I’m Back After a Five Week Hiatus From Blogging

it’s been a busy summer

July was busy with lots of company and getting ready for our art show, August found me spending more time at my cottage and my friend’s cottage. We also met friends at our art show and hosting a BBQ for family and friends. Last week we took the show down. I also celebrated my birthday at the end of August and I went to the CNE and an AFC Toronto game with my daughter, daughter-in-law and Winnie, my granddaughter.

Lassonde Art Trail in the Port Lands

in Toronto

When my friend Liz heard that our six year old granddaughter was coming for a visit she highly recommended that we check out this park in the east end of Toronto. Anyone with children should definitely check it out for the play areas and the art trail is a great area for walking and cycling for all ages.

There are areas where you can picnic but there are no vendors currently where you can purchase food. So be sure to bring snacks and drinks with you.

Trios on Sunday

spending all my time on my art

Sorry for the delay but my mind has been on getting the list of our artworks ready for the Inn. I found these trios on the garden tour last week.

If you have any trios to share just copy my link and paste it into your post.

Getting Ready for our Next Art Show

both Kevin and I are hosting our first art show together

I know that I have enough art to put on another show but I always like to create some new pieces. A while back I took a photo of a random group of buttons and I had it enlarged. In my head I envisioned stitching the buttons over the photograph and then add some more stitches around the buttons. Here is the finished piece.

For my last show I painted a mixed media meadow scene that was very popular and sold at the show. I decided to try another piece using similar techniques but this time I made it larger. It features sumacs in the foreground and spring flowers throughout the rest of this country landscape.

The show starts July 29 and runs till August 24 at Montgomery’s Inn.
