Life Of Pi

  Loved the book, movie and now the stage production! 






Kelowna and Vernon

After leaving Victoria, I drove to Kelowna at a great Air B and B with a pool and hot tub for a few day which afforded me the luxury to do some painting in Kelowna and to go and check out the AiR in Vernon I have in March.  It looks amazing.  The next day I stopped at the Art Centre in Vernon and Pat Doyle was working!  She gave me a tour.  Omg!  It’s amazing…like the one in Fallbrook and it’ll be just down the hill from where I’ll be staying.  I’m already looking forward to taking advantage of all it will have to offer-pottery, glass, painting, drawing, printmaking!  It’s gonna be awesome!

Adventures in Art #25: Eudes Correia Workshop in Victoria

“The first layer, the watercolor works for me.

The second layer, I work for the watercolor.”

-Eudes Correia 


Just an amazing 3 days with Eudes again.  This time in Victoria, B. C. (Saanich).  Again, a warm and wonderful group assembled to learn from this Master of watercolor.  A truly kind, generous and wonderful man.  I’m so lucky to have been able to watch and learn from him.   And, a bonus en plein air evening at Brentwood Bay where I merely observed (and videoed) and then had a wonderful supper with some classmates.  Great Brazilian music, good meals, great company.  An experience not soon forgotten!  So very grateful!
