Tonguely Celebrates Wear Plaid for Dad
….just in time for Father’s Day
Kevin is very proud of Tonguely for recognizing the importance of Wear Plaid for Dad. Launched in 2015, Plaid for Dad raises awareness about prostate cancer and vital research funds to improve and save the lives of those affected by the disease. It has quickly become a fun and easy way for Canadians to celebrate dad and help the 1 in 9 men who will be diagnosed with prostate cancer in their lifetime. When detected early, survival is close to 100%. Early detection is key. When it’s not detected early, survival rates 5 years after diagnosis drop to 28%.
Wacky Bird Wednesday – Reminiscent of the 60s
…..today’s wacky bird has a Jimmy Hendrix vibe….well at least the artist thinks so
Monster Monday – Side Effects From the Vaccine?
….not sure why this silly monster is so grumpy
If those red blotches aren’t normal I guess that would be a good reason to be grumpy.
The good news, however, is that he is fine, and his grumpiness comes more from not having a name.
Summer in Pink – Sunday Stills Challenge
….thanks to Terri for hosting Sunday Stills https://secondwindleisure.com/2021/06/13/sunday-stills-color-challenge-a-portland-summer-in-pink/
Who doesn’t love pink? Had fun going through the archives looking for pink photos.
In the Zone
….my husband hard at work in the outdoor studio
Kevin has been working from his office in the house all winter and I was thrilled to bring all his art supplies back outside to work on larger pieces. This studio is the old garage that we renovated last summer and as long as the weather is warm it’s a great place to work. On Saturday and Sunday he spent a good 10 hours of non-stop painting.
A Gallery of My Husband’s Art
…..Kevin only started painting again seriously last summer
Over the winter Kevin brought his paints back inside and worked on smaller pieces from his home office. He paints almost every day and some days he may do three or more paintings. Recently he started matting them and took lessons on how to photograph his work. I asked him to send me his favourite paintings. They are mostly mixed media and all are abstract. He likes to use watercolour, acrylic paints, pastels and inks.
TGIFFF – A Chocolate Indulgance
….earlier in the week we had National Chocolate Ice Cream Day and today is National German Chocolate Cake Day
Tonguely was upset to miss Chocolate Ice Cream Day earlier in the week, so he decided to celebrate both today. I think he may have over indulged a little bit too much.
Wacky Bird Wednesday – June 9, 2021
…this week’s bird is really laid back, I think he’s enjoying this lovely weather
Monday Murals – June 7, 2021
…..a new perspective of some old favourites
Funny when I took these shots last week I thought they looked refinished. Somehow they seemed brighter and even new but when I checked a previous Monday Mural they were the same ones. These photos, however, are from a slightly different perspective. Maybe I’m feeling nostalgic because the building they’ve been painted on has been sold and there’s a chance that it may come down. That of course means that these iconic murals will be lost forever.
