Christmas for the Dogs at the Berczy Dog Fountain

….in a downtown Toronto park

Last week I attended a luncheon for the Women’s Musical Club of Toronto at a popular restaurant close to Union Station. I took the Go Train ( a short trip from the station close to my house) and I walked to the restaurant which was only a couple of blocks away. As I approached the Flatiron Building I noticed that the park behind it has been decorated for Christmas. Berczy Park was redesigned by Claude Cormier ( no relation) in 2015 and features a fountain with 27 dogs looking up to the top where a bone is perched. There is also one cat facing north looking at a couple of birds. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berczy_Park

Getting Ready for Two Shows

…a very busy week

Today. Kevin and I are participating in a Holiday Gift Fair at Montgomery’s Inn. Originally I was only going to display our photo and art cards and a few small paintings but I decided to fill in the display with some Christmas items that I whipped up in the last few days. Here is a sample of what’s going on our table.

On Friday I’m going to Women’s Art, downtown to help set up the next show called Small Gems. It’s our annual fundraiser where all the art is small and costs no more than $400.00 but averages at about $120.00. I’m submitting three pieces from my last show so all the hard work is done. Saturday is the official opening reception which I will also be attending.

Kevin’s Winter Inspired Art

…now that the outdoor studio has closed for the winter Kevin is using his iPad to create art

The following pieces were all created using Procreate, a wonderful program to make digital art. I’m amazed at how much he produces in a week. All these winter themes were inspired by our trip to the east coast and in particular the Annapolis Valley in Nova Scotia.
