Thank you to all that dropped by to view the not quite annual yART SALE (a yard sale of art) on Sunday, August 29th, 2021. It was lovely to have conversations out in our driveway, to talk about art, see old friends, and meet new ones.

Look out for this sale next fall, 2022. Be sure to add yourself to my Mailing List to receive notifications of events. 

I am grateful to all that purchased a piece of art. 

After some life changes (same as everyone else), I’m back in the studio working on a variety of pieces. Have gotten energized by the prospect of an April show with two of my favourite artists, Deb Katz and Mary Lottridge.

 Thank you to Roger Duval, the students, and the staff at Central Middle School in Victoria. My first experience with this artist-apprentice program was a blast. Lola and I were a great match; we learned much from each other. Lola, you are the bomb!

The starting point for our paintings were two photos of Vancouver alleys that I thought we could reclaim by painting a new landscape over them. I wanted to allow the city scenes to show through as shadows, as if the greenery had taken over. In one piece that happened. In the other, the ducks took over.

Central Middle School, Victoria, BC

6:30 - 8:00pm

At long last two of my passions have collided. Dr. Jane Wrinch has generously provided a showpiece remodelled office in which to display my art. I am thrilled with the result. Thank you to all those who have given positive feedback. Feel free to come in the office and have a peek when you are in Victoria. Regards, Eha

Every medium has a learning curve. Using just the Notes Program on my device, I started some little doodles. The first is an idea to re-create an old dining room light fixture into a flying saucer. Needs work. The Bobbleheads I designed to be made of mini cut-off Perrier bottles with ping pong ball heads. I had assigned myself doing something silly every day for one week. Wasn't hard. The Dots were a practice in using my stylus and the pad. 

The ceiling fan drawing made use of a ruler tool; that was cool. Then, my first simple drawing, of a tortuous willow branch. 

Some very small things are cropping up in my studio these days. I'm working on some miniature tableaux on the theme of love, to be displayed at Pender Island Public Library from January 5 - February 28, 2016. Also, included will be some "wall art." Details to follow.
