one thing I love to do is photographing the horses at my friends farm

this is the first time I've done a transfer of this size

surprisingly it wasn't that difficult , just time consuming

 left "grazing" and right "two sisters"

 my latest paintings where inspired by my country drive to owen sound on the may longweekend

the skies went from grey to blue, the fields where array of greens and along side the roads

the remnants of last fall
------
the foreground grasses where picked from the garden at the cottage
 and the rusted nails used for the fence i found at a yard sale along the way

country time

country craft time part 2

my weekend project consisted of several items found in my stash

some vintage lace, fabric flower (from the steam trunk) cameo (from my friend carmi)

pearls, beads and crystal chandelier pieces

for the background a little felt and soutache cord to tie it all together 

(I'm almost finished, I will post it soon)



driving around the county roads we found a wool shop in shelborne

woollys yarns who where having a great sale

12 balls of yarn for under $60

a barn sale and antique market was a great spot for buttons, doilies and beads

plus a few good photos for instagram

 

 

country crafting

away for a country crafting weekend with my friend ludgera

the best way to celebrate our birthdays is to make art, drive the country roads

take photos, go to the local market, maybe find a barn sale

(above , part of ludgera's quilt, hopefully she will have it all finished before we leave

I'm working on some jewelry)
