2016 | Day 18

Day Eighteen

Today Peggy and I went over to Kate's house to take her some postcards for A Group of Girls 2 (artist reception on Friday) and see her art and studio and to meet Pearl...and then to have tea and a lovely long chat about just everything.  We also got to say hi-and-bye to Gordy on his way in-and-out.  It was a wonderful afternoon. 



Tonight I wanted to work on something other that the Biteyou collage/painting.  Grammy needs a lot of repair work done to patch up hairline cracks and even out areas.  I can't believe I haven't worked on her since November 2013...wow.  


I was mildly concerned that Grammy was not going to be Grammy after I started the repairs...and indeed she is morphing into a whole new character...her arms are no longer grammy-ish arms with a grammy-ish dress.  It is looking more like a male creature with thicher arms and a long sleeved coat with cuffs to me now.  I have a lot more repairs to do and I have a feeling there will be many changes as things progress.

Day 267 - 365/2014

Day Two Hundred Sixty-Seven

I spent an absolutely lovely day with Peggy Kerwan.  I am going to have to break our adventures into two parts because there are just too many photos and it becomes a bit overwhelming to take it all in.

We started our day with a visit to Gilda's Club in Royal Oak to see the murals that Peggy worked on as Kate Paul's assistant painter.  The murals are just magical and transport the viewer into other realms of fantasy and make believe.

I was so lucky to get a (somewhat) guided tour through the various lands...all I can really do is show you a lot of photos I took.  If you are ever in the area, you really must visit and see for yourself!  It is a constant source of amazement for me how your brain knows that the walls and paintings are flat, but your eyes and heart take you right into the fantastical landscapes and you wander over hills, behind trees, around bends (chasing kangaroos)...you just really need to see for yourself.
