urban art show
how deeply the urban landscape inspires me
i dream most nights of rambling through enormous, yet near empty, metropolises
heARTbeatgal will soon pay hommage to her urban experience
spending the day with her art in the park (#24) at the Urban Art Show
amongst a community of other great local urban artists
fiddling with finishing touches is stirring the energy in me
j’adore the poster design
at least one person I know had better come
otherwise, how will I sneak away to the bathroom?
please
tell your friends (all of whom will likely be at cottages)
fingers crossed for a pleasant day
my best wishes to the organizers

les demoiselles
turbulent dreams about the women of my life
awoken, then, at the witching hour
up since
les demoiselles took shape around five thirty
les demoiselles – collage 14″ x 11″
three dark ladies rising with the sun
in the rain
tired and it is nine thirty a.m.

pieces of me
i have been working on this piece
pieces of me
for many months it has taken over my dining room
it is a beast
much work to be done yet, there is -Yoda
pieces are about to be rounded up on an adventure out west with the kids
some fraction of me is a Calgary mountain girl
and I am taking my children to share in these pieces of “western” me
got on my Montana cowgirl boots
Stampede here we come!
Yee haw!

branching out
wandering through the woods
at night listening to the rain
my direction for my Nuit Blanche Ottawa 2012 walking sticks was revealed
two sturdy branches, used to get me out of the woods, complete the collection
as NBO12 announces its artists i am setting to work on the sticks
along with “walk with me” heARTbeatgal is collaborating with artist Rob Brazeau, and others, for his twenties prohibition era Nuit Blanche photo project at Social
my excitement for the night is starting to grow
…how many days left?

conquered
we did it
it rained, but we shone
the sun did poke out once or twice
PERFECTLY alone in the woods
at night we could hear the wolves howl
amazing
i also crossed paths with two lovely walking sticks to add to the collection
without whom i wouldn’t have made it out of the woods
we will go back just as soon as i can move my shoulders again
thank you to all our well wishers
