Last Week

Paintings by Rhea Dallaire

Today I spent a lovely day with friends, great conversation and tea with Tina (always) and then helping my good friend Rhea wire canvases...I keep wanting to share the lessons I've learned on wiring work and actually meant to photograph the process but got chatting and...well, it never happened.  So, tomorrow.  I promise.

Last week I had such a wonderful time with my family in Manitoba, ate way too much delicious food, visited far too late into the night, and though I miss them all terribly, it really is good to be home.  We encountered the gamut of seasons on our drive through the prairies...rain in Manitoba, blizzard conditions in Saskatchewan, and then, when we thought something must be wrong with our heater, summer conditions when we returned to Alberta.  Spring in the Canadian prairies.

Now, it's back to my own easel...that makes me so happy.
