A Roof With Memories – June Square

…thanks to Becky B for hosting June Squares – roofs

Today is the last day of June and also the last day for June Squares. In my travels along Bloor Street last week I passed an old building that holds many memories for me. It is UTS where I completed my teacher training before embarking on my 41 year career (35 years of actual teaching with 6 years off looking after my children). Not all the memories are positive but I did learn at great deal within these old walls.

Another Downtown Church – June Squares

…thanks to Becky B for hosting June squares – roofs

This is Trinity Bellwood United Church on Bloor St. in Toronto. I’ve lived in this city most of my life and this year was the first time I set foot in the place. Actually I’ve been there three times for three different concerts. A wonderful venue for music.

365 Days of Art – It’s Been Awhile

….day 114

It’s been way too long since I last posted some of my art. I finally completed an assignment given by Carla Sonheim last Friday. I had to go outside and collect items from nature and then bring them back and create a design using my found materials. Once that was done I used pencil to quickly draw the design and then oil pastels to add colour.

I quite enjoyed the process and am now ready to produce more daily art studies. I might even put some paint on the canvas that has been sitting on my drawing table for a couple of weeks now.
