King Ludwig in the parade

 

William as King Ludwig XI of Aviatrica as part of New Dance Horizons section of the parade for the Cathedral Village Festival. 

Preparing to be king

 William has been working for days on his King Ludwig III costume for the parade. While the mask and crown are just prototypes, the whole thing is looking good. 

Lunch with mom

 Mom was full of energy today. Lori took her to Costco first thing in the morning, but it was still a zoo. I came over at noon and took mom book shopping and toy shopping and for lunch. 

New bird mask design

Helping William with some materials today. I made a bid mask out of issue paper based paper mache, no wire, just a wax paper lined cone that I removed making it light and somewhat translucent. 
 

CBC interview

 Did a prerecorded interview with Laura Sciarpelletti talking about my paintings. It will air on Saturday morning.

Post exhibition painting

I won't add this to the exhibition. No real point. It would require too much work and no one would notice. This is a camera that came from someone who was at the reception last week. 
 

Painting purchase

 I bought this little painting of buildings by Eileen Lampard at the AGR show and sale a couple weeks back and got to finally bring it home today. 

William head shot

William needed a head shot photo for something and couldn't locate a recent picture so we did a quick session in the bathroom (yes, that is the shower curtain behind him. Sue me). Most were thoughtful but we were goofing around and I got an authentic smile out of him.
