…thanks to Becky B for hosting September Squares Seven https://thesquaresofb.com/2024/09/04/seven-squares-4/
Wednesday is baking day for me at the Inn. Yesterday I made the dough and today we shape the dough into loaves or boles and bake them in our outdoor wood fired oven.
…a little bit of art every day for the month of March
This form of mark making is very relaxing. Thanks to Amy Maricle for reminding me how much I enjoy this.
….I secretly love gnomes
Thanks to Becky B for hosting Bright Square. Every day this month we are encouraged to take square photos of anything bright. Here is my newest addition to my gnome collection and it is certainly the brightest one I have. I suspect after one summer in the sun it will fade like the others but that will just add to his character. https://beckybofwinchester.com/2021/04/04/bright-square-4/
….day 4 of Sketchbook Revival with Tamara Laporte
In one of today’s Sketchbook Revival classes we meet Tamara Laporte. I’ve watched some of her classes before but I think this is the first time I’ve completed an assignment. It was a lot of fun and I think I may go back to her site and try some more.
This owl was first sketched with pencil and then watercolour was applied. Along the way marker, ink, pencil and acrylic paint pens were used to add detail.
…thanks to Becky B for hosting the Square Perspective Challenge
For the month of July, Becky B is challenging all of us to take square photos that highlight ‘perspective’. Yesterday’s entry, that I’m posting today, is a cat taken taken from above. I was hoping he would look up at me but I had to be satisfied with his back.
….day 4 with Leanne Cole’s 30 Day Challenge
…..my attempt at free form poetry
Sisters and Cousins
Sisters
sibling rivalry
shared memories
some bad but mostly good
some forgotten
others not
separated by marriage and distance
reunited by an aging parent
and children
Cousins
offspring of the sisters
separate lives
because of distance,
circumstance and work
a longing for family connection
reunited because of their children
an unbreakable bond of love
Four generations; Dad, my sister and I, my youngest daughter and her daughter and my sister’s son and daughter and her daughter’s son.
Thanks to Rainee for hosting The 30 Day Creativity Challenge
….thanks to Becky B for hosting #JanuaryLights
Over at the mall a lot of natural daylight comes through the amazing skylights over the stores, especially in the new additions that were recently completed. This skylight is one of the original ones that went in during the last major renovation about 20 years ago. 
….thanks to Granny Shot It for hosting the Eleven Day Hallowe’en Challenge
….day 4 of Sketchbook Revival
This lesson was brought to us by Angela Fehr. Her approach to painting is to let the paint take you to the next step. It’s a very zen like experience after you lay down the first color and then let your intuition guide your next step. I used watercolour on watercolour paper. The only thing I would do differently next time is do it on a larger piece of paper.
