I donated a piece to the Penticton Art Gallery, the Kamloops Art Gallery and will drive the piece up to Vernon for Gallery Vertigo tomorrow. Cameron has a gig at the bliss cafe so we will sand and prime before the gig, I will drive to Vernon and then join him in Peachland. After that we come home and get back to work.

Painting for Gallery Vertigo is a rendition of a Raphael work I find very sensual.

What the weather says..

Rain, wind, sun, clouds, sun, big wind. We had serious multiple personality expressions in the weather today. Cameron and I soldiered on and got all of the dry wall up and mudded and taped. Today, for a change, I swept, vaccumed and mopped the floor four times. Keeping the dry wall dust out of every surface in the house is an agean stables activity meant to increase my flexibility both physically and psychologically.

I did take a break to work in the garden for about an hour. The new wavy waterfall of bamboo grass that I bought promises to spill luxuriously down from a planter a distance of five feet. It will be fun to watch it develop.

A friend, Ann Tracy, sent through an email saying a place in Florida wants alligator art so I worked on that while I waited for the dust and grit and dirt to build up again. I am including the three versions that I created.

It sounds salacious but it just means that we got the sale item bathtub mortared in place. While Cameron was making the drains and connections work, I dug out all the ivy under the tree that had been attacking my neighbour’s side of the fence for the last three years. I am amazed at how patient she was with me and my invasive three types of ivy. Not to mention the grape that likes to hurl itself over the top of the fence and go after their small dogs. ( Perhaps I am exaggeration).

I got the stone patio in, planted the pink star-fire zinnias, sweet peas ( too late, too hot) and Asters. More sweeping, mopping, wiping building residue off of the walls.

Ten days left for the bathroom completion deadline. Will we make it?

Posted on by

Today I made two trips to the dump, mowed the front lawn, used the weed eater to clean up edges, weeded and watered. Because my neighbour is on the garden tour in Kelowna and dozens of people were parking on our block and walking past my house, I had an expiation of guilt over the condition on my yard. At least the roses were magnificently showy. Too bad the lawn is partially dead due to the neglect of our flying off to Europe.

I cleared a great deal of the back yard, got part of the home studio floor cleared and laundry complete. Cameron worked away on the bathroom. My role seems to be to find the hiding tool, run to the hard ware store, fix some uninspired, badly prepared meals and keep him supplied with coffee.

After I cleaned the floor…again!! Well the urge to go have a bath was strong. Paint splattered clothes and hair came off. The dark ring in the tub from the last ablution had to be scrubbed out. I washed my hair, put on the tissue thin dress I brought back from Vienna and lay on the deck under the stars. Watching the wind knead the clouds into varying shapes, listening to the trees catching the breezes and eating cherries was such a beautiful time after the day’s relentless activities, that I thought about how these moments are the ones that really “count” not the days we are counting down.

What is Urban Art?

Art which is most powerful in a contemporary/urban setting seems to bloom when it is placed for maximum effect. I was very pleased when Rob Chetner of TC Homes emailed me and asked if I could place my art in his new waterfront development on the West Side of Kelowna.

Why visit Vienna? Nasch Market and Trolley travel

Posted on by

After the opening of the Disparate Voices show, we all climbed in the hot car and drove back to Vienna proper. Once we were there, we headed out to the Art Gallery Fair. Most of the Galleries in the inner-city area were in evidence and we got an opportunity to view a cross section of what is being created and sold in the contemporary art scene in Austria. Exhausted as we all were, we were fascinated to explore what others are producing.

That evening we were planning to go to the Nasch market but none of us could scrape up the energy. Cameron and I elected to go on a following day.
