The Second Large Painting is Finished
…a very late night and a good chunk of today taken up making this painting
This one gave me a bit of trouble. The background was relatively simple to complete but the foreground just didn’t pop and the lavender didn’t stand out. After a consultation with our daughter, we came up with a couple of solutions to fix the problem. Along the way I made a few other changes as well and I think I can finally call this one finished.
“Lavender Hills in Assisi”
15″ x 30″ on stretched canvas – acrylic paint and mixed media
Now I just have to sign it, seal it and wire it.

Monday Monster – Two for the Price of One
…Kevin forgot to send me last week’s monster so I have two to show you today
Both drawings were done on Procreate.
This Week’s Monster
Last week’s monster looks a bit too happy for a Monday morning but not all of Kevin’s monsters are grumpy or mean.

Macro Monday – The Buds are Beginning to Open
…early for us but I’m not complaining
I’m a Fan of…..Seagulls
…except when they go after my food
Seagulls are typically known as ‘scavengers of the beach’ and can be quite a nuisance at take-out restaurants and food trucks that are close to the water. The seagulls that I love are the ones close to home where there are no lunches to steal. Sometimes people like to feed them and they can create quite a scene as they dive for food.

Happy Easter to my Friends in the Orthodox Community
…some colourful Easter goodies from Eataly in Toronto
Before our trip to the ROM a couple of weeks ago we stopped in at Eataly for a bite to eat. The Easter goodies were on display and very tempting but the prices made us think twice. In fact we put the Easter chocolates back when a small bag (about 6 small Easter eggs) weighed in at $12.00. It was feast for the eyes only that day.
Happy Easter to all my Ukrainian friends.
