Last month I took part in a fantastic workshop with mixed media artist and friend Stacey Walyuchow. It was so fun to be able to take part in both the workshop and an artist's talk with Stacey and author Wendy McGrath that week. I'm not a collage/mixed media artist and oil pastels are quite foreign to me, plus I don't usually work in such muted colours, but this workshop was so much fun! It was also very nice to see several ladies in the community that I haven't seen in some time. I may go back into the piece once I think about it a bit, but, for now, I love the feeling of it.
"But you have to have something that you don't ask anybody else about. I have been receiving the kindest messages about my exhibit in Cranbrook. Several women have travelled specifically to view it and the introductory portrait workshop sold out very quickly. I am so grateful for this opportunity and am looking forward to visiting it in person in March. Thank you, Anne Anderson, for this lovely photo!
This project has been a bit neglected...though I am still trudging along. I finally ended up with the dreaded Covid so I was behind a week. It felt like a mild cold but I was so tired that I knew it was important to rest. Sometimes we are forced to slow down and it seems that I don't until I get ill. After not having any illnesses the past 5 years I was a little spoiled. But the rest was good and I'm re-evaluating a few things while I continue with 'Ahead of Her Time' and 'A Room of Her Own' - these projects make me very happy. :)
