Hilda Woolnough has left her mark on Island art like no other. During her 30 years on the Island, Woolnough has been a teacher and tireless champion of artist's rights and opportunities, serving on the boards of many professional provincial and federal arts organizations. She was a driving force behind The Phoenix Gallery, The Gallery-On-Demand, the Great George Street Gallery, The Arts Guild, the Printmakers Council and the Student Art Expo.
Woolnough has pursued her own work with equal vigour, constantly exploring new media. Her passion is for expressive line in drawing and printmaking but she has also created jewellery, weavings, and quilts. Hilda Woolnough was born into a creative family in Northampton, England. Her mother, uncle, and brother were all painters; her father built and restored houses. In 1952 she began traditional training at the Chelsea School of Art in London, drawing from plaster casts and still life, developing strong discipline and technique. It was here that she first experimented with printmaking, a medium she has passionately pursued throughout her career. But it was with a specialty in painting that she graduated in 1955. Woolnough immigrated to Canada in 1957, settling in Hamilton, Ontario. In 1965 she headed to the San Miguel de Allende Instituto in Mexico, where she studied experimental etching for two years, graduating with a Master's of Fine Art degree in graphics. Back in London, she did post-graduate work at the Central School of Art and Design in metal techniques. After designing the etching and lithography departments at the Jamaica School of Art in Kingston, Jamaica, Woolnough found her way to PEI. Together with her husband, UPEI professor, writer and publisher, Reshard Gool, she formed part of the nucleus for a vibrant arts community.
In 1999 Hilda Woolnough received the Adrien Arsenault Senior Arts Award for "contribution to the arts in Prince Edward Island" and was elected to the Royal Canadian Academy. Her work is in many public and private collections including the Montreal Museum of Fine Art, the Art Gallery of Ontario, and the Canada Council Art Bank.
Woolnough most often works in series, exploring an idea fully, guided by both intellect and intuition. Nature and the human form provide a starting point, but she moves beyond the representational to a deeper, more universal expression.
"I'm interested in evolution of plants, land, the world," Woolnough once said in a interview. "There are stages in the growth of the brain that are reptilian or flower-like. They're proof that we are all the sum of our parts, like the land or sea." This interest in evolution embraces the development of myth and human culture and the process of transformation, themes she has explored throughout her career.
"What is most important to me as an artist are 'accidents and mistakes' If I don't make them technically and intellectually on a regular basis I don't feel I'm going anywhere. I have lived on Prince Edward Island for about thirty three years, but I have travelled, taught, and done my own work all over the world; and been fortunate enough to have my work in many collections and exhibitions in Canada and abroad, including the Canadian Pavillion in the Spanish Biennial in Seville."
Hilda Woolnough passed away in December 2007.

Maria's story about the Barbie doll she found left in the box & which got her interested in dolls again made me think it would be an interesting tag game.
Which doll or incident re-ignited your interest in dolls?
Most of us are past the blush of youth & had put our fashion dolls away many years ago. We've had careers, done voluntary work, got married, had familes, travelled...... But at some point we came back to our childhood dolls.
So post a photo of the doll/dolls that got YOU interested again after all those years!
For me the starting point was my husband's Action Man. He had one from the 1970s & decided to sell it on eBay. I thought 'Hey, I've a bunch of old Sindys somewhere...'
I went to my parents house & got down the big applebox I'd packed them away into all the years before - oh, so many memories!
I took them home & started dressing them for sale..... But I found it such fun, & this girl in particular was dear to me - She's a 70's Sindy (a Trendy Girl, I think) & this was my favorite dress for her.
I sold a few, but of course I didn't sell this girl & my interest took off - much to my husband's dismay! He's got used to it now, but for a while he actually thought I was having some sort of breakdown & regressing into childhood! Lol!
Sometimes puppeteers are a little short so we give them things to make them taller.

The Voigtlander Nokton 35mm f1.2 is an amazing lens. Fastest production 35mm for M cameras (and with a handful of them made in Nikon Rf mount too). Not a small lens - but it is after all a f1.2 lens.
Eucalyptus bridgesiana Apple box tree up to 20 meters tall, with a spreading crown and often gnarled branches.
Eucalyptus bridgesiana Apple box have grey scaly-flaky or tessellate bark, often cracked in blocks at lower base. The rough box bark of the trunk and lower branches changes into smooth bark at the upper branches.

Today is a proud day for me. I set out to do something I was not sure I would complete. I have successfully posted one image every day for a year. Of those images, only a handful were taken with a phone camera. I can only think a few which I felt were "crap." For every day I thought I had a great concept for an image, there were two when I had no idea what I would photograph. Every time I was convinced I had a novel idea, it would inevitably morph into something different. While I felt as though I was doing this for myself (much like I feel about writing this post), and in a vacuum, it has been extraordinary to hear from people supporting my work. For that I am sincerely grateful. A few people have even mentioned wishing to purchase some of my prints. Who could imagine?!! Back to the final image of the year!! I have had this idea tucked away in my grey matter for months. Always afraid it would be too difficult and time-consuming to pull off, I kept pushing it off. As the year quickly came to an end, I decided it would make sense to shoot it on the final day. So, there are only two lights working in the image. There is a snooted speedlight directly above my head, and it lights my face and head. Secondly, there is a shoot-through umbrella just above camera. It actually lights the entire scene. There is a window above the bath, and I set up a grey backdrop to kill the natural light, and also to create a uniform background. I knew I would be dropping in the background in post, and this made it easier. I had a limited budget, and managed to keep it under $3. That headwrap material cost me $2.99, and I purchased it at Joanne's. The two quill feathers were from my daughter's art supplies. As for the background, I attempted several different techniques....all of which failed. After much tireless research, I finally found the perfect technique!!! I took a screen capture of a high-resolution copy of the original painting........and used Jacques-Louis's background. I owe you one, Jacques-Louis!! Thank goodness I own a couple of apple boxes. Well, that is pretty much all there is to say. For all, I wish a content, healthy, and fulfilling new year. Thank you sincerely for taking a look.

Made by hacking an ordinary apple box. If you go hand held, you need
one of these, pronto. Brilliant in it's simplicity. Bravo.
As far as I know, this is the first hacked apple box for the 35mm motion picture camera of its kind, known on set as "The Manger" or "The Night Stand".

One of the things I've been postponing is getting my scoot in for service. All the dealers are out in the suburbs, so last year I bought a trailer kit and finally got it put together.
The ramp is just wide enough for the bike's tires, so I found a weld shop yesterday and had some diamond-lug plate welded onto it so my feet would have a place to go as I slowly rode the bike up the ramp.
Of course, I didn't think about how quickly my feet would leave the ground as soon as the front tire started up the ramp, so I put down a couple of appleboxes for the initial part of the tilt up.
Tested it going a bit up a couple of times, and finally decided it was going to work if I didn't chicken out halfway through and pull in the clutch.
Well, I didn't chicken out... until the ramp twisted to the left, pitching the bike over far enough to make it impossible to ride it up. So I'm stuck...me with one foot on the applebox, the bike leaned over 10 degrees, up in the air, at an angle that made it virtually impossible to get my right leg off the bike and over onto my side.
It's amazing how much you can bench-press when the adrenaline hits.
Eventually I got my leg over, righted the bike, and eased it back down the ramp without dropping the bike or hurting myself.
But I can't say this has been a good day.

I've taken plenty of photos of the bark of the Yellow Box and the Blakely's Red Gum but until now, I hadn't taken one of an Apple Box. Very different texture and colours.

The reserve is a very special place when it comes to trees. I am not good at identifying Australian trees, but even I understood there was a hugely diverse canopy above me, especially as we moved around different areas within the reserve. To give an idea of the types of trees that are present, here’s an extract from the ) “An open forest or woodland community dominated by Mountain Gum (Eucalyptus dalrympleana) and Broad-leaved Peppermint (E. dives) occurs on level to gently inclined land at higher elevations in the nature reserves. Associated tree species include snow gum (E. pacuflora) and Acacia falciformis. Sheltered valleys and south-facing slopes support and open forest or woodland community dominated by Ribbon Gum (Eucalyptus viminalis). Associated canopy species may include Mountain Gum, Red Stringybark (E. macrorhyncha), Snow Gum and Applebox (E. bridgesiana).”
Amazing. Happy tree-mendous Tuesday, everyone! [Winburndale Nature Reserve, NSW]
