Local Artists

I do love the summer, the sun, the outdoors, and the art. I was out walking this afternoon and came upon some children' chalk drawing that I found just adorable. I had to share them.

I call this one -
"Sailing the Stormy Seas"

Brian created this drawing.

I call this creation -
"Love and Flowers"

This one was a really big drawing.

I call this drawing-
"Sea Monster and the Stair Case"

Title -
"Two birds at Sea"

George created this masterpiece, so I'm going to call it - "George"

I love Architecture

If someone would have told me a couple of years ago that I would love archtecture I would have laughed at them. I didn't really gain an appreciate for structure until I started to draw and also teach people how to render buildings. I then become hooked. I love looking at all the angles, decor, and new forms that are created during different time periods. The images are of many different styles. I also love to abstract the buildings in photographs to create something new and different.

Most of these building don't have a name, but this particular image is of Fan Tan Alley. It is located in China Town, and is noted the thinest alley in town.

I love this image of concrete and sky, connecting as one. An old abandoned building on Pandora Street. A part of the city with a lot of heritage buildings.

From old to new, these two last images are of the Atrium Building located on Yates Street. I love the curves of movement built within this structure. It was just opened about one year ago. It has been developed as a green building in Victoria.

Love is in the air.......

In the summer it is mating season for the local peacocks. There are so many of these beautiful birds wandering around, calling with their high picked screams, and shaking their tails to attract the perfect female for the next generation. The dance is very sweet, as each male moves his booty quickly to send the sexiest message. This is only one of the many that I saw tonight on my walk. I even found a peacock egg this morning before my run. I expect we are going to have a record number of these birds walking around Beacon Hill Park in the very near future.
