But today it’s raining, and the
view is obscured by thick prey
mist.

There is mist inside Shives’
studio, too, where his latest
painting. Cold Mountain (al the
Burnaby Art Gallery, through
Feb. 20), is leaned. against the

times, the router blade has cut
tight through the panel.

“There are still some gouges
on the studio floor.”

Once Shives had finished the

lywood base, he added on

engths of wooden dowelling,
plastic tubing, and multiple coats
of acrylic paint.
