The Wisconsin Concrete Park

We stopped at this park created by Fred Smith. He began making these sculptures when he was 64 and continued until he was 78 and had to stop because of a stroke. I admire his enthusiasm.

Bill Reid Gallery

Button blanket.
I had to check out the Bill Reid Gallery while I was in Vancouver. He is so amazing. The Northwest Coast Indians had such a terrific artistic culture and still do. This is a painted canvas vest and a purse.

Red Sunflowers

I got to go to the Vancouver flower auction as part of the partner's tour of the government conference. Thousands and thousands of amazing blooms and an incredibly efficient manner of selling them. They processed over 15,000 units that morning.

Windermere Lake--evening

This is one of the paintings I got done just before my show at Centre 64 and it is on its way to a new home.

I am off to Vancouver!

Nurses of Pynelogs

Here it is.

Still Proceeding

I added more glazes. Now the stamps become a subtle accent, hopefully not too much so. I toned down the yellow of the ground and windows because it was competing with the rest of the work. Tomorrow...the big finale.

Proceeding

I fill in areas with color and then proceed to lay glazes over them. You can see this in the right side of the middle nurses cape. This painting is already taking off in directions I didn't anticipate. Oh well, no guts...no glory.
