Do you want to walk to the “northern temperate ‘D’ beach” of Quebec? April 23rd 2017

There is a trailhead that is hard to find… it looks like an escarpment and an opening of the trees…

Rainbow M-m’s McFlurrry Mandalas

 

Rainbow Sunday Mandala

 

 

Ronnie’s Cleopatra-Aurora-Wild Woman Breastplate Necklaces. April 29th 2017

Can you believe this kid? He made me the rainbow one – himself – from age 5-10, and the one thats more clear and pink, a year before the Miss Universe pageant. Spectacular! (Apparently Ronnie turned all my candies into gems… mdr!!!)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Into the Vases. April 29th 2017

“Pottery Show” : Into the vases like a cat exploring… which as you can see, they do!

 

 

 

My Swiss Guard Cross. May 6th 2017

The name Swiss Guards refers to Vatican Knights, or maybe you could call them the Pope’s ‘Secret Service’. It also has a poetic meaning to me and many of my friends and family; you have a mission to protect and guard, in your heart.

The center of the cross has an insignia on a circle; it represents perhaps (my) Diocese and preservation mission; also, a seabird diving – right in.

This cross is possibly very old

 
 

“Vous-soir-au-pallette”- from last night. May 7th 2017

I made banana bread, which I haven’t made in eons… but I used special techniques with the batter, and added a streusel-crumb on top, that has walnuts in it.

 

Half-done… pouffy… didn’t fall… added the ‘extra-goodness’

 

 

From the vault. May 7th 2017

Baby Ladder-Backed Woodpecker.

 

I saw an adult one of these years ago in the West Island. It was in a wooded area. I did not have my camera that day. But I did see it, and it is a very big bird, and with the striping and vivid red “cap”, it was very interesting to see. And I was pretty close to it as well.

What caught my eye to take a look at this bird today was that it looked white from a distance. I could not understand what kind of bird I would be looking at; that could be white.

The photographs are, well, a little intimidating! The thing looks odd! And I thought; what is this? It seems to have coloring like a common sparrow, a forked tail like a swallow, the red cap, and even looked like it could be a bird of prey.

Unfortunately, the photos at the end of the sequence are all blurry; my neighbor was backing out the car again, and my camera caught the car instead of the bird, which had turned. Too bad!

 

 

Cute Jaq

 

 

Cutie Card Drawing. Done May 11th, Online today- May 12th 2017.

New Drawing!
Now my three decks of custom cards have the extra art part, done!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

All 3 decks have the tulip design (on the back of the cards)
Its my original photograph; from the gardens at Stewart Hall; that’s why I call them “custom” cards.
(They are customized with my original photo art.)
Check out the photo in big at the bottom of this page!!!!

 

More pics of Bambi…. wait, I mean… of Jacqueline. (Jaq) May 13th 2017.

Sleeping; looking; thinking…

Disgruntled Jerry. May 16th 2017

Good cat, goood cat.

 

Smart boy, Jerry!

 

 

King of the (brown) Widower banana spiders. May 16th 2017

He is the biggest one in the world! The pictures are funny; I caught the best I could.

The spider was on the ceiling; and it was night; and there are shadows that make it look like he has extra legs.

Little bugger made some nice “mandalas”… or maybe you could call them “auras”!

 

(Rained-out) Dainty Pink Tulips
This photo is from about a year ago

 

Pictures from the vault, of my Fortress. May 25th 2017

The width of the “driveway” of the entrance portico leads me to believe it was for a horse-drawn carriage

Orange-peach dainty tulips

Bluebells

Last year…

 

more…

Doré, my tiger, is in there too, in the tulips…

 

More flower pictures from at Stewart Hall, Pointe-Claire, and from Kirkland; from last year. May 23rd 2017

The dainty pink tulips are waterlogged (in the garden) from a rainfall. Its good for the plants. They’ll get dry again! (and need water again too!)

…the beautiful blue irises were on private property.

 

 

I like the effect of the deep colors in this photograph. Very much my style and my preference.

 

 

My 5 Decks of Custom Playing Cards featuring my photography; and the ten drawings that adorn them. Italy & China Style! May 25th 2017

I finally got all my drawings done…

(I have 5 decks of cards now! There are 2 new decks, each with a different photo!)

The decks came with (from the printer’s) special yellow cards with registration.. & a blank. (thus two drawings per deck; on 2 of the 3 spare cards. The second yellow one just stays) June 9th 2017

 

This photo is of just ONE of the deck of cards; its cut to show all the artistic elements, and the acetate case.

 

 

My cousine Alyson Surveyer’s wedding ceremony at St-Joachim church, in Pointe-Claire. June 9th 2017
In these photographs you can see the beauty of the interior of St-Joachim; I already published a feature about the exterior this spring. I took photos of the ceremony; look for people in the bottom of the pictures. My focus in this photoset is the ‘ceremony’ of marriage.

 

 

I bought this cute little toy at the drugstore. Its an everyting drugstore! June 9th 2017
I proceeded to make art with the thing… supah-secret project!

Its a Unicorn pony with blue ‘curt’ hair
(& its on a key ring)

 

“Jackson Pollock Tennis” Brownies. June 9th 2017
I made brownies from a mix and went all kinds of creative! Added details and accoutrements…

You can see in the photo: just one of the hidden “tennis balls” in the brownies… (Top right corner of the glass pan) They are just cherry candies lol!

 

Uh-oh…. Eclectic Kitchen. June 9th 2017
I made crepes… they are stacked on a plate. I caught the light from a rainy day outside the window, and the stuff hanging around a messy and busy kitchen.

Spirit – I’ve got spirit…

 

Pictures, at night, in my home; my boots, and I hanged the wall cross. June 9th 2017
I hung my special cross that has red enameling, and a diving bird, in metal… I took other pics too, while I was at it. My Great White North trekking boots…

The sole is blueish, and the button is a jewel. There’s wool inside, and the outside is some kind of silvery-white sparkly upper… There is also a sectional piece of suede at the heel.
