Lee Krasner and Jackson Pollock
When my high school boyfriend was accepted at the Ontario College of Art I went with him to Toronto and during the next few years I learned how to look at art. I wasn’t particularly drawn to Jackson Pollock’s work (I preferred Lee Krasner) but I admired his passion and his deep commitment to his art. I’m disappointed that the current political climate in the US will keep me from seeing the actual show but have consoled myself by taking this video tour of the Krasner and Pollock: Past Continuous exhibition.
Big Canoe
Yesterday I caught a glimpse of the 52 year old MV Chi-Cheemaun coming down the Welland Canal from Port Colborne headed to Hamilton for dry dock and its 5-year inspection. There were lots of spectators watching the iconic ferry make its way through the locks in Thorold and St. Catharines. The name means "big canoe" in Ojibwe.

He’s a Big Fan
Appalling but hilarious.
Wait until the end, he kills it!
