…yesterday at Montgomery’s Inn I picked up a few fun items for gifts and for myself

The first two photos are trios of my paper trees and the rest are things I bought throughout the day.

Getting Ready for Two Shows

…a very busy week

Today. Kevin and I are participating in a Holiday Gift Fair at Montgomery’s Inn. Originally I was only going to display our photo and art cards and a few small paintings but I decided to fill in the display with some Christmas items that I whipped up in the last few days. Here is a sample of what’s going on our table.

On Friday I’m going to Women’s Art, downtown to help set up the next show called Small Gems. It’s our annual fundraiser where all the art is small and costs no more than $400.00 but averages at about $120.00. I’m submitting three pieces from my last show so all the hard work is done. Saturday is the official opening reception which I will also be attending.

Kevin’s Winter Inspired Art

…now that the outdoor studio has closed for the winter Kevin is using his iPad to create art

The following pieces were all created using Procreate, a wonderful program to make digital art. I’m amazed at how much he produces in a week. All these winter themes were inspired by our trip to the east coast and in particular the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.

Thursday Trios – I Love Gnomes

…on time this week and early

On Monday, this week I went to the One of a Kind Show here in Toronto. There was so much to see and so many interesting people to talk with that we barely saw half the show. I may have to go back.

I love gnomes…garden gnomes, toy gnomes, Christmas gnomes, etc.. I recently purchased a knitting pattern for a gnome. If I ever get around to making one, I’ll post it here.

If you have any trios to share, I’d love to see them. Just copy my link and paste it into your post. This way I’ll get a pingback so I can find your post. Have fun!

Monster Monday – A Very Happy Monster

…it’s been awhile since I’ve posted Kevin’s art work…issues with uploading

Happy that this one came through, sharp and clear. This little guy just found that John Scofield just dropped a new double album. (Kevin’s a big fan).
