A Study in Black & White

Artworks by Zipolita

Where:  Bean Around the World

 1945 Cornwall  St.

Kitsilano, Vancouver B.C. 

It's so exciting. I've been working so hard on learning how to paint oils and now I get to show you all my hard work. In the last few days my painting has really improved and I was telling my sister that I feel like singing "By George, I think she's got it!" from "My Fair Lady" as things seem to be falling into place.

It's super cool because I don't know if you remember but this has all come above fairly suddenly and it's really a miracle or a bunch of them. Obviously I believe in angels, I have named my child Angel and well I ask for their help often and I see a lot of signs of confirmation too.

That may sound silly to some but for me, I believe.

Anyways in my Facebook there was a little saying like this, I really didn't think about the repost part, it was more the message and the timing. ;)

Now it was so cool because I had been planning to comfirm my display yesterday, and had not got around to calling when the manager called me to confirm. This made me so happy. I hadn't wanted to get my hopes up too high as I was supposed to have my display last month but it got pushed back a month. Which is fine, it gave me more time. Anyways the other cool thing was that before I went to bed I got an email from Kelowna, where I had answered a Call for Artists, and the lady there say my work was beautiful and was asking me how many pieces I had to see how much space I could fill. Isn't that absolutely fabulous.

So it's all happening, I just have to go with the flow. I also need more canvas and paints. I feel the need to paint bigger.

Please see more details and a map here.

Wow! I was in tears listening to Joshua, especially when he said his mom is in the shelter and he actually starting tapping because he was hungry. It's so cool that Ellen has helped him out this way!! Hurray!

We had alot of fun this morning. We got up early and went down to watch the St. Patrick's Day Parade. We were there about  9:45 and went looking for the facepainting. We were approached by a Leprachaun who asked us if we would like to be in the parade.

Well what kid wouldn't, so of course we had to do it. I was hestitant at first because of the cold and the length but it wasn't as far as I though and luckily it didn't rain.

We carried flags for which we were richly rewarded by our Leprechaun Templeton with 4 leaf clovers! Very Cool! When we reached the end we quickly found a place along the route to take photos of the rest of the parade. I took alot of video.

Here is just the highlights and it is 7 minutes. I'll put up the entire thing later, it's 15 minutes.



We had a great time. My daughter was thrilled. I just loved the Black Sheep. All the dancers were fabulous. I surprised at all the entrants. It was really well done. We were blessed with good weather too!

He's Challenged!

Having worked with people who have brain- damage and other severe challenges, I had my eyes opened long ago about some of the derogatory words people use and how they have no clue how hurtful they are.

This was especially important as I started to raise my daughter and was learning how to teach her to have great understanding and empathy for all people. This video is awesome. It's so well done and really drives the point home. I believe it will help.

 Let's share it and teach people a better way. When I speak of anyone dealing with anything, I say "s/he's challenged!" And the truth is we are all challenged in some way. Aren't we?

Take a Media Break!!

I have been talking about this alot in my home lately. Too much time on the computer, TV, Ds. I am to blame as I use the computer alot in Social Media and creating videos which my daughter emulates.

She's getting really good. Watching this though is REALLY eye opening and is pushing me that much harder to stop this pattern.





When we were in Mexico, we rarely watched TV. We did use the computer a bit, but not much compared to here. We really need to go. What about you? Ever think about escaping the whole rat race and just taking your kids to some rural area and letting them see how people fend for themselves when they are off the grid.

Have you ever heard of WWOOF.  
WWOOF is a world wide network of organisations. http://www.wwoof.org/ I read this great story about 2 guys that travelled across Canada. They stayed at ten places. Wouldn't that be a cool thing to teach your kid. Stay at different Organic Farms that were off the grid and really see how it's done.

The reason I am thinking alot about this today is not only is it International Woman's Day,  there is also a big Solar Storm happening.


From the Huffington Post
Two huge solar flares erupted from the sun late Tuesday (March 6), triggering one of the most powerful solar storms in more than five years. The solar tempest is expected to intensify aurora displays (also known as the northern and southern lights) on Earth, according to space weather scientist Joseph Kunches, of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA).

From Toronto Star
Solar Storm could causes disruptions
North American utilities are monitoring for abnormalities on their grids and have contingency plans, said Kimberly Mielcarek, spokeswoman for the North American Electric Reliability Corporation, a consortium of electricity grid operators.

This is so cool!!  I've dreamed about having a farm for a long time, and sometimes I've sat around with friends and dreamed of one day owning a bunch of little houses, like a commune...and someone is already thinking about doing that here. Wouldn't that be fabulous. It's really sad for the people who originally owned it. The story doesn't mention them. Wonder what happened to them?

The bank is getting all famous and some family has lost their home. That's sad. If I won the lottery and was moving there, I would invite them back to live there if they wanted.

I would have huge lavender gardens, and sage and thyme ...and create a organic soap store with lots of holistic, organic and alternative salves and things. Hmmmm! Delicious. That's my dream.

Each day I would paint pretty oil paintings in the garden of all the beautiful buildings and countryside. How wonderful that would be. Well that's what I would do. What would you do?
