What better way to spend Canada Day than painting in the studio with our Vancouver granddaughter. How lucky can anyone be to have two beautiful granddaughters who love to paint with their doting grandpa.❤️

Canada Day 2020
On this Canada Day we remember Abbigail Cowbrough and her five co-members of the Canadian Armed Forces who went down with their helicopter off the coast of Greece in April.

love, love, love
Always the best part of any visit is painting with the artist in residence and today’s rainbow couldn’t have been a better subject to paint.

Looks like the time has arrived.
“perfect happiness”
Prayer flags at Tiger’s Nest, Bhutan
My way of saying thank you to Kelly who has treated us to her trip to Bhutan on her wonderful blog Compass and Camera, which she has posted every day since we all started sheltering in place, with her wish to add “a bit of light to the darkness as we get through the pandemic together.” The title perfect happiness is explained in Kelly’s post yesterday Tiger’s Nest, Bhutan, which I recommend everyone should read and enjoy.Thank you Kelly for lighting our darkness these past few months.

“Tick Tock!”
“Who’s there?”
“Wanda.”
“Wanda who?”
“Wanda what happened to the other 793,800 tickets.”

The Supreme Court of the United States on the right side of history today…almost. It should have been 9 to 0. Their landmark decision rules that federal law prohibits employment discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
