Seumas McNally (1979 to 2000)
I knew Seumas as a sweet, giggly and brilliant child. He grew into his good nature and genius until, tragically, cancer stole him from us just after his 21st birthday, in 2000.
We all miss you, Seumas.
You can read my sister Wendy’s eulogy of her son here.
This painting is meant to be viewed while listening to Arvo Part’s Spiegel im Spiegel. Below is a short version of the song on YouTube, but a superior and complete version can be found on Q2 Music (@q2music) by clicking here and scrubbing to 1:45:45.
Spiegel im Spiegel, the painting, has been accepted into the juried “Family” show at Artel Gallery, and is on view from March 5 to April 12.
Seumas McNally Remembered
This was my short video tribute to Seumas on the 10th anniversary of his death.

Vertical Triptych
This was the first series I ever created, many college-moons ago. Essentially, they are prototypes for a column of stained-glass windows behind the altar of a church. They could be hung left to right but I created it with a vertical format in mind–in the order below.
Also, they were just removed from storage and shipped to me a couple of weeks ago, so you will likely notice surface damage.

“Begone Dull Care” (c)2012 – Acrylic on Canvas Board, 12″ x 9″
This is a quick study inspired by my memory of this short film by Norman McLaren–the NFB-renowned Canadian (yeah!) animator and film director–that I saw in my UVic film studies class.
You might remember McLaren best for his exquisite, fluent Muybridge-like “Pas de deux,” but I hope you enjoy this snappy little video of animated drawings on film. It’s an abstract visual description of jazz–at its finest–by the legendary Oscar Peterson.
