This was going to be a short article referencing Valentine's Day, as it is just around the corner. I then ended up getting sidetracked on a personal rant on how I don't appreciate commercial Valentine's Day very much - and then scrapped all of it. It did not seem right to vent my own feelings...

Creative opportunities sometimes present themselves when least expected. To be honest, during this pandemic, for the most part I have felt less than creative and passed on opportunities to present my work or participate in art sales because it added another thing on my to-do-list and I couldn't prepare for it properly.

The more I ponder over the photos I took yesterday morning, the more I come to like these close-ups of the ice. It is such a magical sight. Art created by nature. To be honest, I was not in a very mindful state taking these photos yesterday - I had about half an hour before... Continue Reading →
These are the gorgeous, bright and cold, clear blue sky winter days I love. This is Canadian winter at it's best. I went to explore a frozen Lake Ontario this morning, January 26, 2018.
