Art Fayre

Once again, the Pioneer Museum in Dunvegen, Ontario is hosting the Art Fayre, a show and sale of artworks created by 17 local artists, including me. My submission this year is "Waterfront", a 36" by 48" acrylic painting. It is a bit 3D, with the "mirror effect" paint on the surface of the water, the swirling lines giving a connecting texture to the whole image, and the raised stones with inclusions of sand, pebbles and snail shells along the bottom third.


Here you also see my newly opened irises in the evening light. Nature is astounding!

Irises and Puppies

The month of May has been cold and wet. My irises were waiting for a warm day to finally bloom....and bloom they did.... yesterday. They have a very special exotic scent to match their spectacular form and color. I'm a happy gardener today!

My friend asked me to help her weigh her 3-week old golden retriever puppies. They weigh between 1.5 and 3 lbs. We also clipped their tiny little claws so they wouldn't hurt each other as they pile up on top of each other for a nap. Here you see them all snoozing away in a big cuddly heap.
