Judy’s Numbers Game – Which of Your Photos Have the Number 190?
…all photos are identified with letters and numbers
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.
Days 48 and 49
…catching up ….sketching in my art journal
I haven’t posted my art pages in over a week. It’s not that I haven’t been making art but I have been reading a lot, playing bridge, going to a birthday party for 1 year old twins, participating in Book Club, attending an afternoon concert and shopping for mats so I can frame some of my art.
The following two pieces are all sketches
Days 50, 51 and 53 are coming tomorrow.

Day 42 – Lesson Three
…from Christina Romeo’s class
Today we were to take our watercolour papers from Day 1 and find shapes that can be turned into fantasy creatures. I found an old man, a lamb, a fish, a gorilla and a couple birds.
