Too Sick For Christmas

 I have strep.  I am unwell.  Stayed home to avoid infecting everybody.

Happy holidays! 😷🤧😳🥴😕

Oh December.

Had the Christmas gig at the Bassment this afternoon.  I have been sick all week with the flu.  Not yet 100% but better than I was at the gig on Tuesday.   I’d like to feel better now.   This, plus a bout of SAd has made for a most unpleasant month.   Here’s to better day starting now.  

I Do Enjoy Tutoring!

Just finished another Fall Term tutoring at King George.  Finished with the kids last week and wrote reports today.  So enjoyed Jarod, Christopher, Kyle, Maidie, Wedjan and Liberty.  Looking forward to another session in the spring!  (Bonus Julia Roberts picture from Samantha Kinzel! 😂)

Adventures In Art #32

 3 years in the making but I finally finished this today!!!

Farewell, my friend.

I’m so sad to hear that Joan passed away this morning.  I will miss her encouragement and support of my art and her friendship.  Farewell, birthday buddy.   I sure love you.

Adventures In Art #31-Allied Arts Council Of Pincher Creek Juried Member Show At The Lebel Gallery

Lucky to have another painting accepted into this year’s Juried Members Exhibition.  So drove to Lees for the weekend to drop it off.  Found out I sold one of the big paintings there from last year!  😊. Les came for belated Thanksgiving supper and we had belated birthday pie with Maureen and Trent this morning before I left.  

Adventures In Art #30- Bredenbury Daycare Online Auction

Adventure In Art #29- Primitive Firing Workshop With Janice In Martensville

Despite it being the first cold days of fall, I spent the last 2 days doing obvara, raku, saggar and horsehair pottery firings out at Janice’s in Martensville with 4 others.  So, so fun!

Alright, my pretties.  What shall we do with you?

Some obvara.

1,000 F was the sweet spot for these guys!

Some Saggar.

Some raku (with glass).

Some horsehair using Ghost Blue Interference Mica Powder mixed with terra sigillata.  

All good! 😊👍🏼
