My World Is Growing

 

The world is such a beautiful place and I get to show it to two little people I created.

My world is growing.

Ukrainian Art and Friday’s Feet

Monday I helped my mother put up the Schevchenko exhibit at the Manitoba Legislature.

Dream Painting in Progress

I had a dream a year or two ago that I was mixing thick purple paints. I was painting a large canvas, pouring and weaving the different shades of purple. The painting had three buffalo skulls on it, white like chalk.

When I woke up I quickly did the picture in photoshop so I wouldn’t forget. Now I’ve been working on a smaller version and the big one at the same time. The big painting is 4 feet by 4 feet. I wanted to make it even bigger but currently this is the largest canvas I have. 

Springtime in Winnipeg

 

Had a play date with my little sister Alexina last Sunday. A play date is us wanting to hangout, it doesn't actually have anything to do with entertaining her children. We took a walk near her house, the weather was miserable and we actually came across snow. It feels like spring is never going to actually get here.    

May Day Feet

Yesterday I attended the May Day rally with my family. The event went well but my poor sister’s feet were so blistered afterward. I thought the bruises were very becoming next to her pink nail polish.

Playing with eggs

The first stages of putting together the Shevchenko art show. Came across some gorgeous Ukrainian eggs.

Victor the Sea Monster

“Victor the Sea Monster” is a drawing done by Tick-A-Lee-Kick. She was daydreaming about a sea monster who swallows house boats. Then his eyes change into big yellow windows.

In the daydream everything was made out of pieces of felt and fabric. But, she made her drawing with pencil crayons and markers.

Tick-A-Lee-Kick wasn’t too happy with it but I told her it was good for someone working with art supplies that are twice her size.
