When I explore gardens (my friends’ gardens, and mine too, although my garden is very dry at this point), I keep a sharp eye out for lines. Here is a pair of pictures of a squash plant… Soon, it will be time to start sketching.

I wander the beaches of this island several times a week. There is so much beauty in the bits of flotsam left behind by the tide, I am having trouble distilling it.

Next Thursday, August 12, the Saturna Café hosts another show. This time, it’s Elizabeth McColl’s turn to wow us with her photos from Mexico. If you are on Saturna, this is one more excuse to go enjoy a meal with friends, while looking at some great photography!  Elisabeth McColl, Gate (San Miguel, Mexico), 2009 Studies in Light  Girl in Red Dress, 2008 - Nancy Angermeyer This week, Tuesday to be precise, there is an art opening on the island. Artist Nancy Angermeyer will present several of her works at the local café, and I look forward to the ethereal ambiance these pieces will add to the room all summer long. Her work evokes dream-like travels through a time machine.
Musings The weather has improved and there is plenty to do around the house and garden. Still, planning excursions – even to the big city – can be fun. I am making lists of places to visit this summer, and Vancouver is on my list. Do you need an excuse to check out Vancouver this summer? Well, here is one from the textile art file. TIME WARP Time Warp is the first major exhibition to feature the contemporary practice of textile and fibre art on the Northwest Coast. The show celebrates 22 emerging, mid-career and internationally recognized Aboriginal textile artists, (20 female, 2 male), from Alaska, The Yukon, BC, and Washington State. |
