Getting Ready for Two Shows
…a very busy week
Today. Kevin and I are participating in a Holiday Gift Fair at Montgomery’s Inn. Originally I was only going to display our photo and art cards and a few small paintings but I decided to fill in the display with some Christmas items that I whipped up in the last few days. Here is a sample of what’s going on our table.
On Friday I’m going to Women’s Art, downtown to help set up the next show called Small Gems. It’s our annual fundraiser where all the art is small and costs no more than $400.00 but averages at about $120.00. I’m submitting three pieces from my last show so all the hard work is done. Saturday is the official opening reception which I will also be attending.
Kevin’s Winter Inspired Art
…now that the outdoor studio has closed for the winter Kevin is using his iPad to create art
The following pieces were all created using Procreate, a wonderful program to make digital art. I’m amazed at how much he produces in a week. All these winter themes were inspired by our trip to the east coast and in particular the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.

Monster Monday – The Last Halloween Monster
…or maybe not but since Halloween was yesterday I suspect Kevin will move on
Wacky Bird Wednesday – Lost in my Spam Folder
…after two days of claiming that Kevin didn’t send me his latest Wacky Bird I found it in my spam folder
A very cute wacky bird.

Day 7 – A Day of Rest
….after 6 days of driving we decided to take it easy and explore Moncton and shop for birthday presents
We also decided to forgo the hotel breakfast and drove to a bakery that Gaelan introduced me to on my first visit to Moncton. At Copain we ordered coffee and some of the best croissants we’ve ever had.
Then we drove to Michael’s and bought two frames for art that we had gifted to Gaelan and Winnie and some art supplies for Winnie’s birthday.
After shopping I dropped Kevin back at the hotel and I went to Gaelan’s house to do some laundry. When Winnie came home from school we drove to Bulk Barn and picked up some candy and a piñata for her birthday.
That evening Kevin and I had a date night and went into downtown Moncton for a great meal. We went to the Tide and Boar where we shared a plate or Smokey wings. They were so delicious and so big that I had second thoughts about what I wanted for my main course. Our waitress suggested that we share the plate of seafood pasta, a T&B salad and the dessert. It was perfect.
The restaurant is actually a brew pub and the dessert we had was a deconstructed ‘beeramisu’. The topping was made with a reduced stout. Surprisingly delicious!
