Waiting

Waiting in A Coruna, Spain airport. After walking the Camino we were enroute to Bilbao. Required much time on buses and waiting in airports. As always lousy food and boredom.

Haven't blogged in a long time

We have been traveling in Spain, walking the Camino from Sarria to Santiago . About 115 km in total for us. Just amazing experience. Soon home and back to painting and teaching.

Paintings and rather strange photos from the cottage

Two ways of expression

Here are two of my paintings, still on Toronto island. The first is a palette tear off, some say it's a tick, others the head of a cow, others two people talking intimately. The second is a Plien Aire  of one of the lagoons here. Both are acrylics on birch panels.

Toronto Island

I am on Toronto Island with a group of female artists at Artscape Gibralter Point, a residence and studio place for artists and writers. We are all members of the Gallery Painting Group in London, On. These are two of my painting this week so far. We have had some terrific rain storms and some great sunshine today. There are seven of us so we are calling ourselves the Gang of Seven!

So I have recently discovered that many viewers thought I was posting a freshly done painting each week. But no, my intent was to post a painting each week for a year regardless of when it was done. Some have been brand new, others are old friends.
