wowee
I've never listened to Limbaugh before...do sane Americans really take him seriously? (This is after catching him speak for an hour on CNN.)

joy #59 Of Trying A New Way of Painting, watercolour, Arches, 11x15. Feb 28/09
+ that new way would be painting ala prima...but in watercolours. No drawing at all, just using colour and hoping they don't turn to mud + you've got the perspective + the dimensions somewhere in the ball park.

joy #55 Of Keira's Dresses, this year at the Oscars a Pink Jewel, Feb 24/09
Last year's Oscar's were so boring, we barely watched it this year. But what a difference. It was actually fun and Keira had the best coloured dress of all, in my opinion.

leonard plays U.S. for 1st time in 15 years....
And overwhelms. Not surprisingly. He is just too fabulously unique. America has Obama + we have Leonard. Beacon show broadcast on npr, Thursday.

I'm a big suck for dog paintings...+ this painting, by Elin Pendleton sums up visually, what it feels like having a dog around, especially ones with a few guard or protective genes in them...more of Elin's work

joy#50, Of A Finished Oil Painting, This One A Year in the Making, 12x24, oil on wood, Feb19.09
Not consecutively, natch. But from the beginning to the end...
joy#49, Ain't No Drag. Mamma's Got A Brand New...
And this one couldn't be more perfect for leashes, camera, dog cookies, etc. to replace one I got years ago in Mexico that finally hit the dust. This beauty from Guatemala, greatly appreciated.

Wow. Sore Winners...the separatists "win" and then still gripe
The battle re-enactment has been called off. (A battle re-enactment that took place, once already, incidentally, under a PQ gov't, ten years ago...) So are the
folks behind the no-battle battle happy? don't hold your breath Why can't people be more like kittens +fauns? I mean, fawns.

Joy#47 Mixed, of Finding a Painting Painted Over, oil on wood, 36x48, 2005
Mixed is right. Found this in my "boat paintings" file. Can't remember why I painted over it...think I thought the figure was "off"...had a lot of trouble with this piece as it was painted, although I didn't realize it at the time, to commemorate a friend, a great outdoorsman/artist who drown, during the first thaw of the spring...

do Quebec separatists ever get tired?
of being Debbie Downers? This week alone, they are mad at the President of the French Republic for expressing his views about Quebec separatism. (He's agin' it.) Also, they are pissed off about his choice of friends. Apparently the President of the Republic of France has to ask the good separatists of Quebec who he should be friends with. Then there's the big whoopdeedoo about the proposed battle re-enactment on the Plains of Abraham this summer, in Quebec City. Also this week a huge fuss about a new Canadian international art award of some kind they are included in. Huh? Where is the big gallic joie de vivre spirit we hear so much about? Come on guys, lighten up. I know it's February, but it's February for everyone.

dear rottweilers, dobermans + pit bulls...
This is the "dog park" in Jeanne Mance Park. It's right beside an inner city high way called Park Avenue without a fence or enclosure of any kind. (Ok, I'm exaggerating a tiny bit but cars do go very very fast + dogs have been killed on it.) Beside this "dog park" area there is a huge field for soccer players, used only part of the year. A big baseball diamond, used only part of the year, a designated bike path, a pool for kids used for only a short part of the year. As for the dog people + their dogs? We're out there EVERYDAY all year round. + this is our puny restricted hours only no leash area. Humbug!

If in Montreal...
Very good show to see to appreciate just how fabulous Matisse,Toulouse-Lautrec,Degas, Bonnard, etc. etc. etc. are. Something about learning from negative example...
