Mystery Woman

Did you miss me? My computer was struck down with a virus and had to visit the computer hospital. I still don’t have my photo uploader software installed yet so this is picture of the Tangled Gardens gate from the archives.

Wolfville! That’s where I was today. Mum and I drove up in the morning and we had a great day poking about and of course popped into our favourite antique haunt, The Red Barn in Port Williams. Three stories of fascinating stuff. I’ll show you some pics in a day or so. I purchased a tiny daguerrotype picture of a young woman. I was transfixed by her hair.

Isn’t it remarkable. Through the magic of scanning, I’ve reproduced her to a much much larger size and I can now see how young she is and pretty! Her eyes are lovely and she has a charming freckled face. We can even see a stray strand of hair on the left that has escaped her “do”. The pink cheeks are added to the original picture which is only about 2 inches tall. I would LOVE to know more about her but alas…..

In other news…my whale painting in Mahone Bay Trilogy Gallery sold! Always exciting. Would love to know where it ‘s new home will be.

And….I’ve been asked to participate in Big Day Downtown again… a $100 VISA gift card was handed to me and a few other lucky bloggers at a lovely soiree held at The Middle Spoon last week. A place I will definitely visit again.This time the Big Day Downtown has to be something I’ve never done before so I am excited about exploring various possibilities and blogging about it. Maybe a tattoo???? Nah.
Here is what I did last time round. Halifax is such a great city! Read Part 1, 2 & 3

Oh and I just had a give away on my FACEBOOK ART page, so if you don’t want to miss any future fun, pop over and “like” it:)
