More Pebble Art

`` Nativity Scene``

I am enjoying  this latest craft. I am running out of stones......but due to this foot I will have to wait until I am weight bearing to gather more.


``Girls Night Out`` 

`` Laundry Day``

Newest Paintings


With my broken foot I am exiled to the house....no outdoor work. Therefore I am enjoying some long missed painting time.
The above picture is my version of one of my clematis plants in my back yard.
 

This painting I call `Sailing`. I followed a painter online out of England. Again another style of painting.

Pebble Art


When we visited Dave and Nancy in NS we walked a beach and everyone helped me collect rocks.
Once home I did these pictures. Dave and nancy stopped in on their way to Bangor and dave liked this one so I gave it to him.

I had made the above one for them, as we walked the beach whilein Liscombe.



Latest Paintings

This picture currently hangs at work, summer flowers


Since I am not working, I have more time to enjoy my painting.
This is a picture of Emma and the boys last summer at New River Beach and above that is my interpertation of the picture.


Some of you may remember Bob Ross from the 1970's on PBS.
He did his paintings on TV.
Paul found Bob on Netflix and this is a painting I did along with Bob Ross. It is slightly different as I made some changes.
He had some great, easy tips.

This reflects the tulip Festival from Ottawa. Theses are some of the  tulips I saw in the many beautiful tulips beds.

Peg Leg


The cast has now been on for 1 week and I have been non weight bearing for 3 weeks....5 more to go.
This apparatus is called an IWalk and it has given me my mobility and independence back. I can do stairs with it but I need assistance if walking on uneven ground.
Just call me Peg Leg.

 Weather was fantastic.



Brenna and John were down for the weekend for one of Brennas high schhol friends wedding.
Kids had fun in pool, went to new River Beach.


 My foot is longing for the pool but it cannot be.

I have been non weight bearing since the break and will be non weight bearing for another 7-8 weeks.
Poor Paul.

 It was a very relaxing weekend. 
They are great cooks, great hosts.
We visited local attractions.
We spent part of the day on Sunday out on the boat......absolutely a beautiful afternoon.


And then I broke my foot. :-(
