Holy Chalk?

Here is a piece I recently created in my Grade Two classroom as an illustration to the story of King George and the Dragon.

Chalk on down to Creekbread!

How happy I was this summer to be asked to create chalkboard menus and art for Creekbread Restaurant. I enjoyed working on every piece and felt great because it is a restaurant with heart!
Below, their specials board which is in their entrance:

Next came their commitment to using local, quality ingredients (sorry for blurriness):

Next came an art piece above their stone oven:

Then a large board hanging overhead that illustrates why I say 'a restaurant with heart':

And finally a small, tidy drinks board:

More fun with bunting!

I was happy to have some of my banner sell at the Vancouver Waldorf Christmas Fair and look forward to sharing them at the Whistler Waldorf School Christmas Fair this Saturday, Dec. 8th!

Good will bunting??

So I guess the official term is 'bunting'...whatever it is called, I sure enjoy sewing them!

Flag Stop Theatre and Arts Festival

I had the pleasure of painting the stage set for the play Agnes by Stephen Vogler that was performed  at the Flag Stop Theatre and Arts Festival this evening. The backdrop is to depict the interior of Harrop's Tea Room that used to be located right there at the Point where the play was performed.
The windows would have looked out onto the lake and mountains that can be seen behind the stage set. I was impressed to see how well they matched in this photo.

I once wrote little verses for my Grade One students, giving each student a woodland creature. Later in Grade Two, I wrote a story for each student starring their woodland creature, each creature displaying the wonderful qualities that I saw inherent in the students. These students are now going into Grade Seven and will be with a new teacher! In gratitude for the six years I spent with them and learned with them, I am working on one last little painting for each student.
Depicted here are the Pika for CJ and the Stellar's Jay for AO.

The poster for Whites reds and blues - our school's annual fundraiser! I was happy to be able to contribute the wine glasses/grapes image that was used for the poster. Do come out to support us!
