Cathy McKelvey 🇨🇦

People aren’t comfortable with change. Halifax is designed for cars. Today using public transit is difficult. If/when? it is designed to prioritize other forms of transportation, they will use them. I hope I live long enough to be able to use my bike instead of a car to get around the city.

Thank you. I was looking for these email addresses.

These are wonderful!

Agreed. Also an interesting way to encourage more film money. Flatter the politicians.

In Atlantic Canada, on the opposite side of the continent, I’d say the most common sentiment toward Americans is sympathy and toward the US government, betrayal.

I wouldn’t expect a problem vacationing in Canada. We love our American friends. We don’t like being bullied by the current administration.

It was a pleasure catching up with Cathy McKelvey, and seeing the direction her work is taking. Many of the paintings in these photos were done while listening to a single song, or piece of music.

Thanks Brandt. I enjoyed our visit.

Crampons make a walk enjoyable in conditions like this.

Safe travels

I use protonmail and the calendar but at the moment you can’t search the calendar which isn’t great. (I understand it’s coming soon)

Sure. Send me a link.

Yes. That was part of the deal. I was to paint while listening to a piece I’d never heard. I was listening to similar music. Steven mentioned that you compose. I think I suggested that he pick one. I had only done this once before the workshop but it lit me up so I knew it was something to follow.

Sorry, no video .lol. It was kind of terrifying. So fast. one piece of music.

Sorry I don’t use Whatapp

It was an exciting way to work. I plan to do more that way.

An expressive, non representational painting

We did a few exercises. I focused on my project of painting in response to music, very quickly, in order to keep the subconscious mind engaged and too fast for the logical mind. This was in response to @aimophoto.bsky.social

I’ve used the search engine for years. Last week I started using the browser too. It’s working well for me.

DuckDuckGo is working well for me.

Thank you. This is very useful information.
