Luv Birds by heykillermiller

You know? I'm from Florida. So I drew a flamingo. For my Florida folks. Can't wait to pink it up. A lot of people ask me up here in Canada land how I could leave such a warm place. I guess I'm just weird! Actually I followed a boy up here when I was 19.

Forgot to share!

Bzzz! Fun friends that don't sting.

Support the arts! Of a starving momma artist... And Newz

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Miller) — Sat, 17 Apr 2010 23:04:00 +0000

Well, you can now donate to support my efforts at creating. This is via PayPal, which also accepts credit cards:

I have a slew of plans in the works. I'm excited to finally be moving forward with my art, I just wish I could speed things up, but being a momma of two wee ones (3 and nearly 2 years), one still recovering from a chemo treatment for bilateral retinoblastoma, forces one to take time. That last bit of news about the kids said, they are both doing well. My daughter has been stable for nearly a year and a half, while my son has no new tumors and growth of current ones are slowing, and with current chemo treatments the tumors shrank. We are hoping for future inactivity of these stubborn tumors for him.

Other news: I am planning on some auctions for prints, selling some soon to come original paintings. Some prototypes for greeting cards are in the works and I have to admit they're lookin' pretty cute!

I also have a children's book in process. The main draft is nearly complete. So, if all goes well, there should be lots to look forward to, in many ways!!

:D

I ran into un gros bluet (in this case, pronounced blu-ah) the other day. He told me everything came from Lac Saint-Jean. Now I know where I'm from!

This big blueberry, I mean Serge Gagnon, not only cooks a tasty holiday stew, but he plays piano like a man possessed.

Results of the épluchette (de blé d'inde) or corn peeling party. In Quebec they love their corn and their corn loves them. I love their corn too. It's even good without butter!

This was in summer. I'm sort of longing for those days, could you tell?

A little word on the people who've helped us. The IWK Children's Hospital in Halifax, Nova Scotia began my daughter's treatment and gave us a smooth transfer to the Montreal Children's Hospital. The oncology department was phenomenal and personal to the end. I never experienced anything like that. I also gave birth there, so it wasn't my only experience, and they were so kind. If you feel like giving a donation to a worthy cause, to support the IWK is certainly worth while.

IWK: Ways to Give

As well, it was very hard leaving the family feeling the IWK gave us, the Montreal's Children Hospital gave us a bit of a shock, but considering that they deal with a much larger population they too are doing a phenomenal job, doing their personal best to give as much as they can to help so many, many children living with cancer and diseases of the blood. They have been very kind and very giving. They are also working on a new hospital to improve their care. And with such a large population, they really need the help to keep up and to continue to give a personal touch, for the current hospital and the new one. They are another worthy cause: Montreal Children's Hospital Foundation

Hey artists! Need help?

I'm back from holidaying and here's a little note to all fellow artists and craftspeople OR those who know of them! I'd like to assist any fellow visual artists or craftspeople for part time work. I'm interested in doing mural art, so that would be one suggestion, but I'm not limited to that. I'm interested in any crafts whatsoever from textiles to metals. I love to work with my hands and to get messy, so I'm up for anything.

Thanks!

Self-Portrait -- The Sea

noreply@blogger.com (Jennifer Miller) — Sat, 27 Oct 2007 03:23:00 +0000

I was unable to post the last assignment, however I have another that I too completed--the assignment was to create a self-portrait with you as the character in a piece of literature (even a song). I'm reading The Dark Clue by James Wilson, a kind of mystery based on the English painter, William Turner--he painted many, many works of the sea and waterways, his use of color and the feelings he creates with them are just indescribable--a must see!! Well, I couldn't exactly put myself in the shoes of the characters, so I decided to be the sea! And so, my efforts are below. Hope you enjoy or at least giggle. The ship is named "By George". Ah ha ha...

What a lovely name, no? Well you ought to see his illustrations. He's a Halifax illustrator of children books. Will I ever be this prolific? Well, we'll see, they certainly are an inspiration!

You can see his latest and greatest at his blog!

...but it's not. Still, if you didn't look left or right, you would think you were in the country. Sometimes I try to imagine what a place was like fifty or one-hundred years ago, right where I'm standing.

Excerpt, originally uploaded by Ron J. Añejo.

"I hear, I hear, I hear,
And my own soul grows cold and deaf
To know your eyes
Are grown opaque and white:
And by all the green in me
Of which you sowed the seeds
I can only pray for a spring
To come and soothe the fears
Drying your well of Love."

Prayer For A Father
