365 Days of Art – Collage Challenge

Posted on April 4, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..day 62 and 63 and week 11 and 12

I’m a little behind with the collage challenge that Evelyn Flint started so I’ve done two weeks back to back. The first one was a numbers challenge. Randel Plowman who wrote The Collage Workbook instructed his readers to create a collage with numbers, either spelled out or in numeric form.

For Week 12 the theme is typography. This collage was created using letters and type from a variety of sources.

Week 13 should prove to be interesting. It’s called Secret Message. Stay tuned for more collages.

…..not as late as last week’s Challenge

Thanks Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. Your challenges always challenge me to look for the unusual and sometimes mundane subjects. Here are a few shots that I took on my walk a few days ago.

These seagulls let you get pretty close before they waddle away. I think they’re eternal optimists and hope that all humans have food for them.

My odd ball photos range from a line outside a Portuguese chicken place on Easter Sunday, leftover donuts after Easter dinner, my goofy Easter bunny husband, soapy dish water, Lambert the mascot at my local yarn shop to an unusual sculpture at the RBG.

Cee’s Which Way Photo Challenge – March 23, 2018

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Mama Cormier

….I know I’m a bit late on this one but today seemed a good day to post photos from last week

Thanks to Cee for hosting the Which Way Photo Challenge. It’s been dreary and wet all day today and what a better time to post my sunny photos from last week when my husband, daughter and I took Olive for a walk to High Park. We walked along Bloor Street, past fruit markets, through tunnels and down a descending sidewalk towards the park entrance.

Once in the park we headed towards the off leash area where we could let Olive run free. She loved it. I love the off leash area in High Park because it is made up of fenced in trails and if you’re a walker it’s a great way to get in some steps and fresh air.

It was a great day. On the way back we walked down hill, then up hill, back through the tunnel and then we took a short cut up a flight of stairs which took us up the the rail path. All in all I clocked over 15 000 steps that day.

Thursday Doors – March 29, 2018

Posted on March 29, 2018 by Mama Cormier

…..I love red doors

Thanks to Norm for hosting Thursday Doors. I haven’t participated in awhile. It seems like I haven’t been anywhere exciting or interesting enough to take photos of doors lately. Walking home from the library the other day I started to notice some beautiful red doors in the neighbourhood and I had recently taken a photo of a red door in my daughter’s neck of the woods.

With that in mind I decided to focus on the colour of doors and with that in mind I could have a different theme each week for quite some time. So that said here are my first photos of RED doors.
