Hello there! I hope your summer has been sunny and relaxing so far.
I’ve assigned myself some rest and rejuvenation time this season, with an eye to the writing projects I have on deck for the fall and winter. So for now, I’m reading and re-reading some Canadian historical fiction (more on that soon) and generally allowing a pace of life that gives me plenty of time to take in the sky, the backyard view, and a few local events.
Ah, summer!
Meanwhile, at the owaa gallery where I display some of my artwork, is an exhibition that I’m particularly excited about. It’s called “Interpretations,” where members were invited to interpret a photograph of Blakeney Rapids by owaa President John Edkins. You can see that photo on the main page of John’s website.
The resulting interpretations (for those members who took up the challenge) are fabulous in all their variations. I’d like to invite you to have a look, either in person at the CardelRec Recreation Complex in Stittsville, or virtually via the owaa website. Please consider this an opportunity to relax for a few moments and see what one piece of art can spark in other people. Who knows – maybe this will trigger some latent creativity in you!
My take on John’s photo can be seen at the gallery, or here.
I’ll be back here next month. Hope you will too!
