Art on the Garden

Well,I am heading back to Vancouver Island to visit family and friends and take part in a fantastic art show.

Leslie and Mike open their home and property for artists to show off their art.
At the same time they donate the entry fee to Nanoose Bay Food Bank. Their property is absolutely beautiful with Artist set up around the pond,live music and food.

Art in the Garden is July 21 & 22 at 2525 Northwest Bay Road. I will be there teaching a mixed media class where you will get to take home your own creation. So be sure to check it out at www.nanoosebayartinthegarden.com

Stopping to smell the flowers.....

Well, I have been putting off moving my website from iWeb and it finally happened my site came down. So it was wonderful while it lasted but I am looking forward to a new look which should happen soon!
As I was thinking about the direction I wanted to take with my site and it's purpose I couldn't help notice this very busy bee in one of my favorite flowers the Peony...Love Love Love them, great childhood memories of staying with my great aunt on her farm and all her gardens being lush with these flowers and of course she spoiled me rotten so it was a wonderful time always.
So as I work on my site,paint and prepare for a class I will be teaching on Vancouver Island in a few weeks I have to remind myself to step back every so often and take notice of all the goodness around me...........and it is truly amazing all that you get to enjoy when you take a moment or two.
