- Basil stuffed strawberries..and bubbles at la fête de la fraise. May 25, 2013In the spirit of the fraise season and it being the fruit of our region, I trumped up these little strawberry helpings. Very versatile, they can be served as part of a buffet, or an ending to a meal as dessert, or with a cheese platter, or even an apéritif for an al fresco dinner. […]

- A spring poulain! April 29, 2013Spring is supposed to have arrived, but on some days? I wonder if I made a mistake with the seasons..maybe we are moving into winter? Noo..n..it is spring, surely. In spite of icy weather, we have lilacs blooming profusely, wisterias drooping low with heavy blooms, tulips swaying their hips and young ones grazing in the [...]
Postcard from my walk
- Flynn's Beach Rocks from Liz May 24, 2013Our postcard project this year seems to be spluttering along a bit erratically, but to see a colourful rectangle in the postbox is always a thrill. This time it was one of Liz's wonderful rock-and-beach scenes from her recent holiday at Port Macquarie (fairly recent, as I've taken a while to get to posting this!) I had been thoroughly enjoying see […]

- Sentimental Reasons April 6, 2013This past month has had more than a few challenges, funny how they come in bunches. The weather was in a tug-of-war between winter and tiny tantalizing bursts of spring. Days were becoming heavy. An unexpected knock at the door reversed my inner grayness. A smiling delivery man handed me a huge bouquet radiating Sunshine and Light. The timing was as perfect […]

This cold wet weather is a bit early though, the Bank Holiday isn't 'til Monday!This painting is taken from my neighbour Camille's kitchen. The last weekend of the exhibition, closing Monday evening.Camille's Pots. Watercolour, 14 x […]

- Paper pieced Log Cabin October 7, 2012Log cabin quilt, 24" x 24", paper pieced using batik fabrics. I uploaded these three photos and gave my post a title, and looked back to find a link on my blog for the quilt I did in another colourway...and found it has the same three shots and title...how boring and predictable! Oh well, here it is, the little quilt I've been doing off and on […]

- The World Looks so Different Today May 14, 2013We had the loveliest West Coast weather here. On a bright and warm star-filled Saturday morning, my darling husband passed away peacefully in his own bed with three of his family around him. There is not a hand book or guide for these things, they happen and you are stunned.I will love him always: Philip was my best friend for 50 years and my husband for 47. […]

I like to work this way because of my design background and love of color, but when there's nothing else going for it, when t […]

- 5 Sure Ways to Gain Perspective May 21, 2013Suzanne McDermottJournal entry, 28 April 13Step BackPerspective is not something we "get." Perspective develops, evolves. The need for perspective indicates a problem that requires a solution. In my experience, I've learned that whether the problem I'm facing is emotional, technical, creative, or in relationship with another person, I am […]

I walked the path for about an hour, sketching about every 20 or 30 minuets. This one is with the ocean behind me facing north/east.

- A Front Cover May 24, 2013I can't believe my painting's on the front cover of The MacLaurin Gallery magazine . It seems unreal, that it's someone else. It's because of a new venture, a wall featuring local artists. This, however, does feel real - three of my four granddaughters and their doting Grandma!

- Making and Baking Cakes May 25, 2013THURSDAY MAY 23 ’13 Rain has been so rare lately that they made an announcement on the radio to say it was coming. What! Rain in winter! Who’d have thought. So it was out with our coats and umbrellas. Two setups today. One for bowls spoons, graters, jugs etc needed to make a cake, the other was what is needed to bake one. It’s quite interesting to sketch tho […]
