Monday Murals – In the Neighbourhood, February 21, 2022

….thanks to Sami for hosting Monday Murals https://sami-colourfulworld.blogspot.com/2022/02/monday-mural-tribute-to-vincent-lingiari.html

In a past post that I did on Monday Murals I only did close-up shots of a mural that is painted on the side of a building on 1st Street. Someone asked me to take a shot of the entire mural, so here it is.

Today I walked along Lakeshore Blvd. for a total of 6 kilometres. On Ninth Street on the side of a Polish Credit Union is this mural dedicated to the Polish immigrants who live and work in the community.

Closer to 20th Street is this restaurant with this lovely whimsical mural above its outdoor patio.

Tuesday Textures in Art

I love texture in art

I am very much drawn to colour when it comes to art but I also love the use of actual textures. It is very hard not to touch art that uses textural materials. At WAAC there is a show on right now, called Collage and there are several pieces with loads of texture. I’m a big fan of Deniz Seker, Janet Potter, Margaret Rodgers and now Catharina Goldnau.

Whatever is so Lovely Challenge – Week 2

just discovered this challenge ….thanks to XingFu Mama for hosting https://xingfumama.blog/2022/01/16/whatsoever-is-lovely-challenge-2022-week-2/

Seeing I missed the first week of this challenge I’m going to post photos from the last two weeks. I met my youngest granddaughter for the first time over the Christmas holidays. On January 8th our son, daughter-in-law and Sevin returned to London, England after spending two weeks with us. The first two photos show Sevin just before she left for the airport and sleeping on the plane.

Tuesday Textures from the AGO

….I love texture in art pieces

There are two main types of texture in art: physical or actual texture that you can feel or the illusion of texture, created by lines and marks made on the canvas. The photos that I took at the AGO last week have actual textures that you can but probably shouldn’t touch.
