Rebecca told me that her friend, Marion Cumming, had invited us to come for tea on Sunday – and bring our art work, since that is how Marion sometimes spends her Sunday afternoons – doing artwork with friends.
She said there would be lots of paper, collage materials, coloured pencils and pens and so we should just bring us. Rebecca is in the middle of her sketching classes, so she brought along her own sketch book.
This week’s homework for Wednesday is to draw the heads of ten people and that task isn’t finished.
The drive there was beautiful – down to Oak Bay and then up the hill to Marion’s place.
When we got out of the car I could see that her home was built on a steep slope, the hills held back with beautiful stone hedges, and there was a deer standing on the law, playing down the hill at the foot of the driveway.
Marion has some beautiful card stock on which she has drawn another moment when she saw deer bounding down the hill.
A lovely afternoon doing artwork and thinking about the miracle of those who can transfer the beauty they see to paper! Oh yes, there was also trifle, almond ice-cream, brownies and tamari-roasted almonds, plus an exotic blends of local leaves into tea.
Oh yes to doing artwork Sunday afternoons.
Here is a link to an article on Marion, and another to a link of her giving a talk about the decision she and her husband made to pass their property back to First Nations people when they pa
