Invitation to Vein, a new Drawing Challenge
Hi everybody,
I’m having the roof replaced and I need a distraction.
Mainly because there are bits of roof flying all over my show garden instead of on the tarps where they’re supposed to land.
I spoke to R this morning and told him that I might just have a heart attack watching the pieces of roof land on the snowdrops and the roses in the front.
A great big coronary, or as it’s known round here: a Sean Connery!
So I’m proposing Vein, a new drawing challenge!
And I’m about to go hide myself in my studio…where I just discovered that the ventilation fan has gone leaving an open hole to the sky!…and I’ll muck about with some paint.
When I think of vein and art together, I inevitably think of Frida Kahlo. Every time. What wonderful art she produced. So I’ll try to ignore the great big hole where the fan used to be, and get some paints out, and plug into the vein of gold that is my sketchbook and the Frida Kahlo inspiration page.
Brrr, it’s cold up here!
Won’t you join me?

I can relate to what you are going thru with the roof. We had ours done 2 years ago in the summer and had to escape on the 3rd day.
My roofers were excellent in ensuring that my ferns etc were not damaged. Some people might say they’re only ferns they’ll grow back but the roofers knew how I felt about my plants so were careful and did a fab job of cleaning up after themselves each day.
Maybe you’ll want to have that hole turned into a sky light.
I love Frida – visited her home/museum in Mexico City and saw a fantastic one woman show in Vancouver at the Cultch year’s ago re her.

Hi Rosemarie, These guys are doing fine after a little talk and a quick call to the company. I think for the most part the plants will be ok, but I’ve been dreading this day. Knew it would be a problem to remove the roof and not damage anything. 🙁

Veronica

my roof needs help too. I am trying to decide what to do. But it is small and should be done in 4-5 days….. I would love to join in for Vein. Thanks for the invite and for hosting!
Veronica
That’s so great Tammie. I love your artwork and always look forward to seeing it. 😀

I HATE it when workers get in my garden, Once a painter was working on the outside (I was out) and got out his tools and PRUNED all the plants to the house to the GROUND. The bushes and I are still recovering. There was nothing I could say.. it was done. Hope you weather is nice, or that hole in the roof might be a problem! love c
