Mr & Mrs Picaso

Hey it's been a while since my last post. Got some random photos for people who've been asking to see them. First off is 'The Sea' poster which I started coloring when I was about 10 and finally got it framed to hang instead of being rolled up in a cardboard tube stuffed in a closet.......much to Darcie's dismay. The picture framer kept the bottom of the poster and placed it on the back which was a nice touch. As you can see, my initial intentions were to give this to dad for a Father's Day present, which didn't really happen. Sorry dad, I'm keeping it for myself - it's that good!
Look how well I kept inside the lines!
This is Darcie's oil painting. It's on a 24" x 48" canvas in our dining room
This is Jason's acrylic painting. It's on a 30" x 36" canvas above our couch

This is also Jason's acrylic painting.






(Note: sunset photo is actually not a painting by Jason. It is a picture of a sunset from our deck)

George Strombolopolous Tonight set

Darcie and I have had the opportunity to watch a live taping of a tv show. The show is George Strombolopolous Tonight which used to be called The Hour. It was neat to see how the show is produced with time for commercial breaks and lots of behind the scenes stuff. The tickets are free and is taped in the CBC building downtown. The first time we went, George interviewed two guests over Skype. We were kind of bummed there wasn't a guest interviewed in the studio so we went again the following week and got to see Billy Connolly who is a fairly well known comedian from Scotland. It was cool to watch the taping of the show and then watch it later on tv that night. On a side note, Plas-Tech made some plastic parts for the set.
These red chairs are the only things they brough from the old set when his show was called The Hour
