A Week that Rocked!

Having spent the week painting with

the amazing Wayne Boucher

and a talented bunch of artists

I am amazed my stones got done!

A white beauty stained and scarred.

I certainly got stained hands and clothes

at painting this week

and

at my age am certainly scarred!

All week long as we painted we were

constantly told

to turn our paintings to get fresh perspectives.

So why not turn a photo upside down.

I think this is my favourite this week.

At one point our wise master interrupted me

and suggested I insert a tiny amount of pink into a painting.

I think my exclamation of surprise

got the message through that pink was not my colour.

So in honour of Wayne

here is some pink.

This black beauty could really be a talisman

that I might carry with me wherever I go.

Which makes me think

as I handle these stones individually

I am getting very attached to them.

I am pondering whether to scatter my stones on the floor

when Judy and I hang our show at

The Mary E. Black gallery next year.

However, I might not be able to leave quite a few of them there!

They are becoming my heart.

The embroidery behind Stone Pathways this week

was stitched under the strict supervision

of the nuns at the convent in Belgium

when I was about nine years old.

Oh, look.....more pink!
