Latest commission has been received so I can post it now. Flying With The Wind, acrylic on panel. A delight to work on, this was commissioned as a birthday gift for a dear friend.

The yellow colour of the leaves is achieved by using silver nitrate mixed with oils which are fired at a low kiln temperature- this method turned clear glass into “gold” and may be a source of the famous quest to turn lead into gold …

Felt well enough today to visit the Billing’s Estate museum. I’d worked there in the 1980’s so was delighted to see their current ways of sharing the collection and telling the stories. They even have a little section on the family scandals now, cheekily displayed behind a closet door…

For @thesicktimes.org, I covered a petition that over 1,700 people have signed calling for a pause to a trial that's applying for ethical approval to test a psuedoscientific program for #LongCOVID called The Lightning Process. thesicktimes.org/2026/09/22/p... 1/n
Screenshot of Sick Times article. Title: "People with Long COVID demand pause of McMaster University clinical trial"

DEK: The trial, run by researchers at McMaster University in Canada, is testing the Lightning Process, a pseudoscientific mind-body program that outside experts have heavily criticized.

Image: A college buildingey points you should know:

A petition signed by 1,700 people asks for a pause and independent review of a trial run by McMaster University researchers who want to test the Lightning Process.
 
The Lightning Process is a pseudoscientific mind-body program to try to treat Long COVID that has been accused of exploiting people with Long COVID and related diseases.
 
The trial is designed in part by a Lightning Process practitioner and prescreens participants for motivation using a questionnaire that isn’t validated for Long COVID.
 
There are very few trials and little funding in Canada for Long COVID research, and advocates believe that studying the Lightning Process instead of pathobiological pathways is a waste of funding.

Why does it always go back to crazy ideas like saying personality determines susceptibility to illness (cancer, “consumption”) Always blaming the patient. Do the hard work of researching the illness instead! I know someone who had melancholy - it was because the TB ended their career!
