Merci ThereseDion/Fragile, 2004, 54”w x 33”h, diptych, combine/mixed media painting on found object (crate panels from Galerie Terese Dion)
I found these two wonderful crate panels outside (in the garbage, of course) of a very well know gallery here in Montreal, Galerie Therese Dion. I snatched them right up... I fell in love with them. And so here they are as a backdrop to a piece I created in 2004.
Mme Therese Dion has recently passed away, so I cherish these as a legacy.

ok i seriously seriously hate this photo... i effin hate when i have a photo in my mind and it turns out completely different to what i imagined it! :( i guess it happens...
that's sorta how i come up with my photos, either i dream them or i randomly have like a mental picture and that's how my ideas are created, mainly ran by emotions and personal experiences...
but tell me... how do you come up with your photos? i mean what drives you? i don't even how you elaborate the freaking question.
i literally just took this 5 minutes ago and i've had a headache all day :( really bad... i do feel... fragile.
anyways have an amazing weekend everyone!

"I held a moment in my hand, brilliant as a star, fragile as a flower, a tiny sliver of one hour. I dripped it carelessly, Ah! I didn't know, I held opportunity."
Hazel Lee
(btw, in case you were wondering, it's potpourri in my hands, dead flowers) :)

Since brass, nor stone, nor earth, nor boundless sea,
But sad mortality o’ersways their power,
How with this rage shall beauty hold a plea,
Whose action is no stronger than a flower?
O! how shall summer’s honey breath hold out,
Against the wrackful siege of battering days,
When rocks impregnable are not so stout,
Nor gates of steel so strong but Time decays?
O fearful meditation! where, alack,
Shall Time’s best jewel from Time’s chest lie hid?
Or what strong hand can hold his swift foot back?
Or who his spoil of beauty can forbid?
O! none, unless this miracle have might,
That in black ink my love may still shine bright.

I thought I had finished posting photos of this fine old house, and of Western Meadowlarks, but then I checked the photos taken with my other camera. This photo happens to show not only the empty window frames but also the missing doors, making the house look a little more fragile than I realized. Added one last Meadowlark photo from this other camera, too. They are not the easiest of birds to photograph, but I just got lucky with this one.
The five photos posted today were all taken on 18 July 2020, when I drove SE of the city in search of a ghost town. I am adding the description that I added under a previously posted photo taken on the same trip. Not many photos left to post from this amazing day.
"Yesterday, 18 July 2020, was such a beautiful day and a very rewarding one. My destination was, for me, an exciting one - an old ghost town that I had never seen before. A long, return drive of 454 kilometres on a pretty hot day was needed, in order to check out this new location. In order to do a long drive like this, I need to do it when the evenings stay light as late as possible, to make sure I don't have to drive in the dark. Completely tired out at the end of the day, but it was a good tiredness - and, more importantly, a journey that made it so easy to physically distance.
My favourite kind of day always includes a bit of everything - old barns, birds, landscapes, skies, wildflowers, and anything else. This day delivered most of those treats.
Leaving home by 8:30 am (later than I had hoped), most of my drive was highway travel. Not my favourite, but kind of necessary in order to get so far. Roads were fairly empty, which always makes a drive more pleasant, especially when I know I might want to stop to take a photo at any time.
It was definitely a Meadowlark day and it was nice to see one of them with a beak absolutely full of insects for its babies. Other birds included a few familiar species, but ones that are always good to see. I saw one Common Nighthawk this time, unlike the five I saw recently, but one is always enough and greatly appreciated.
Once I got into unfamiliar territory, I had to travel quite a distance before seeing any new-to-me old barns or homesteads. Found the first ones before I reached my destination. Once I reached the ghost town, I thoroughly enjoyed wandering around, taking photos. It is only a small place with a handful of old buildings, but very nicely kept. One of its main buildings is a small, country United Church, kept in great condition both inside and out. I had read online beforehand that people can go inside the church and sign their Guest Book, otherwise I probably would not have gone in. Really liked the door knobs to the front door.
From there, I took more or less the same route home, stopping only to photograph a few birds en route. I arrived home at 8:30 pm, with a smile on my face and eyes that were still open, thanks to taking some black coffee with me in case of emergency (i.e. unable to keep my eyes open!)."
