#day15 Jessica is a habitué of craft shows and Etsy, and I love her stuff. These two prints spoke to me so we have them framed and hung on the wall to remind us that we all have a voice.Wolf — Howl (12/14)

Canada’s two coasts are incredibly similar yet so different at the same time. I picked up this small landscape in Ganges on Saltspring Island and it hangs beside its east coast cousin to remind us of the breadth of this wonderful country.Landscape

Since the landscape was one of the highlights of the trip we decided art (and earrings) was the best way to keep the memories fresh.Seascape

#watercolor #painting #personalgift#day11 Since we are on to photography, these two hand-printed photographs were shot my long-time friend Akemi Matsubuchi in 1997 for the book I’ll Never Marry a Farmer. They capture the spirit of our 100-year-old piano and hold tremendous sentimental value for all sorts of reasons. They languished in a folder for a decade or so until I finally framed and hung them.Piano

#photography #handprinting #piano #bookpublishing #albertabooks#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 Protector

#photography #giclee #nature #buffalo #bison#day9 I met Sam working at Hole’s back when she was just an art student. She has gone on to create a beautiful canon of work and build a thriving art business. 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. The second is from her latest series and I acquired it just a few days ago. Such different pieces, but we love them all the more for it.Figure—oil painting
