I Am 🇨🇦
@mckenziebonniem.bsky.social
I am Canadian. I am a humanist. I believe in social democracy. I want to travel the world. I paint rocks, take photos, paint in watercolour (beginner), love all animals especially cats and humpback whales. Zero tolerance for racists and stupidity.
Decided to make my own Christmas cards this year. This beginner is keeping it simple.

Latte anyone?
Haven't been painting nearly as much as I should. Kind of enjoyed this one.

Gladiolus in mid-october? Yes. Long story short, rabbits devoured to the stump. Realized they would never grow so planted three new bulbs early august, put chicken wire around them and voila! Had to cut them which I never do because of the frost we had. Best part is, I bought the bulbs at Dollarama.

Rainy Day painting done on a rainy day a few weeks ago. It has been almost 6 months since I started to paint with watercolour. Some days I feel like I am improving and then other days I ask myself why I keep doing this.

Presenting the Canada Goose, aka the Cobra Chicken, on guard for thee. Staging has begun and the numbers increase daily as they prepare for the trip south. They deserve respect and a wide berth. Remember to watch where you step. They shit like crazy.

The weekend was hot and beautiful. I had two Hummers busy at the feeder all weekend. No males. I think they're gone already. I'm sure after the weather we're going to have this week that the females will be gone too. So, until next year, have a safe journey south.

Trying people. #2&3 were vintage photos. 4 months. A lot of subjects I like and several I don't. The water and leaf struggle is real. 😵💫

First attempt at an animal. I look at paintings of cats and dogs or other animals and they look so realistic and then I look at this and think boy I have a long way to go. 😂

People need to post the facts. The grand staircase is not hidden. But it is out of sight from visitors

Street scenes are a favourite. Loose figures painted from a friend ends photograph. I plan to redo that one in a few months after more on practice, and I will use a higher grade paper when I do.

Now 4 months. As a learner, I continue trying various subjects and genres. I like whimsical. I really love loose figures and plan to explore that more. I love flowers and I hope I will learn to love painting them. Loose or structured.
