First of all I apologize for not keeping my blog as updated as I should. The last few weeks I have been very busy – painting another Toller Cranston for the Michael Hoppe concert dedicated to him… And I had to make an introductory speech, as well as help with sound and video recording of…
Continue Reading →OK I know I am very behind on blog posts. Please accept my apologies. It’s just that I wanted to post an in-depth update of my European trip, before moving on to other things. However, I’ll have to do that Europe post later, because there is just too much to say. The main news I…
Continue Reading →The late Canadian skating icon, Toller Cranston, was the best friend I had in Mexico. We met at the end of 2011, when I visited his gallery in San Miguel de Allende for the first time. Just then, Toller was putting on an exhibition for a younger artist whom he had taken under his…
Continue Reading →Since returning from Europe, I have been busy with preparing for multiple shows, such as the Bordello Gallery show, the Central Library, and the Mi Patio Restaurant.

Continue Reading →I have been occupied with writing and have also been doing a fair bit of songwriting. Of course, I am also painting and it’s rare for me to be able to do all three at the same time. Usually one discipline takes priority over the others. On April 6, I will be part of a…

I have been working as always and documenting my work, but have been posting it more on facebook than on this website. So if you have facebook, please find me: Andrew Osta Artist and befriend me to keep…

Continue Reading →I hadn’t written anything on the website lately, but that doesn’t mean I hadn’t been busy. In November, I took a trip to the moutains and coast of oaxaca and produced 11 plein air paintings. Engaging in this work was both tremendously fun and tremendously rewarding. I cannot recommend the experience enough. It teaches you…
