#day31 I will finish off the 31 Days of Art with a piece of my own. in the early 2010s I delved into printmaking—I didn't stick with it but I did do a limited edition of prints of my son that I was really pleased with. This was in his days of Plur and Candy Kids and I really like the way it turned out.

#day30 This small wooden carving was picked up by my parents on a trip to Spain in 1962 (before I was born). It was always displayed in the living room as I grew up, sitting on a coffee table or a mantle, and naturally became a favourite plaything. A few years ago I asked my mom if I could have it and now it sits on our coffee table. It is the most tactile piece of art I have and just picking it up is always a sensuous experience.

#day28 I bought these three owls at a craft show. Talking with the artist (whose name I have completely lost), she said that they were something she did for fun and gave customers something affordable to buy. I really like the whimsy of their expressions, and owls have been a bit of a theme among our social group. This the only art that travelled to BC with us for our year of living aboard our boat. I have since gone on to try to copy her owlish expressions in stained glass to pretty good success. I just wish I could remember who she was...anybody?

#day27 If you've wondered about my previous use of the "iffy" art label, it's because I have always had a bee in my bonnet about deceptive art practices where artists sell "limited edition prints" of runs of 1000 or more that are little more than printed posters. It bugs me. And as a rule I refuse to support these artists or this practice. This is our one exception. L (and I) loves this print. We always have. When we first discovered it, all we could get out hands on was this litho (essentially a postcard) so that's what we have displayed. Oddly enough, when I was researching this, I found one of the original prints (numbered 6/50) for sale for only $1250 (see link below). Anyone want to loan me some money?

#day26 Somewhere around 2008 we went to an art show in St Albert of an architectural artist I admired. While looking at the art hung on the gallery walls I spied this drawing leaning against the wall through the open door of the office. I had no idea what I was looking at at first but I really liked it. Long story short, when we left that day it was with this still-intriguing pastel under our arms.

#day22 And now for something completely different. My mom has been a crafter and amateur artist from before we met. I remember digging through all her old sketchbooks as a child and being envious of them. My favourite was a pastel of a tipsy mouse and a cocktail glass. She made this quilt for her grandson around 1994 and, after many years of love, he agreed to give it up and now it hangs above our bed.

#day10 This is the first of few "iffy" pieces that I hesitated to include as originals. It's an original photograph that has been digitally printed using an archival-quality inkjet printer (giclée). But I figure if a silver gelatin print is good enough for the MOMA, this can be good enough for me. I bought it as a gift for L in 2012 because it reminded me of who she is inside even though we almost never see it.

The figure is an early piece she had for sale at one of her old, clear-out-the-art sales — it caught L's eye and we've owned it since the mid 2000s.

#day8 This is a watercolour originally presented to the late Lois Hole, 15th Lieutenant Governor of Alberta. I worked for her for many years and this is one of my mementos of that time. Coincidentally, it was painted by Rita Wildschut, whom I had met and worked with in the Brooks Community Theatre group in the 80s, so I felt it was a fitting homage.

#31daysofart I did an art inventory. It seems have managed to replace 99% of the art in our house with original works that we have collected over the years. And I decided I would share them, one a day, during the month of January. I will try an include links to the artists if I can. First up are my pride and joys. I bought them in 2001 from dear friend and they always have pride of place on my house—I can stare at them for hours and they speak to me differently every time...which is my definition of "art."
