Every now and then you find a real treasure on the internet! I love this video by filmmaker Andrea Dorfman, and poet/singer/songwriter, Tanya Davis. I personally love being alone but occasionally feel lonely. It’s not often we are really alone but I think we have all felt the pangs of loneliness at some point in [...]

7 year old Artist Kieron Williamson
August 9th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
These videos are sooooo cute! Not only is this little boy an incredible artist, but his voice is adorable! So Coronation Street. Do they have kids on that show? They must. I get so jazzed when I see real god-given talent, and here it is in spades! I can’t wait to see what he does [...]
Typewriter Man
July 12th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
Remember when school essays had to be handed in typed, double-spaced and perfect? I’m talking before computers. I’m talking about using a real typewriter. Well, I do. I hired someone to do a term paper for me once. Just the typing…not the writing. I didn’t read it before handing it over to the prof. When [...]

This weekend I was out of town with one of my kids. While I love nothing more than hanging out with any of them, an added bonus was that it got me away from the huge painting I’ve been working on for the past several weeks and allowed me to come back home with fresh [...]

I Couldn’t Resist ‘Pink’ and Cosmo!
June 16th, 2010 · 7 Comments · Art/Talent, Celebrity, Tracy's Posts
There I was this morning standing in the grocery line up buying snacks I could do without, when this months Cosmo cover caught my eye. I was instantly distracted like a child by something shiny. My inner voice said “oooooo Pink.“ I LOVE Alecia Beth Moore! She exudes self confidence. After watching her perform ‘Glitter in [...]

Happy Birthday James! I can’t believe how time flies. You were my very first impression of what it would be like to have a child. Living with you and your Mom was a time in my life I will always look back on and smile. You’re an incredible soul and I love you with all [...]

Art Chatter

Weeeelllll, it’s the Tuesday after a very busy long weekend here in Canada. Weatherman forecasted sunshine but instead we got a lot of endless blech. I’m not complaining, mind you. I would’ve like a bit more sun but I’ll take 10 minutes here and there as long as it doesn’t rain.

Mixed Emotions, Mixed Reactions, Mixed Media
May 6th, 2010 · 6 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
I’m trying something a little different right now, something I haven’t really tackled before. About a year or two ago I attended a private art show at my friend Marie’s house and I fell for a little mixed media piece. All I remember about it was that it featured a funky urban skyline and was [...]

Getting There…
April 29th, 2010 · 9 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
Last week so many of you expressed interest in my trials and tribulations surrounding the production of a particular painting commissioned by my husband. Let me put it in print for everyone to see: I WILL NEVER ATTEMPT TO PAINT ANYTHING ON COMMAND AGAIN! We put the unfinished, unsatisfactory piece against the wall in the [...]

My Abstraction Distraction
April 19th, 2010 · 5 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
I get a lot of information from other artists when I watch them work or when I get to see a painting in progress. I’ve been working on an abstract over the weekend and I’ll admit, it’s something very new to me. I’ve said before how I love painting in oils because of their juiciness [...]

Tulip Tip Toeing
April 15th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts, Tripping
( editor’s note: in a previous post I created an anagram that caused some misunderstanding. I was NOT referring to my mother as an Ice Queen! I was calling myself one simply because they were the only letters I could use. It was about me! It was a game, people! I apologize for the hurt [...]

How To Do Anything Better
April 12th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts
I’m an oil painter. Oil is rich and thick and messy. It takes forever to dry between layers. Making mud, mixing colours until it turns into a uniform blah, is all too easy. The brushes are a pain to clean. BUT I LOVE IT!
Over the weekend I broke down and made a small investment in [...]

Svaha Spirit Series ~ Ukrainian Easter Egg Demo
April 4th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts, Svaha Spirit Series~Sunday
Happy Easter everybody!
We haven’t had a good old fashioned Easter egg hunt in our house for a few years, but that doesn’t mean I’ve lost interest in the art of egg decorating. I’ve seen many of these Ukrainian eggs in the past and have always marveled at how precise and elegant the decoration looked. Now, [...]

History of Lilith ~ First Wife of Adam?
March 29th, 2010 · 2 Comments · Art/Talent, Jacquie's Posts, Tossed Salad
Sarah McLachlan’s Lilith Fair is coming back to Vancouver this summer! I went years ago with my daughter Emilie when she was 11 and we had a fantastic time together…at least that’s my memory. I also remember being terribly disturbed by the anti-abortion protesters who lined the walk from the parking area to the stadium. [...]
