#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?Owl triplets

\"#day27<\/a>
#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?Easter 1985

#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.Black Satin

#day25 In 1997 we decided to get our family portrait done because…well, that’s just what you do. After a long session, Akemi snapped this last shot after we had relaxed and were joking around. It’s the one we had blown up and framed and has hung on the wall ever since.Family laughing

#day24 This is the 2nd of Maria Pace-Wynters’ work that we have. I loved the colour and style when L first bought it, but when she painted the kitchen wall blue and hung the art, the whole experience was transformed. I doubt we will ever move it again.I am rooted but I flow

#day23 This is a print we picked up in Montreal in 2006 but it turns out it was made by a west coast artist based out of Gibsons. I love its sense of whimsy, especially after you read the title.People I went to school with (97\/100)
