It is grey and rainy in Halifax and that pretty much matches how we are all feeling. James has had a runny nose and a slight cough for about a week and Jeff and I both caught it a couple of days ago. We have been feeling pretty grey all around. Today we decided that we should get out and take a walk and get some fresh air. And then we found something to add some colour! We have been looking for a painting to remind us of our two great years in the Maritimes and we found it. It is entitled "Single Buoy" by Steven Rhude. He is a Nova Scotian artist who takes traditional Maritime iconography (such as the buoy) and juxtaposes it with non-traditional items or contexts. It is not what we thought we would be attracted to when we started looking weeks ago but we just love it. We saw it last week and have been thinking about it and when we went back today, we still loved it. So now it is ours. Here is a photo of it so you can see it too.
