…looking through the archives
All these trios came from my 2016 archives but one photo is clearly over 40 years old. Can you pick out which one it is?

Shadows Cast in Venice
…thanks to Becky B for hosting November Shadows https://thesquaresofb.com/2025/11/10/shadow-square-10/
One of my favourite places in the world is Venice and I feel privileged to have visited there 9 years ago. With climate change and rising sea levels I’m not sure that I’ll see Venice again.

I decided to look back in my archives to see if I could share some oldies but goodies. From Niagara Falls to Ireland to Venice and everywhere in between from 2012 to 2016.

Weekly Prompts Weekend Challenge – Bridges
…thanks to Sue W and GC for hosting Weekly Prompts https://weeklyprompts.com/2024/01/20/weekly-prompts-weekend-challenge-bridge/
Ever since I started teaching the unit on Bridges from the grade 5 curriculum I’ve been somewhat obsessed with them. I love bridges but I wish I had more photos. The following bridges are from Venice, Florence, Loire Valley in France, London over the Thames, from Ontario, P.E.I., New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.
The Second Large Painting is Finished
…a very late night and a good chunk of today taken up making this painting
This one gave me a bit of trouble. The background was relatively simple to complete but the foreground just didn’t pop and the lavender didn’t stand out. After a consultation with our daughter, we came up with a couple of solutions to fix the problem. Along the way I made a few other changes as well and I think I can finally call this one finished.
“Lavender Hills in Assisi”
15″ x 30″ on stretched canvas – acrylic paint and mixed media
Now I just have to sign it, seal it and wire it.
