ABORIGINAL MAN'S COAT


I go through so many images of First Nation from the beginning of
saving the wonderful clothing of all of the tribes that I get lost
exactly where this is from but the next paintings will have more information

Fell in love with the colours the wonderful embroidery with all of the tribes and 
am very happy to have discovered this.

ABORIGINAL WORK




TALK ABOUT FALLING IN LOVE WITH ALL THINGS ABORIGINAL!
I SEE SOMETHING THAT I LOVE THEN ADD AND ADD.

THERE IS SO MUCH ABOUT FIRST NATIONS, CANADA AND THE US
THE HISTORY, WHICH WOULD MAKE ANYONE CRY BECAUSE OF THE INJUSTICE.

THE BEAUTY IS JUST SO ORIGINAL

dennis daniel michael duffy


Have never liked this time of year.  July 1 about 1 hour past midnight my 16 year old son died on a rural road with 3 of his friends.  It is still questionable why he died, a suicide by the driver
Or a horrible mistake.  
I have read all of the entries I have made on my blog and in each one I have stated that I will 
Feel like this forever but after reading them all they are had their point of view and all of them
Were temporary and that no one entry was more important than the other BUT this year it is different.
I have a wonderful relationship with my son Conor and his beautiful family, Lizel, his partner.  The two of them have been in a magical love for years. I will always wish them love.


Their three kiddies Laim, Cohen and Stella. Lizel put this feeling of motherhood so well when she said that she wanted them to stay young longer
Lizel and Cohen


Liam
This angel is Stella
what a marvelous picture, Conor and Lizel
All the grief was taken away when the babies were born.  
So this morning I went through what I kept of Dennis and am putting it in a special place.
George my partner has been great understanding.
I know that live goes on but I will always have my children in my heart.

Bill


Wilfred Martin

I knew him as Bill and he literally ran the conversation.  Everyone would as 'where is Bill?" and when he showed up things began to happen and he loved it.  He was a dear soul to me and I will miss him endlessly

DECORATING A VASE





Diane a friend of mine asked if I would decorate a vase
 that she has made. An amazing piece,
So over the next while was able to draw on her vase 
with instructions of using a Chintz floral motif.
and great colors.  
Let me know what you think........

A TRIBUTE TO MR.G


This wonderful man was such a mentor to me...
when I was in art college 
I would go and see him asking a hundred questions about paint,techniques
and he would after a while kick me out. 
 I did this almost everyday
and he was good for oh 1/2 hour 
hen enough was enough.  I always
expected to see in the store and for the last while
 he was at home.
His daughter Jackie a most handsome woman 
with patience and a keen
sense for what she wanted to contribute to the store.  
You see this store is a landmark. 
 Anyone who was remotely serious 
about art came here. 
 The atmosphere was wonderful and all of the staff 
artists.
I found out today that Mr G. 
has passed away February 14 and I just
could not believe that he was 
in the other room.  This man was a respected
institution.  
I know that Jackie will not only carry on but will put
her mark on the store.  God Bless the Gwartzman family,
 my heart goes 
out to you.
