Gary Friesen 1950 - 2011

This post is dedicated to my cousin Gary Friesen. In my mind he will always be the guy with the great hair, lopsided smile and an old car to work on. My thoughts are with Edna, Pat, Marlene and Diana.

Sunflower

It is important for me to go back over old photos as I redefine my Photoshop skills. A little bit of gaussian blur on the background made this the photo I didn't have the equipment for, to do in camera, when I took this shot.

Ottawa

A couple of tourist shots from our nation's capital. We went to the National Gallery of Canada and saw the Caravaggio exhibit. Made possible by Brian. Much thanks.

Cloud Box

This image is an experiment in selected focus. But the purpose of this entry is to show you a recent discovery. The piece is called "Cloud Box" and it is by Peter Alexander, from California. It was done in the '60's, I believe. I found it in today's edition of "Art Knowledge News" which I receive every day.

Show Warning

In mid October I will be hanging some work at the Unitarian Church on the corner of 49th and Oak Street. I will post details for viewing times in future blogs.

Stones Like Broken Hearts

Lake Winnipeg at Gimli.

Scarborough Bluffs

Another moment from four days dense with memorable moments. This one thanks to Jennifer.
