Tuesday Textures in Art

I love texture in art

I am very much drawn to colour when it comes to art but I also love the use of actual textures. It is very hard not to touch art that uses textural materials. At WAAC there is a show on right now, called Collage and there are several pieces with loads of texture. I’m a big fan of Deniz Seker, Janet Potter, Margaret Rodgers and now Catharina Goldnau.

Odd Grouping in a High End Store – Feb. 7, 2022

When I go to a upscale department store the last thing I expect to see is a display of oddly coloured and oddly arranged fuzzy slippers.

In the neighbourhood we have utility boxes that are normally grey and boring but lately artists when bee commissioned to paint them. Here are a few in my neighbourhood.

Coloured Snow – Square Odds

thanks to Becky B for hosting February Squares, https://beckybofwinchester.com/2022/02/03/the-square-odds-3/

Clearly the snow is coloured by humans and I suspect there are children in this house who had a wonderful time creating these colourful discs of ice to add to the snow bank on their front yard.

Walking in -13 Degree Weather

surprisingly pleasant

Last week the temperatures dipped well below zero but the sun was shining and winds were minimal. I put on a pair of long johns, my big blue parka, my scarf, hat and my warmest mitts and off I went. I was surprisingly warm. I invested in a good pair of winter hiking boots a few years ago and I’ve never experienced cold feet.

I kept my phone in the pocket of my coat and I worried that the cold might affect the battery but I was able to take a lot of photos and it held up well against the cold. Here are a few shots of things that I saw on my walk that day. Enjoy!
