Her Steady Horizon

Jill T. Cooper, my daughter, finally finished Her Steady Horizon. This triptych depicts a woman's journey through the changing waters towards an unknown future.  You can see Jill's paintings at KEW, Dartmouth, Nova Scotia.

2014 Winter Olympics, Sochi, Russia

The "patchwork quilt" is the concept design for the 2014 Winter Olympics to be held in Sochi, Russia. The design was created from motifs of ornaments of the most famous Russian national crafts.
One such craft is Gzhel Ceramics, a pottery made of burnt white clay, covered with painted glaze. This pottery is traditionally blue on white. (see photo below)
