Camping ...

We leave this Sunday for a five day camping trip. We are going to Georgian Bay area. Norther Ontario here we come.

We are planning to bring some canvasses with us, and his sketch book etc.

I will also bring my camera.

We are hoping to have a show for him in the Spring, so a trip like this is perfect to help with a few pieces for his next body of work.

Thank being said, he has one commission to finish, one to start and another one to give as a gift to the friend that married us.

He is one busy artist these days, and that is a good thing.

A Christmas painting ...

Image
Four years ago, at Christmas time Terri moved into our home. Probably the best Christmas I had ever had, full of ... potential. We were unsure at the time what was coming our way, but we both knew something special was there. He gave me a painting, no, he did better than that, he presented me with a painting, it was one of the most romantic moments in my life. Two years ago I contacted Trevor, www.trevoredwinclark.com to purchase a painting Terri loved of his, a portrait Trevor has done of Terri. It was a great present to give him, I think the best gift I had ever given. Last year there was no "Christmas painting". This year as we were putting up the Christmas tree, I told Terri that I thought we should have a "Christmas Painting". I downloaded some Christmas themed images, and began to create a painting for Bay and Brennen. My first Christmas painting. I choose an old fashioned Christmas card image. I had fun instantly with the subject matter, but the perspectives...

Man Rinaldo

Image
He was rolled up in the basement at his sisters place, safe but hidden, almost forgotten I think. He was one of the first pieces Clancy had created. He was unfinished, and so handsome, his gaze I found intense. He was another painting, ironically enough that his brother-in-law also was interested in. Clancy always laughs that both Serge and I are Gemini's and how alike we are. It seemed we also have the same taste in art work. Man Rinaldo would become a Christmas present I would get that year. Me became the second piece of art work I owned.

The Kindess of Others

These are interesting times. Times of great change for the world, but I am here to talk about an act of kindness that I recently have been the recipient of.  It's hard to share this story without giving it context, but I could get lost in that direction of the story for a long time. That story is for another day.  Unfortunately I do my best writing in the shower and never seem to document it all here or that story would already of been written. There is a sign posted on the way into Madoc that offers sewing lessons. And I have never been a person that likes to sew. (Once my first husband, Bill asked me to sew a pant hem, I stapled it and he never asked again.) But, I found myself being strangely drawn to that sign and the idea of sewing lessons intrigued me.  I mentioned this on a Madoc Facebook group and a young woman reached out to me to offer to teach me to sew. What a generous gesture, people can be amazing. She doesn't know me, I could be a b...
