Recipes for the feeding of a starving artist - Thanksgiving leftover loaf

Artists need to eat and Thanksgiving is in a few weeks. We all have our plans, including what to do with the leftovers.  I usually do all the cooking. We always have my sister's turkey soup from the turkey carcass. I'm always making turkey and stuffing sandwiches and sautéing everything together except for the stuffing, which I fry nice and crisp. I'm always looking for new ways to do this. Saw one that involved a waffle iron. Bread or tortillas with the leftovers inbetween. This one is a  Thanksgiving leftover loaf check it out!

Plant scupltures from the Montreal Botanical Gardens

We artistic types seek inspiration and motivation from many other genres. Seeing others practicing their art can energize ours. One FB page I get some of this is  the Architecture and Design FB page.
I previously posted some glass sculptures there and now some great plant sculptures from the Montreal Botanical Gardens. If you have not checked out the A & D FB page, please do. Some examples.

Nova Scotia Art News posts my Peggys Cove Painting

This comes under the heading of its nice to have your art work noticed!
This morning, I check my Twitter feed and this is the first thing I see

Nova Scotia Arts News is out! http://paper.li/Shawnamac_/1370177107 … Stories via @MattMinglewood @902allydee @JackMckenzieArt

 

Interesting! I  click on the link and there's my blog post about my Peggy's Cove on this on-line "newspaper" put out by Photographer Shawna Mac (also noticed grammatical error or two in my post). She has used the Paper.li site to create a series of art "newspapers" for Newfoundland Ontario Paris  and London plus a Digital Arts newspaper. I am now following her on her Shawnamac_ twitter page and suggest you do too and maybe check out this Paper.li site, too.

Art based Halloween costumes - Starry Night and more

People who seriously dress up for Halloween use anything for inspiration. I love watching the Kelly and Michael Show's Halloween show ( the tradition going back to when it was just the Regis show) with some really creative and wild get-ups.
Many art based costumes are popping up everywhere, on Facebook, Pinterest, etc.   Here are a few I've found. Enjoy and maybe this will inspire you!

New painting: Peggy's Cove - Nova Scotia.

I done several paintings of Peggy's Cove in the past, and here's another one. Peggy's Cove is the basic Nova Scotia fishing village that had become a mecca for artists. Check out Peggys-Cove-Area-Festival-of-the-Arts FB page The lighthouse and the harbor have been painted many times and I'm adding one more. As usual I'm offering a mug via Zazzle with this image on is

 

 

artist spotlight: Layered Glass Sculptures By Ben Young

I saw this on the Architecture and Design FB page. They always show the work of various artist in many genres. I really enjoyed this one. Layered Glass sculptures by New Zealand's Ben Young. A surfer and boat builder by trade, the beauty of the ocean and waves inspired him to begin sculpting. Check out his site and enjoy some of his work

My painting is cover photo on The Artistic Blog FB page

The The Artistic Blog Facebook page is using paintings of people who are regular visitors to their page as their cover photo for a week. They asked all who wanted to appear to email several paintings we would want seen and they'd pick one. I got an email telling me my Hilton Head Sunrise painting (which I painted from a photo by a friend Tammy Ingis)  was their cover page for the week (I'd post that, but I seem to have deleted it :-( ). It went up Sunday and should be there the rest of the week (most likely 10/10/14)
Here's the painting

and here's the caption that went along with it
