Glorious Poppy, acrylic, 8x10
I went early this morning to the Michigan Street Community Garden to paint. This poppy was just opening when I started my painting and by the time I finished later in the morning the petals were falling off. Those pods will have their turn tomorrow to be glorious. |

Delphinium, acrylic 16x20
I did this painting tonight in the community garden. It isn't what i consider finished and I might bring it with me tomorrow morning when I go to the garden. It was getting too dark.
I confess that I was going to slack off and not do a painting today but I received an email from friend and fellow artist Wendy Truswell urging me to do my daily commitment. So out I went. Thanks Wendy for the encouragement.

Here is the painting I did where I did it.
Below is a closer view of my painting. I smudged the upper left corner so I'll have to work a little more on it.
Hopefully I'll pay another visit to Bonny's garden later in the summer.

The Nest on My Balcony

Today when I went out on my balcony to photograph my painting a seagull was making a big noise. Turns out there is a nest just over the ledge of my balcony. I took a picture of the nest and parent.
I don't and won't feed these guys. Though I wish them no harm. Hope they grow up fast and fly away. The past couple of years they've been nesting on the roof over my balcony.
Corn Flower Dance, acrylic on canvas, 20x24in
I painted this today at a paint out with the Alfrescoes at the Saanich Historical Park. I was inspired by these flowers since last week. I don't know why but I resisted painting them and walked around and around for the first hour. I always have trouble deciding what to paint. Especially when there is so much to choose from.
I like the way they turned out. The other artists gave it the thumbs up. Which is a plus as they are looking through more trained eyes.

Me on the Causeway
As many of you already know, I take my art to the causeway in front of the Empress Hotel to sell it. Well here's my set up. My art is displayed on four 2x4 gridwalls. I'm considering switching to 4x6ft gridwalls. They are made of steel and quite heavy so if I go with the 6ft I'll cut windows in them to shed some of the weight. Currently I don't have storage on the causeway and pack everything on that dolly and wheel it a few blocks every day and back. Suggestions on my presentation welcome.
