Happy Easter From Our Family to Your’s
…this Easter weekend has involved painting, drawing, getting together with family and eating…lots of eating
Every family celebrates this time of year differently but it almost always includes food. In our house it also includes drawing and painting and getting outside to walk and take photos.
Food with Family

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – GAP
…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2023/04/08/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-gap/
Some gaps are manmade, like the gap created by beams on the underside of the observation deck overlooking Fundy Bay in New Brunswick but for me the ones made by nature are the most interesting. The following photos are from Hopewell Rocks, NB and the last one was taken on Prince Edward Island. That one is pretty far off in the distance but I included it because after a second wind storm, shortly after I left, took it down.

On our walk through the Arboretum yesterday, we came across some beautiful sculptures throughout the grounds. Here are just a few of them:
RDP Friday – Wise
…thanks to the Ragtag community for hosting RDP https://ragtagcommunity.wordpress.com/2023/04/07/rdp-friday-wise/
Today’s word is ‘wise’ and I feel I made a wise decision. I’ve been thinking about doing this for awhile. As some of you may know I am preparing for my second art show and I’ve been busy making new work. I feel, however, that I might have to use some work that I’ve already shown in the past year but I’m feeling pretty confident that most of the pieces will be new.
Having said that I painted a floral abstract that I’ve put in three shows already and it’s never sold. It was part of a series of paintings and all of the other paintings sold. Today I decided it was time to make a change because I have to admit that over the past several weeks I’ve been dreaming about how I might change it. This afternoon I had the courage to do just that. I’m glad I did because I’m liking it much better.
I think I made a wise choice.
Here are the ‘before’ and then the ‘after’ shots.
Pull Up a Seat – Week 14 at the Arboretum
…thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull Up a Seat https://xingfumama.blog/2023/04/07/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2023-week-14/
It was a beautiful sunny day when we decided to check out the Arboretum. I can’t wait to go back when the leaves come out the flowers come up.
