This past week I ventured off to my old stomping grounds from when I was clothing buyer,"Montreal". I had great weather which made exploring so much more enjoyable. I spent a whole day in Old Montreal with it's stone buildings and cobble stone streets exploring art gallery after art gallery. It was so inspiring! I love the European feel of this French Canadian city it is full of amazing restaurants and culture. This amazing Catholic church drew me in with its welcoming red front doors(almost every house I have lived in I have painted the front door red....I heart a red door) and the craftsmanship of all the architectural detail is so magnificent.
With all the great shopping you might think you would find me at all the major retailers which I was....but I love street vendors and so I because this was my last day I took a photo of these wonderful flowers. I am a girl who loves a spring bouquet or a handful of hand picked wild flowers any day over a dozen roses. I also purchased this amazing piece of jewelry on the street by a local artist which I will have to post a pic of .I had a great chat with the vendor as he explained his technique for creating his one of a kind pendants and cuffs.
Had some fun with this piece which is not quit finished. However I started it many moons ago so to be almost done is better then not done."A Patchwork of Prairie Sunshine", seemed to be a great title for this piece. Also still working on my new site which is a bit more challenging as I am having to re size and dig up all my old photo's of my art but once it is done it will be that much easier.
