Texture show at Fifth Parallel


Saw some interesting pieces a the student gallery today. I'm not certain if the theme of "texture" really speaks to me. I can tell that the work all have texture, that that is rather a simplistic theme.

Drawn carpet


 I picked up a canvas drop cloth for William and he's got it painted and is drawing a carpet on it as part of his exhibition. Garage is nice and warm after working in there a while.

Workshop for LOOK

Trevor contacted me yesterday to say that the LOOK workshop participants were interested in using some animation and asked if I could come in and talk. I spend an hour or two with them this morning, which is never really enough. There was a question about Gumby so is created a short demo using one and posted it for them to illustrate the things I was talking about. I'll see them again in a few weeks.

Cumberland gallery at the legislature


 Margaret attended a gallery event exhibiting Deb Potter's work at the Cumberland in the legislature building for Women's Day. We saw this work in Saskatoon a year or two back, but it looks amazing in this space.

More snow


 It's been a strange winter. So warm most of the time, but then spring doesn't quite come. We have warm weather but then winter days as harsh as the worst of January. I really want to be able to wash my car again.

Groceries

 Both Margaret and I were busy all day so 10% off groceries had to wait until this evening. I was rather tired and cold and not hungry, which led me to being rather non-committal about food in general. I was curious about how to pronounce "Magic O'Mallows". I guess it isn't hard, unless there is a pun hidden in there somewhere that I cannot find. 

We ended up buying a small bad of oranges that cost 18 dollars and delivered them to Gertrud, so I don't even know if they were any good.

Frost shadow


William noticed that the Sun, shining on the frosty window, left a frozen shadow the birdhouse hanging just beyond.
