Well the month long tour is over and the booth is unloaded and sitting in my studio. I guess I’ve got some work to do if I want to get back to painting. Thanks to everyone who helped make this years Christmas tour a success and thanks for supporting Canadian art!

Saskatchewan had one more gift for me on the way home. I was treated to some great skies so it made the drive a bit longer because I had to keep pulling over to get photos. Oh well ❤️

The stairs in the old Hudson Bay in van make you feel like your in an old Hitchcock movie. It’s pretty sad to see this historic Canadian store packing up shop.

As of 2025, approximately 10,000 active satellites orbit Earth, marking an unprecedented surge in satellite deployments driven by the exponential growth of space-based technology, satellite communications, and global internet infrastructure. A significant share of these satellites belong to SpaceX’s Starlink constellation, designed to deliver high-speed, low-latency satellite internet worldwide, bridging the digital divide and revolutionizing telecommunications, remote connectivity, and broadband access. However, this rapid expansion has intensified concerns over space debris, orbital congestion, and satellite collision risks, posing a serious challenge to space sustainability, aerospace security, and the longevity of commercial space exploration. With more satellites crowding low Earth orbit (LEO), the probability of catastrophic collisions and fragmentation increases, creating thousands of high-velocity debris particles that threaten critical infrastructure, global positioning systems (GPS), Earth observation satellites, space stations, and future manned space missions. Even millimeter-sized debris traveling at hypersonic speeds can severely damage operational satellites, leading to multi-million-dollar losses and disrupting essential services such as weather forecasting, defense communications, financial transactions, and disaster management. To mitigate these risks, space agencies, defense organizations, and private aerospace companies are investing in advanced debris removal technologies, artificial intelligence-driven space traffic management, and next-generation satellite designs with automated de-orbiting mechanisms. While proactive initiatives such as laser-based debris clearing, autonomous robotic collectors, and AI-powered collision avoidance systems are in development, the rapid escalation of satellite launches underscores the urgent need for international regulatory frameworks, sustainable space policies, and coordinated space governance to ensure the long-term viability of orbital ecosystems and the future of commercial space exploration. The new space age demands cutting-edge solutions that balance technological innovation, economic growth, and environmental responsibility, making space traffic management and orbital sustainability one of the most pressing challenges for the global aerospace industry and emerging space economy.
