SOLD ♥ 

(I did not have a final photo, so had to

borrow this from my Facebook file.)

Sold this beauty today and felt delighted that the person
who bought it has loved it for a whole year and decided
to get it now!  Great feeling as an artist.

I have not been on the blog this week because I am
working really hard on a few commissions.  Not
kidding.  But it has been an art filled week. I
have been cheering myself on with endless
rules like,"this is positive Thursday."  And
today was "fabulous Friday."  I spent a lot of it
in the car running errands and not as much
time in the studio where I belong.

But still the day was filled with wonder.  A perfect
yellow bird flitted into my garden to land on a
tall blade of grass. On my travels I saw walls of
wild flowers by the road in every colour. The rain
came down in torrents, and the stalled traffic
gave me lots of time to study the roadside trees
-- so deliciously full and green (and wet).

Produce Canadian Flag

I saw this hilarious produce flag in Loblaws,
our local store.  People didn't even notice
the shape (tired at the end of a working week),
and had taken some of the produce.  But still
the theme is there.  This is our national flag
in tomatoes, garlic and red pepper. Art is
everywhere.

Have a Happy Canada Day weekend.
