Painted

 Painted this little toy camera/viewer today. I feel pretty good about it, although it seemed like I was never using the correct brush. I switched brushes three or four times and nothing was coming easy. It feels right from a distance but up close I was a bit less certain. 

Coffee with Kevin this evening. Until the donut shop reopens, our default has become the French Press. He'll be opening his cottage this weekend and it collecting banana boat ingredients for the occasion. Envious. 

Leah McInnis at Fifth Parallel

Nice chat with Leah about her exhibition on campus today. It is part of her Phd comps. The boosted whites on the projection which is against a black wall gave it a very textured expressionistic feeling which I quite liked.

Retirement party

 I took selfies with as many guests as I could at my retirement party today.My blog won't let me put them all in, so here is part one: 

Mother's Day

Breakfast for Margaret this morning. Brunch with mom later. With mom, each of us was given our own small pot of coffee. It was only after careful scrutiny that we determined that mine was tea. We played some cards afterwards and had a nice morning. 
 

Basement organizing

 

I moved a number of things around and cleared out some junk so as to create open space for a table (which I'd recently patched the stropped holes on and bought new screws so it would assemble better) and to basically work more easily. A work in progress.
