…over a collaged page
I did not use a photo or a model for this portrait. It’s just a fun face with eyes that are way too big and the lower portion is too narrow and not long enough. I will play with this style again.
…with more storage and counter space
I’m still putting away supplies, dishes and accessories from our old kitchen but much of it was given away, donated to a thrift shop or thrown away. We have a second kitchen in the basement and some of the supplies that we don’t use every day will stay down there until we need them.
On Sunday I had an itch to cook and bake. As many of you know, my husband does most of the cooking in this house. He gets so much pleasure working in the kitchen and now in his new space his pleasure has doubled.
I love making soup and made a large pot of chicken vegetable soup. While the soup simmered I made a batch of lemon cranberry muffins. When I was gathering up supplies for the kitchen I came across a recipe that my sister, Chris, typed up for me awhile ago.
Both recipes were delicious and we enjoyed them for the next three days and there is still enough soup left over for another meal.
…coloured circles and black and white ink
I stayed up late last night working on this piece and finished it when I got back from baking at the Inn and taking my three woven pieces to the art gallery.

…day 20 of my daily art challenge
One of my goals in art this year is to get better at sketching. This is my fourth drawing of dogs.
…some pieces just take longer to complete
I love this type of art. I find the process very relaxing and it can’t be rushed. It’s a cross between Zentangle and slow drawing patterns that Amy Maricle promotes.

…from the park at the end of my street
The city has decided to repair the sea wall at the edge of the park where I often start my walks. As a result a huge section has been fenced off and the dump trucks have started driving up and down our street delivering clean land fill and removing some of the old stuff.
The project could take up to a year to complete. The park over on Third Street is still partially fenced and that project is still ongoing after almost two years. The other park that I love to walk through, Col. Sam Smith Park has a similar project on the water’s edge and could take three years to complete.
I’ll keep you posted with the progress.
…from around the house
If you have any trios you’d like to share please copy my link and paste it into your post. I’ll be sure to check it out. Have fun!
…finished just in time to enter in the next members show at WAAC
In February the members show at the Women’s Art Association of Canada is titled Monochrome Moments. After making the smaller piece on Monday evening, I decided to make two larger pieces for the show yesterday. Weaving on canvas is a lot of fun.
Both these pieces are 12 x 12 x 2 inches.
