Tabs jumped over 3 meters at long jump and Pip had a wonderful time in the bouncy castle at her year-end preschool party. After track, I took Tabs with me to Pip&#8217;s party. Tabs loved being the &#8220;big girl&#8221; helper and was assigned the job as official tattoo artist. I have a lovely orca on my arm thanks to her tattoo talents \ud83d\ude09<\/p>\n<p>I am kneading my brain for art theory and inspirations. Where is it that my art has come from and where is it I want it to go? With thought, it is quite obvious who my inspirations have been and the philosophy that has inspired my art.<\/p>\n<p><i>Where have I come from<\/i>?<br \/><b>My inspirations<\/b>: Emily Carr, Georgia O&#8217;Keefe, Frida Kahol, Tamara De Lempika, Caravaggio, John Singer Sargent, Anthony Van Dyck, Robert Bateman. This doesn&#8217;t mean that these alone are my favorite artists, but rather the artists who most inspired my style.<br \/>\u00a0<b>The philosophy behind my work<\/b>:<br \/>Buddhism, feminism, naturalism.<br \/><b>Art philosophy behind my work<\/b>: realism, modernism, soft-cubism,\u00a0\u00a0post cubism, percisionism, classical realism, naturalism, portraiture.<br \/><i>Where am I going<\/i>?<br \/>\u00a0Intimate portraits of natural Okanagan life: realism, modernism, naturalism and portraiture with a little percisionism thrown in for good measure!<br \/>And as always the passionate philosophies inspiring my art remain true: feminism, Buddhism and naturalism.<\/p>\n<p>Mist attended a sleep over at a friends last night and is finished exams. This morning she is at a special leadership conference as she made it into being a grade 9 &#8220;WEB&#8221; leader at her school next year.<br \/>Tabs is at school and the Pip and I have a few errands to run.
