Textures in Art at MOCA
…Phyllida Barlow’s Eleven Columns
At the end of our son’s trip to Toronto we decided to check out the new Fall show at MOCA (Museum of Contemporary Art). The one exhibition featured the British artist, Phyllida Barlows who sadly passed away earlier this year. Her installations were created from inexpensive, low grade materials such as cardboard, fabric, plywood, styrofoam and cement. As a result her pieces are very textural and fun to look at.
Thursday Trio – Sept. 14, 2023
…To Bury the Truth
A trio of paintings with a somber message. These pieces were done by an indigenous artist, Amber Smith Quail that I have had the privilege to get to know this past year. They are part of her show at WAAC called Nawemaa / to be related.
If you have any trios you’d like to share, serious or funny, please copy my link and post it into your post. I’ll get a pingback and will be sure to check it out.

Macro Monday and Tuesday Textures
…from the Leighton Art Gallery in Alberta
One of my favourite spots to visit outside of Calgary. The art being featured while we were there involved quilting, weaving and felting. I was very inspired. I’ve included the full size piece and then the close-ups that I took of the detail.
Deer, deer everywhere….
…and not a real one anywhere
During our trip to the Banff Centre we were hoping to see some wildlife. This was the closest thing to deer that we saw.
Back in Calgary, Kevin spotted a live deer in someone’s yard but I wasn’t able to capture a shot.
