…yesterday, February 21, 2026

Yesterday was the perfect day to do some gallery hopping. It was the last day for the Open Type Typography Exhibition on Dundas St. W. It was already extended for an extra week.

When I first met my husband Kevin he was studying to become a graphic designer and for close to a decade he worked in the industry designing catalogues, menus, signage and advertising.

We had a wonderful conversation with the gallery owners. They were very interested in our upcoming show later this year and they gave us some information on their life drawing classes.

Directly across from this gallery was the Stephen Bulger Photography Gallery.

It was a great day. We were both inspired to get busy with our own art projects.

…just in time for Thursday Trios

My next art project involves a photograph, buttons and treads.

If you have any trios to share, I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. When I get the pingback I’ll be sure to check it out. Have fun!

When I say ‘unusual crops’ I’m not referring to food but to a photography term where you ‘cut away’ parts of the photo to make it more interesting. Here are my submissions.
