He started drawing at the age of two and continued drawing obsessively until the age of thirteen, when he got his first guitar.  For over the next decade, Steve pursued music primarily and continued drawing as a hobby.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana, geneva\" size=\"4\" color=\"#9CF2BD\">After recording two full length original albums with the Calgary-based band \u201cthe Villains\u201d and winning a national songwriting contest in the spring of 2006, Steve remained a professional musician by trade while continuing to draw and experiment with painting.  He then relocated to a deserted rural house 45 minutes outside of Vernon, BC in fall of 2007 to focus on painting.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\"><font face=\"verdana, geneva\" size=\"4\" color=\"#9CF2BD\">Since moving to Victoria in the spring of 2008, Steve has been building his collection of oil paintings as well as drawings in pen and  graphite.  Steve has been painting full-time since the success of his debut show at the Massey Gallery in the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria in November 2011.  He currently lives in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.<\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify\">\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"http:\/\/stevechmilar.com\/\"><font face=\"verdana,geneva\" size=\"4\"><strong>http:\/\/stevechmilar.com\/<\/strong><\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Tonight&#8217;s feature is titled &#8220;Island&#8221;.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#ffff00\"><br \/>\n<\/font><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/cpc\/Chmilar-Steve-Island.jpg\" alt=\"Island\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span> <\/span><br \/>\n<span> <\/span><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Looking forward to see what this artwork<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> inspires your muse with.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Please click the heart above if you enjoy this blog.<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> It would also be great if you spread the word<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong> and told a friend. <img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/www.friendburst.com\/blog\/wp-includes\/images\/smilies\/icon_smile.gif\" alt=\"\" width=\"15\" height=\"15\" \/><\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>Thanking you in advance&#8230;<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong>love, light and many blessings!<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\"><font face=\"comic sans ms, sans-serif\" size=\"5\" color=\"#9CF2BD\"><strong><br \/>\n<\/strong><\/font><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">\n<p><span> <\/span><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" style=\"border: 0pt none\" src=\"http:\/\/i57.photobucket.com\/albums\/g208\/ammango\/angel_love\/hearts\/Hugsheartrose.gif\" alt=\"\" \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tonight we are featuring a piece of art by artist, Steve Chmilar, from Canada.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[29],"tags":[159,4,4182],"class_list":["post-103279","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-poems","tag-cpc","tag-poetry","tag-simple-sunday"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=103279"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/103279\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=103279"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=103279"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/friendburst.com\/blog-new\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=103279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
