Toronto School of Art

Normally, this would be the week to get the Toronto School of Art space ready for the end-of-term exhibit,

Donnelly Smallwood's collage class #2

 which highlights works from the term by all students in the entire school,





 but as you probably have read in the Toronto paper, TSA has gone bankrupted.




That is particularly discouraging for students close to graduation.


It attracted a great community of artists and I was glad to have taken classes there in the past.


(All works are from D. Smallwood's collage class which exhibited in the hallway gallery a few weeks ago.)

Food

I spend about half my day in the kitchen (more when the four children lived at home). I love cooking and baking.

The background looks like an encaustic painting.
Did you notice the thin blue line on the bottom left?

There are so many beautiful colours and textures I notice.

This could be interesting as free motion thread work

The compositions are also interesting...achieved without any thought at all.

Nice composition, a circle that goes off the "page",
nice black "french knots" and
 a clever white strip up in the right hand corner.

Food can be a great inspiration for textile work.
