…finished just in time to enter in the next members show at WAAC
In February the members show at the Women’s Art Association of Canada is titled Monochrome Moments. After making the smaller piece on Monday evening, I decided to make two larger pieces for the show yesterday. Weaving on canvas is a lot of fun.
Both these pieces are 12 x 12 x 2 inches.

This week’s number is 179.
…for the next couple of days
In an art journal sometimes it’s good to prep pages ahead of time, especially if you’re using wet paint or glue. Hopefully I’ll be inspired to create something from the papers and paint that I have already laid down.

I love typing in the number into the search box on my photos page. I never know what’s going to come up. Try it, it’s a lot of fun.
It’s so cool when some of photos actually have the number 178 in them. Can you find it?
…days 6 and 7 of my Art Journey
Not everything that I post will be good. I do feel, however, that I should post my artworks, good or bad so that I can see and have a record of my progress. I know that I’m not a particularly good artist when I draw realistic subjects but I’d like to get better so I’m going to try to improve my drawing skills. Instead of flowers I’m going to try my hand at animals.
My first attempt in my Art Journey for 2025 is that of a Frenchie. I also went back to the collage that I had started up at the cottage and added more marks and a couple of old photographs that I came across when I was sorting through my collage papers.
…while waiting for the laundry to be done I did find some inspiration to work in my journal
I’ve always loved drawing florals so I picked up my Micron pen and started to draw over the collage I had glued down last night.
…after 6 wonderful days with Andrea and Olive
This is the first time in many years that I’ve experienced this much snow. Our cottage on Christian Island ( a mere 10 minutes from here to the ferry dock) is not winterized and the road up the north shore is not ploughed regularly, if at all.
While Andrea logs onto work today, I’ll be doing laundry and packing to go home. Once that is done I may do some more art or continue reading my book, Doppelgänger. Yesterday I prepped a couple of pages in my art journal and I might continue with one or both pages if I’m inspired.
Hopefully we’ll find some time after lunch to go for another walk. It’s considerably warmer today and it has finally stopped snowing.

…more snow
Since Sunday the snow has come down every day. There’s a good 12 inches (25 to 30 cm) on the ground and it just keeps coming. Andrea and I were going to go for a drive but thought better of it when we checked the forecast.
Olive loves the snow. The worst part for her and probably for her humans is getting dressed to go out.
Once outside you can see from the snow on the railings how much more snow had fallen.
…it’s been close to a year since I’ve pulled out my art supplies
I’m at my daughter’s cottage for several days and since she’s working up here we both thought it would be a good time for me to start putting some marks onto paper again. I gathered up a few supplies and my mixed media art journal and started with baby steps towards continuing my art journey.
It’s the perfect setting. Quiet and restful with wonderful views of the forest and the falling snow. Here’s my first piece after playing with collage and mark making.
