A Week of Art
…enjoying other people’s art
Last Thursday I enjoyed a concert in the afternoon put on by the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto. They featured the tenor Asitha Tennekoon with pianist Steven Philcox and a string quartet. Here is short description of this man’s musical journey into opera.

After this very moving concert I walked over WAAC and took in the the show featuring photography for this year’s Contact Show.
On Saturday Kevin and I drove to the Better Living Building and spent a couple hours exploring the beautiful art at the Toronto Art Project. It was fun meeting artists that we followed on Instagram and conversing with new artists.
On Saturday Kevin and I continued our our art filled weekend and took the train into the city and enjoyed an afternoon listening to a big band group of young people , the Angela Pincente Orchestra at the famous Rex.
The Rex is Toronto’s oldest jazz club.https://www.therex.ca/events/angela-pincente-large-ensemble-9gmm4-txnft-w799d-h3m7j

On our first trip to London, England back in 2018, we paid a visit to Canada House to check out the Group of Seven Guitar Project. Each guitar represented a different member of Canada’s Group of Seven.

Two Days of Art and Culture
…a little opera and lots of paintings
On Thursday I made my way downtown to listen to a wonderful opera singer, Midori Marsh.
Midori was the winner of the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto 2024 Career Development Award.
After the concert I walked over to the Royal Museum of Ontario but didn’t get beyond the gift shop because you can no longer access the museum via the store. I’m hoping this is temporary.
I could have entered from the main entrance but I wanted to check out the show at WAAC which is a block north of the ROM.
When I arrived at Women’s Art I was greeted by this sandwich board.
The show is wonderful with very large and varied pieces. One year I’ll attempt a large piece so that I can participate in this show.

Today Kevin and I attended the Lambton Kingsway Annual Art Show. Kevin learned that one of the artists that he follows was exhibiting here so he wanted to meet her.
Day 61 – Chicken Scratch
…inspiration from Draw Yourself Calm by Amy Maricle
Slow drawing is very relaxing.
Repetition – Lesson 2 of the BB Bash
…day 57 of my daily art challenge
In this class we were suppose to choose a shape, mark or symbol and repeat it using any medium that we wanted. In the first piece I chose circles and paint markers.
In the next two pieces I used lines and symbols.
Day 55 – Getting Messy
…day 1 of a new course
BB Bash is a free 14 day course for mixed media artists intended to break the rules, trust your instincts and create confidence.
The first exercise was to get messy. Don’t try to control what goes on the paper. Don’t think about it. Just lay down colour, marks and experiment with different tools.
Daily Art Challenge – Collage and Sketching
…days 51 to 53
After reading the book The Dictionary of Lost Words I was inspired to create a double spread of collage and sketches that highlight some of the themes from Pip Williams’ book. The novel covers the making of the Oxford dictionary, protests by the suffragettes, World War 1, women as second class citizens, birth, death and romance.
