Thanks Giving au Canada

In Canada we have added on a day of Thanks to this weekend.

This small gesture of 'giving thanks' can get lost in all of our business/busy-ness.

At my new home on the shores of Georgian Bay I have placed this framed Photocard on my table with a candle and snuffer. Before every meal I am reminded to pause and say "Thank you".

The beads and Thank you are my addition to this frame, my Photocards are found at a Post in June 2013 under the title, 'Photocards'

They are $5.00 a card, I can be reached at:athomewsoul@gmail.com

St. Francis of Assisi

Today's great Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the Saint that unites, the Saint that is good to befriend, good to have an image of to remind us that to be taken over by God brings blessings not harm to the created world, to my brother and sister.

St Francis pray for us. Thank you for Pope Francis. 

The end of August

I have painted one Madonna and Child not in a seated position. 

The prototype is from a small book of Coptic icons, I added the cured lines as there is a saying,

                                       "God writes straight with crooked lines".

The end of August in Canada it is a time of endings and beginnings, seasonal, school is restarting, families if they are moving have probably done so by now. And me too, I have moved. Where I have ended up I would never have seen, I was not looking at this part of Ontario but back in early June an interesting apartment rental ad brought me here to look. Although that ad did not work out, I came to Collingwood, on the shores of Georgian Bay, a beautiful place to be. 

 "The future comes out of what is done in the present" I have just lived the truth of this, several trips and viewings of rentals prepared me for the moment when the ad appeared for my current rental  and I knew from afar that this is where I wanted to be.

This painting was an experiment
as I wanted to use this beautiful
yellow paper as my ground.
I attached it to wood and
painted on it. Some of
the fibres started to
break up with the wet paint,
 but it dried beautifully

Impasto Modeling Wax

Second last day and we are introduced to Impasto Modeling wax. This is the medium for sculpture. Working with plaster cloth then covering that form with this medium, then coloring, adding feathers, beads,papers, fabric, oh my gosh......... It is softer than encaustic medium and carves easily. I tried an image transfer onto surface but it did not work for me. But I did have success in building a Shrine and that was a blessing.

New medium introduced
Impasto modeling wax

I built up a thick  form on gessoed board and carved into it
I tried to transfer onto surface but was not successful
but its great for embedding , collage

Then I dipped lace into medium and wrapped the edge of a shadow box

et voila another Shrine
I can go back into this with the heat gun and change it at anytime
