David paints at The Experimental Farm – 2008!
Art on the Farm:
David participated in an “Art on the Farm” event a while back and it was a wonderful well-run, collegial event. We were pleasantly surprised to see that the Friends of the Farm are planing to hold the event again this summer. For any artists wishing to show their “lock-down collection”, check it out at: https://friendsofthefarm.ca/event/2020-art-on-the-farm/
The Joy of Boredom:
We’ve long thought that being bored had something to do with creativity – in order to get started, there has to be some sense of discomfort and then you begin….We were fascinated to find that this is not unique and indeed boredom has it’s upside: https://www.theguardian.com/global/2020/may/03/why-its-good-to-be-bored
Lock-down Art:
Among the many initiatives, this one from Seattle shopkeepers caught our eye: https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/gallery/2020/apr/28/seattle-artists-murals-stores-coronavirus
Family Drama:
Finally, creativity to the power of…..family! Whether the product of optimized domestic proximity, unusual circumstance or newly discovered familial energy, there is magic brewing around the globe. Every day, it seems that new gems of human expression find their way to our screens, and what inspirational treasures they are! Let’s hope that our amazing human family keeps them coming (recommended by David’s brother in the UK, by the way). Enjoy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdcS0Nbo7Ng
