A birthday

A vignette from my backyard

 

a larger view of the flowers

It is the Labour Day long weekend here, it marks the end of the summer season.  I have made plans to walk with a friend at the end of this week.  She (correctly) decided we should wear our masks as we are not in the same small social circle.  We plan to get coffee at Panera Bread and perhaps sit on a public bench nearby.  It is her birthday weekend and we have not seen each other since the pandemic started.  

Beer battered fillets

These are Highliner beer battered fillets.  They are quite good and it saves the mess of making one's own especially if they are on sale.  We do love fried food on occasion.  

Times have changed

 I didn't get this one immediately but it is a good one!

This is an interesting article from a 1958 McCall Magazine.  It features advice on how to get a husband.

Paint Party Friday - Quintuple Rainbow ACEO

 Welcome to Paint Party Friday!  This a Quintuple Rainbow, an ACEO ( 2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on canvas in permanent markers (and alcoholic ink marker for the blue background).  I have seen photographs of these quintuple rainbows so they do exist.  Hope this gives you a happy feeling today!  This one looks more of an abstract I realize.  

Rain's Thursday Art Date - The Masters

Welcome to Rain's Thursday Art Date's 'The Masters' theme.

 I decided to do my take on Picasso's 'Bouquet of Peace'.  You can see his painting and information on his art if you follow the link.  In Picasso's painting, the hands holding the flowers are of two different people as they are both right hands, but you may not notice at first glance.  I did the same in my piece which is an ACEO (2 1/2" x 3 1/2") on canvas outlined with a Pentel Sketch pen and coloured in with alcohol ink markers. 

May years ago I had bought an inexpensive print of this Picasso painting because I just loved it.  A friend saw it and wondered how it could be considered good art.  It did not appeal to her and as such art is very subjective isn't it?

Paper agenda

Well it is that time of year, I bought my 2021 paper agenda/planner. Yes I still use one, how about you?
