…5 Day Creative Adventure – Art of Flow

I watched day 4 of Gabbi’s Art of Flow earlier this evening. Instead of painting on a canvas I decided to start in my art journal.

On day one I activated the empty pages with writing and then covered it with water colour so that the writing would still show through.

On day two I applied marks with hand made stencils and white and black paint markers.

On day three I added more marks and shading with pencil.

On day three I added another colour with watercolour crayons.

Not sure if I’ll take this much further. Maybe I’ll try this on canvas next.

…thanks to Xingfu Mama for hosting Pull up a Seat Challenge https://xingfumama.blog/2025/04/04/pull-up-a-seat-photo-challenge-2025-week-14/

I took a very long walk through High Park today and logged over 10 000 just this morning. I was very glad for a place to sit, especially after climbing the hill up from the zoo.

…a little opera and lots of paintings

On Thursday I made my way downtown to listen to a wonderful opera singer, Midori Marsh.

Midori was the winner of the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto 2024 Career Development Award.

After the concert I walked over to the Royal Museum of Ontario but didn’t get beyond the gift shop because you can no longer access the museum via the store. I’m hoping this is temporary.

I could have entered from the main entrance but I wanted to check out the show at WAAC which is a block north of the ROM.

When I arrived at Women’s Art I was greeted by this sandwich board.

The show is wonderful with very large and varied pieces. One year I’ll attempt a large piece so that I can participate in this show.

Today Kevin and I attended the Lambton Kingsway Annual Art Show. Kevin learned that one of the artists that he follows was exhibiting here so he wanted to meet her.
