Dates, Downtown + Dorfmusik

Some highlights and discoveries:


Oliver (aged 7) has been busy drawing.  Here he depicts our family...as rabbits.


Date night in the neighborhood I grew up in.  Thanks to Biercraft on the Drive for a great evening...and to my parents for watching our littles for us!



The Von Trapp Family was in Vancouver for a concert last week.  Really so surprisingly wicked!  Love this track and this one too.  Really - I was expecting these descendants to be rather more tacky than awesome...I love being proven wrong!


A post isn't a post until I've included a lovely shot of my hometown, Vancouver...

...and a shameless plug!  I just completed my eco-conscious Spring 2015 mono-print series of abstracts...only a few left in the shop!



Hope everyone has a lovely week!

      Hope you are eating fries this very minute, M. Life is too short not to. Oxymoron? HA!

    Popcorn, fries, and beer sounds like an excellent date night. :-) Glad you enjoyed the Von Trapp Family, too! I didn't know they were around being musical.

    Love the abstract. So colorful. It seems your son has inherited your talent, too!

      Aw, thanks everyone for your lovely notes. And yes: if you haven't been to Vancouver, it's a must. City by the sea!

    The bunnies are so cute! Your art is fab. The Von Trapps were at my cousins' coffeehouse a couple weeks ago..they said they were great! I found a copy of The Sound of Music (book) at an estate sale signed by Maria and 4-5 of the kids..for 5 cents!

      That is such an amazing Von Trapp connection! I really like their folksy style...

    Hey! Long time no see sweet Melissa! :) This Biercraft date looks like the one we had a few weeks ago, plus oysters. Loved the chili popcorn... I couldn't stop nibbling! Your new prints are lovely too. Let's chat soon. (*^__^*)
