2 new girls

sisters!!!

Sweet face!!!

These 2 wonderful girls were having a nap on the sidewalk in front of a neighbour's in a donation bin. My heart skipped and I embraced them both in 1 big hug and took them home.  they are extremely well made both, with amazing details, craftsmanship, both have painted face on molded material and both have composition arms and legs, well, the black hair doll I am not sure it may be early plastic, or something else. They were both played with perhaps for more than a generation or 2, and suffered both a partial haircut.  other than that, a bit tattered but ever so charming! 

Once I have made a good series of photos, I will most likely post them to sell on my Etsy store!

a new facebook page

I have created a new facebook page for my Art. It is a private page but ...open to the public... if that makes sense.

I hope it will allow more people to see and know my work.

... if not, an excuse to ramble a little more!

My first painting after 2 years of quiet! ( lost my camera, took this with my computer (not very good!)

At last!!!

New studio!!!

I set my table in the large front room, in front of the tall windows, Love it soooo much!. I feel a sense of great peace when I am there, listening to the sounds of the street, birds, racoons,  the light filtered by the rose bush and trees, it's like a secret little paradise, just-for-me!!!

After 2 years of no serious painting, I have painted 2 new pieces and finished an old one!

Life is good. Paint it!

He made my day, my week, my year!

we always think the truth can only come from the scientific community. but that community has it's own agenda, which does not include your and my interest at heart. this denial of evidence is a society phenomenom,I guess the result of desilusion about the media, religion... but it has gone too far and we will turn into sheep if we don't start seeing and dealing with the truth.

reading comments, i saw this good old argument:
"Extroardinary claims require extraordinary evidence"
for me, the only extraordinary claim is the one (by scientists!!!) that we are the only intelligent form in this gigantic universe. wait, really? I think I need a proof of that ridiculous claim!!!. Not only that. but the probability that there isn't, out there, species millions of years more advanced... is infinitely small. there. basic statistic. logic. I think this crazy idea that we are alone did not originated in science, but in religion. it makes no sense.


ok. done rambling.

Longuing for Art!

I am taking 3 weeks off work and will try to paint and create. I have a lot on the go but this is the ideal time to put on paper or wood all the ideas I have been chanelling in last few months and which I have attempted to capture in my note book and my small head!

There will be an update!

With Alina at Mrs Huizenga!

Art is back!!! I have joined a small group of Artists for an awsome evening at Mrs Huizenga (http://mrshuizenga.com/) of art, music and wine...
Yeap: it was great!

Alina Martiros, who organized it all was awesome, she was full of contagious enthousiasm and I got a very good feeling about it... Perhaps the begining of a great little artist group... Time will tell!

We painted what ever inspired us in the shop: an alibaba-of-wonderland of vintage things, lost treasures, antiques, full of stories and history!!! I picked a beautifull old canadian jacket... you know... "the" canadian jacket: intense red quilt wool, so thick it is actually quite heavy, with a round large gorgeous colar and an awesome old label: had to do this!

I will post once it is finished!
