The Silver Pheasant has been doing his rapid-wing display very regularly……sadly, the girl is less than impressed with the showboating, better luck next time buddy!

Another painting from Maddy's show titled Celestial Canvas. Have you been lucky enough to see a caribou in the wild?

Maddy definitely has a love for ravens and crows... even if she doesn't know it! Going through her past shows, there has been one common image-a raven or crow. This was totally not intentional-but maybe it should be going forward!
The first picture shows her latest raven painting in Extraordinary Ordinary at Tipple Park Museum. The picture is of a raven at the pet cemetery near Brule overlooking the Athabasca River. The painting was created using ground up coal from the abandoned Brule Mines.
The other picture shows all of her other raven/crow art from previous shows!

This is one of the largest pieces Maddy has done (besides her murals).

It features two sandhill cranes in a field of aspens.

Check out the complete show at Tipple Park Museum now until December 21st.

Here's a peek at one of the pieces from Maddy's art show Extraordinary Ordinary. It opens this Friday at Tipple Park Museum.
The art show asks guests to take a moment to appreciate all the beauty in our region that we take for granted- like the humble bunchberry in this painting.

Freeze dried some spinach and then powdered for some smoothies today.
Pretty sure if I didnt say it was spinach, people would probably be thinking something else 🤷🏻‍♀️

That sunflower is almost 14 ft high, its my happy sunshiny face no matter where I am in the garden. I hope everyone has a great weekend, doing what you want in the heat and sun. 🤗🌞

We have lots of stuff coming off the garden rn, and Apocalypto will be going pretty cnstant in the next couple of months. Chives are always available and freeze dry with an incredible aroma and intense flavour. We use these as they are but making them into a powder makes them extremely versatile after freeze drying. 🤗

We saw this up at Fort Assiniboine.
