Monsters – A Work in Progress
….or maybe two
The first monster my husband sent me today was titled A Work in Progress. When I asked him if it was unfinished he said it might be but then soon after he sent me a second monster with no title. I am so pleased that he’s enjoying working on his new iPad with Procreate. The goal is to take some of his original paintings and put them into a children’s book. Procreate will help him with backgrounds and give his paintings that finished look that you need for publishing your work.
Here are the two latest monsters.
Texture Tuesday – Textures in Fibre Arts
….textures at the Assembly Hall
On my walk yesterday I went further than I have in months. It was a cool but gorgeous day as I made my way over to the Assembly Hall. It was about a 6K walk there and back. When I reached the hall I discovered that there was an art show on display called Herstory. It was put together by a group of Women from the Niagara Women’s Collective (SWFT) showcasing unique stories of women with overlapping experiences.
Some of my favourite pieces were the soft sculptures by Debra Jackson-Jones and Mori McCrae.
I also enjoyed Francie McGlynn’s paintings that included soft woven patches of fabric and hard edged buttons.
For those of you who live close by, the show runs till March 29, 2023 at the Assembly Hall Gallery at 1 Colonel Samuel Smith Park Dr., Toronto, ON.

Sunday Trees – March 21, 2021
….I’m hoping Becca Givens returns soon to continue hosting this challenge
Spring has officially started but in my neck of the woods there are still no leaves or blossoms on the trees.
Kammie’s Odd Ball Challenge – March 21, 2019
….thanks to Kammie for continuing The Odd Ball Challenge
An oddly strange street performer in London, England.
Pylons to keep people from walking on the wet cement. It didn’t work. I saw one woman walk right through it and went up to her ankle in cement.
Pans for the focaccia, oiled and ready for the dough.
