….a succulent I can actually grow
…or should I say bird?
Lucille may be odd looking but she brings a smile to my face as does most of the art that Deniz Seker makes. She is one of the artists that is a member of WAAC and one of the first people that I was instantly drawn to when I first joined the Women’s Art Association. Thanks Deniz for introducing Lucille to us at the Collage Show.

Clearly the snow is coloured by humans and I suspect there are children in this house who had a wonderful time creating these colourful discs of ice to add to the snow bank on their front yard.

1: differing markedly from the usual, ordinary, or accepted : PECULIAR a very odd way to show gratitude
2a: not regular, expected, or planned; worked at odd jobs b: encountered or experienced from time to time : OCCASIONAL manages to get in some reading at odd moments 3a: being without a corresponding (see CORRESPONDING sense 1) mate; an odd shoe
3: left over after others are paired or grouped; came without his wife and thus turned out to be the odd guest at the party (2): separated from a set or series; had in his possession only two or three odd volumes of the original 12-volume set
4a: being any of the integers (such as −3, −1, +1, and +3) that are not divisible by two without leaving a remainder b: marked by an odd number of units needed; two odd-length boards, one of three feet and one of five feet
My first odd square is a peculiar sight – colourful flowers coming from the snow. Of course they are fake flowers. We don’t get flowers in February in Canada.

I cleaned off my art table and I am now ready to start painting again. Yay!

After waiting five months we finally had our new couch delivered.

After closing down because of COVID restrictions the Centennial Park Conservatory reopened yesterday. What a wonderful time just browsing and taking photos of these beautiful flowers.
