| Light pole |
It's been bone chilling here, yesterday it was
-34c in the wind. But it was a really beautiful out, so out we went for a nice walk in the forest (a bit more sheltered there from the wind). My friend Renee and her side kick Trevor came along and we had a great time (we walk almost every day together).
I took some pictures from our winter adventure, but before I show you I wanted to show you these first. The above painting is something I'm working on, its a project I'm really enjoying doing and its for one of my dear friends son. C loves light poles and the older they are the better (well to him if they are from the 50's or the 60's that's agent and perfect old age). C has autism and he is one super kid (sorry young man), and he has a fantastic eye for details, and he loves photography and one of his favourite subjects are light poles. After hearing C telling me about them and seeing how passionate he is about the subject (showing his pictures with great pride), he has opened my eyes even more for the details that we usually don't notice or take for granted... Sure the parking lot will be lit, right... But do we see by what? Well I do now, and I have been having fun trying to find the older once here in town and work on this project for him.
And here is my finished painting of
"Peace" that I showed you earlier before Christmas, so now its up and on display at the Shenkmans Centre in Ottawa. And now I'm working on two pieces for a different upcoming art show, and this one is juried, so hopefully I get one or two in for the show. I'm a bit behind my painting these days, as I have this on going condition with my eyes. I have been having problems for about two years now and now it got really bad and after all this time I finally found a very good doctor. So now lots of meds, relax my eyes and trying to get my sight back to close to what it used to be (its been so bad that I was not able to drive, got constant head aches and reading was totally out... so was drawing or painting. Both cornias are damaged *sigh, grrrrrr*). Everything has been done with a lot of breaks in between the paint strokes.
But it is getting better!!! Any how, here is the pictures from our walk yesterday at - 34c, both dogs and us were bundled up really well. Both Trevor and Charlie sporting their Chilly Dog coats. Everything is coated in heavy snow and its super peaceful in the forest. And now we are awaiting the next storm, kids are home on a snow day.
Here is Renee (and above me in my gear), covered in ice... Even our eye lashes and hair was covered in ice... My scarf was so stiff when I took it off, it stood up on its own until it thawed. Its all about layers!!!!
Great day!
