We saw and heard this musician playing on the street in Vancouver. Even this bird caught the rhythm and had to try out a few fancy steps.

Waves of Steel

Seeing this gull land on a rooftop on Granville Island, B.C. made me wonder if from a bird’s eye view, the corrugated steel roof may have looked like the inviting ripples of an ocean bay. Does this imply that he was gull-ible? After a hard landing and no gentle motion of the water to greet it, the bird would welcome a retreat to the foggy skies above.

Models come in all shapes and sizes. The good ones can hold a pose (not as easy as you think) and then sometimes it happens that they can impart a sense of grace and beauty and feeling that makes everyone in the room do better work.

Last Blooms of Summer

August 22, 2014 Art Blog, Uncategorized 1 Comment

Definitely worth waiting for. These delicate flowers have been slowly developing while everything else went crazy in my flower bed this year. The sketch doesn’t do them justice but I wouldn’t change a thing. This quick little study reminds me to take time and ‘sketch’ the flowers. Done on one of the few really nice days, we’ve had in a loonngggg time after I had finished up weeding and sat down in the shade. Nice memory.

Late bloomers are often the best.
