The sky is pink and peach behind a row of evergreens at McMichael Gallery, Kleinburg. The trees cast violet shadows on the pink snow in front of them.

I acutely studied spirituality, saints, gifts, metaphysics, religion, crystals, witchcraft, psychic phenomena, Tai Chi, & Reiki. I worked at a GTA crystal shop, The Rock Shop of Kleinburg, for 14 years as their resident Crystal & Reiki Grandmaster. I frequently lived at the Taoist monastery.

I wish the Art Canada Institute posted to BlueSky!

Today, we celebrate the birthday of Cree artist Carl Ray (1943-1978), whose x-ray aesthetic can be found in works like “Spirit Fish,” 1975.

"Eostre" is the pagan goddess of springtime and fertility, whose name is believed to be the origin of the word "Easter". Eostre was celebrated during the spring equinox and was associated with the month of April, which was called "Ēosturmōnaþ" in Old English.

My fear is that the valuable #Kleinburg land would be sold to developers, the same ones with deep pockets that got dirty #DougFord elected!

Just heard #McMichaelGallery in Kleinburg is closing for three years under the guise of renovations for improvement, my heart sank. Is it possible this is another #DougFord #ScienceCentre or #OntarioPlace fiasco in the works?
Anyone have details? @lizrenzetti.bsky.social

“Marguerite Pilot of Deep River (Girl with Mulleins)” by Yvonne McKague Housser (Canadian) - Oil on canvas / c. 1936–40 - McMichael Canadian Art Collection (Kleinburg, Ontario) #WomenInArt #WomensArt #WomanArtist #YvonneMcKagueHousser #Housser #McMichaelCanadianArtCollection #WomenPaintingWomen
Marguerite Pilot was an Indigenous woman from Deep River, Ontario. She sits outdoors as if in thought with quiet authority and her presence honored not as a type or symbol, but as a person held in her own dignity and story. Canadian artist Yvonne McKague Housser’s modernist handling using simplified planes, restrained outlines, and carefully balanced color lets background landscape function less as “scenery” than as emotional weather. The young Marguerite is shown from the waist up, set outdoors against a wide, pale lake and layered blue-green mountains. She has medium-brown skin, straight black hair cut to the shoulders with a neat side part, and dark eyes sharing a steady, guarded calm. She wears a sleeveless, sunlight yellow dress that catches soft light, its brushwork visible in thin, chalky strokes. Her arms fold across her torso, one forearm angled up, the other resting low, creating a closed, protective shape that also feels like self-possession. On her left hand is a small turquoise ring. To the left, tall mullein stalks rise like candles, their yellow blooms and broad leaves painted in thick, emphatic greens. Dark conifer silhouettes punctuate the shoreline as rolling gray clouds press down, making the blues of the hills feel deeper and Marguerite’s presence more immediate. Her crossed arms and direct gaze hold a tension between being looked at and looking back, as if she is deciding how much of herself to yield to the portrait. Mullein, a hardy plant long associated with folk remedies and roadside endurance, becomes an eloquent companion because it signals healing, resilience, and a kind of stubborn persistence in place. Painted between 1936-1940, when Housser was an established teacher and a founding member of the Canadian Group of Painters including taking sketching trips and, in 1939, traveling to Taos to study dynamic symmetry, this portrait carries the confidence of a mature artist and the complexity of a subject who will not be sentimentalized.

K, who does this look like to you?!
This is known as Pareidolia - seeing something that your brain tells your eyes looks like something else other than what it is.
Funny enough, shot Easter weekend 2014 in the forest trails behind the McMichael Gallery in Kleinburg. Wonder if he's till there!
