January Squares – The Last Ones
… I can’t believe that January Squares is over today
Thanks Becky for hosting this month’s square challenge about light. The light that comes through a greenhouse allows the public to enjoy flowers year round. 
I’m sure a missed a few days so here are some more squares of light; twilight, coloured lights, and a back lit spaceman.

…thanks to Rainee for hosting the 30 Day Creativity Challenge
Last week I had an opportunity to go to the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg and see the Maud Lewis show. I’ve been interested in her art and life for a few years now but have never had an opportunity to see her work up close and personal. To be honest I was always a bit curious about her success as an artist because her work is so simple and somewhat primitive.
Maud used to sell her work to tourists who would buy her pieces for $3.00 to $5.00 and later she got as much as $7.00 for one of her oil paintings. She used to paint right from the tube and never mix her colours. This was very evident when I saw her work last week. The colours are very bright and fresh and the scenes of the countryside in Nova Scotia are delightful. I can now understand why the public liked her work so much.
Anytime I go to an art gallery I’m inspired to make art. Here are a few of her wonderful works of art. The larger pieces are done on wooden shutters.
