a meadow near our house - I used to lie in the grass to watch the clouds and think)
Kettle Island (One time as kids four of us got stranded on the island when the wind came up and was too strong for our putt putt boat)
This last painting is the fist one I’ve done on linen rather than cotton - its natural colour is light brown. It makes the most beautiful mellow drum thrum when you tap it!
City ditty

This is called City ditty- enjoying the rhythm and patterns of windows and buildings and street lights and markings on the road and fences and all the other details in a city. It isn’t quite finished yet.
And now for something completely different...

For ages I was madly painting and getting ready for my new exhibition of paintings which is now on at Gordon Library...
it’s called “Kerry Thompson - And now for something completely different...”. As you can see, I’m painting under my proper name rather than my nom de plume, “Kerry Millard”. I’m still busy doing cartoons but don’t have a book on the boil while all of my energy goes into painting and looking for different places to display and sell them.
My garden is a mess, but my wood stove is cosy to toast my toes by in the chilly evenings!
Here is one of my favourite paintings which will be going to a great new home after the exhibition has finished at the end of August...it is called Birch grove. If you want to see what else I’ve been painting, visit me next door at www.kerrythompsonsgallery.com
P.S. Happy Canada Day!
