One of my favourite festivals takes place this weekend - Art on Whyte - and I hope to make it there at some point this weekend. I love going! Last year we went with my Mom and Oliver, the year before, I think Lloyd and I went alone. If you've never been, do try and go! It's a wonderful chance to enjoy the amazing artists this city - and this country has to offer!!! There is artwork to buy as well as pieces to admire and just to enjoy - and the artists are at work as you walk along the street!
For me it's also a chance to enjoy Whyte Ave and to have brunch somewhere along there, stroll along with my wonderful husband and also to do a little people watching :)
Today, with art on my mind, we got out our paints and colouring pens, our artists pencils and sketch pads, our canvases and brushes, and we took our blankets out by the flowerbed at the front of the house. We sat out there and we drew the flowers and then we painted and coloured our sketches :) It was so lovely and relaxing and we really enjoyed it!
Chris is at camp, Laurence is sleeping over at the twins, Susannah is sleeping over at her friends so it's just been me with Abby and Sam and we've been having a lovely relaxing fun day playing outside and painting. Abby painted my Phlox and then painted my Foxgloves. I did the Lupin and then I did this Daisy. I'm not quite sure what Sammy was doing :) Maybe the sky...or the blanket :)
