I’m so glad I stopped and did this hike. It was amazing. Muddy, lots of stumps, bit rough 2 km down (and then back up!😂) to it, but what a pay off at the end. A clear, warm, amazing day at the bottom. Not many people either. I guess your day really can be all sunshine and rainbows! Loved it!
Heather’s play and an alcohol ink workshop kept me busy in Victoria the weekend of February 7/8.
2 day Block Printing Workshop with Kathie Fielding in Youbou this weekend. She wasn’t much of a teacher but we made some cool stuff. Reduction Method, Speedball Inks, carving tools…lots to learn.
Nearly a bust on today’s road trip, but it’s so pretty it wasn’t too bad. On a quest to find sea glass. It was tough but found a bit. Almond croissant place was sold out. Hiking place hard to find. Bit cool. City reminded me or PA or Halifax. Bit rough. Might go back for the hikes I didn’t get to. We’ll see.
Nothing does my mind and body better the time at the ocean. Today was no exception at Botanical Beach. Priceless.
I am just home from a great 2 day pottery workshop on Salt Spring Island at the Hey Julie School Of Clay with Julie MacKinnon. Great instructor and facility and a potential pottery residency for September! 🤞🏼. We are going to further discuss. Stayed with Kim! Great weekend.
A much better end to the month of January and start to February!
Et voila!
Well, a nasty holiday season of being sick and feeling so awful and after a second round of meds and 12 days into January, I ventured forth for my belated, pivoted winter away from the cold. Lee’s, Salmon Arm and finally to destination Lake Cowichan. Lovely, quiet, wood smoke scented, foggy, lovely Lake Cowichan. So much green. So much fog. A week of sun and then the expected rain..but gentle, warm, lovely rain. I painted, walked and continued to rest.
