January Squares – The Last Ones

Posted on January 31, 2020 by Mama Cormier

… I can’t believe that January Squares is over today

Thanks Becky for hosting this month’s square challenge about light. The light that comes through a greenhouse allows the public to enjoy flowers year round. 62E1ADB6-149D-42CA-A921-58EDC0C38A24 641F3A6E-EAC6-4687-9604-DC5779E1ABEF

I’m sure a missed a few days so here are some more squares of light; twilight, coloured lights, and a back lit spaceman. EB67AE4A-0351-4F8B-A780-F7C644A336EC_1_201_a 2E920743-8187-448F-9E6F-D94B161D6333 71583A9C-42CC-4E43-B97D-95EB622E6FB9

Adding Music to my Creativity Experience – Day 23

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Rainee for introducing me to the 30 Day Creativity Challenge

Last week I started piano lessons. I have a beautiful baby grand piano sitting in my living room that no one has played in almost 20 years. Last year I had it tuned but I finally found a piano teacher who comes to my house for 40 minutes on Thursday mornings.

Gerry is also teaching my neighbour across the street and that is how I got to meet him. Little did I know last week that I would be starting my first lesson the same day. I am a complete newbie and he’s started me on scales and reading simple music. Luckily I know how to read the treble clef notes and I know where middle C is. I’ve been a good girl and have practised every day. I even went out and purchased some beginner piano books from our local thrift store.

Anyway I need to warm up before he gets here this morning. Wish me luck.

Day 22 – Inspired by Fitzgerald

Posted on January 30, 2020 by Mama Cormier

…thanks to Rainee for introducing me to the 30 Day Creativity Challenge

One of the least known Group of Seven artists was Lionel LeMoine Fitzgerald. He originated from Manitoba and was famous for his prairie landscapes. Later in his life he painted abstracts and still life and enjoyed using pen, ink and pencil. It was one of his abstracts that I saw at the McMichael Art Gallery that inspired this work of art. I used a ball point pen and pencil. DCD81B82-8DB4-456E-B70F-D25C626CE66F_1_201_a
