See Squared

I know this title is a tad corny, but wait until you see what I've been working on! I have always wanted to add a bit of permanent marker, so I decided today was a great day to try it on! Drawing on the canvas without a support underneath tends to cause the pen to drift and look unsteady (a bit wiggly). Next time it try this method out, I will support the canvas in order to lessen the springiness of the canvas.

Phase I

Phase II

Frantic Friday

Sorry, there is no painting or anything creative today....I've been busy playing. Yup, I confess spent the afternoon prepping for dinner and playing golf.

I know it's a creative crime....but the weather was just too beautiful to past up. Both today and yesterday was spent on the golf course. I loved every minute of it, well at least the good shots!

Until next time.....happy creating

It's A Tad Crazy!

I've just entered the "busiest" season in my little life. I've got working part time at Hudson Bay, golf, keeping in shape at the gym, summer week inCannon Beach with the family, future travels to Peru with Laura and Paul to trek to Machu Picchu and of course fantastic weather and almost every weekend is jammed packed with mini festivals!!!

We are also planning yet another household move for September 1st...finding an apartment was challenging, however we did managed to rent in a rental building a newly renovated suite. Totally gutted. The renovations are to be completed by September 1st! It's located in James Bay across from Beacon Hill Park. The suite is a little bit smaller and has only one bathroom but fantastic views. I am really looking forward to setting up my little art space...I am very happy about that indeed.

Although life is crazy busy, I'm still trying to complete a couple of pieces every week.

Today's was a bit rushed and more abstract, I do love the colours!

Until next time...happy creating

Victoria's Beauty

I cannot believe that I live in such a beautiful, little city. Everywhere I go lately is in full blown activity. The early summer activities have already started and this weekend is no exception with the inner harbour full of lean sailing vessels for "Swift Sure" - a sailing competition around Vancouver Island.

The rhododendrons are almost finished with an array of colours carpeting the ground underneath and the hanging baskets are just getting started! Goodbye spring...hello summer!

May Two Four Weekend

This is a weekend very close to my heart. Forty years ago I married my best friend. What better way to spend the weekend then with dinner and friends. Oh my, how the years fly by....kinda of like how "time flies by"... I don't seem to have a lot of "creative time" these days. Maybe I will have to reconsider and take the summer off. I really don't want to do this...however, if I do miss a post here and there it is totally okay. Right!!

We had a very special out-of-town guest this week from Kingston.... an old friend and loads of memories.

We visited Butchart Gardens...the peonies were just perfect. However, the peonies at Government House were already spent. What!!!


Here is what I managed to create using the peonies as my inspiration.

Sick Day

I have an infection and started a round of antibiotics. The grandchildren were very generous in sharing their germs. I promise to create something for my next post.

Until next time...happy creating
