Here’s a mural that I did for Thompson Elementary School. It was such an honour to design and create a mural that reflects the school’s motto “Think.Learn.Care.” - - - - - - - - - - - #acrylicpainting #acrylic #painting #paintings #fionatang #fionatangart #arts_help #artist_features #mural #artnet #artist #artcollective #art_conquest #fionatang #saatchiart #saatchiartist #Saatchigallery #opusartsupplies #wildlifeartist #blickartmaterials #wwfcanada #wildlifeart #emilycarrunista #wacfeature #Connect2Earth #mural #artmural (at James Thompson Elementary) https://www.instagram.com/p/CpYa56eSoCZ/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Meant to post this yesterday because of my #crosswayswednesdays series, but forgot! In any case, I started my 5 day work out plan for the @wwfcanada CN Tower climb (aka work out once 5 days before hahaha). Don’t worry, I got this! I went up these steps 34 times (53 steps each time), so the CN Tower should be a piece of cake, right? I’m also still taking donations via the link below. Donate $6 and I’ll send you a sticker!

I am so grateful for all the support and love that I’ve received. It is such a blessing to have my solo show opening on my birthday and to be able to spend it with my love ones. “Bare” is an interactive solo art show that offers a unique and intimate experience by local Artist Fiona Tang. Tang invites viewers to discover hidden animals with the use of blacklight flashlights. The show reveals a glimpse into Tang’s mental struggles in the most bare form. “Bare” invites viewers to get close and experience the artwork. At first glance, the atmosphere of each drawing seems empty, and bare but the viewers are given the key - a blacklight flashlight, to unlock what’s hidden within each drawing. Through the use of blacklight flashlights, animals emerge from the dark. These hidden animals represent Tang’s mental health condition of feeling trapped with anxiety and depression in the past year. Tang has felt robbed, invisible, and silenced by her own mental health, and the struggles are buried beneath the surface. One that struggles with mental health may look physically healthy, but are unwell inside. Tang is often known for her large scale drawings of powerful and fierce animals such as tigers, however, this show takes a different approach where the fighting animals are caged in the depths of the drawings. Come take a dive into the world of invisible. “Bare”, Nov. 3rd - Nov 28th, The Gallery at Queen’s Park. - - - - - - - - #drawing #fineart #charcoal #carandache #chalkpastel #graphite #fionatangart #fionatang #artist_features #wildlife #wwfcanada #wildlifeart #mural #trompeloeil #blacklightart #animal #artcollective #singulart #fionatang #saatchiart #Saatchigallery #opusartsupplies #wildlifeartist #invisibleink #emilycarralumni #depressionawareness #uvlight #soloshow (at The Gallery at Queen's Park) https://www.instagram.com/p/CV8kXjGhOYa/?utm_medium=tumblr

The simplicity of minimalism:

7/6 (9:45p) Thirty easy miles

Made 30 miles floating on the Thelon today credited mostly to the lack of wind. We paddled at about a 90% pace for a while in the morning with long drift breaks in between letting the current do the work. We had a floating lunch of PB&J on PB making five miles while coasting for about an hour. With more floating and minimal paddling in the afternoon...

... we totaled thirty miles on the day pushing the 300 mile mark on the trip as well as approaching the Nunvat border...

 I caught two good sized lake trout and a 34” northern on a mepps spinner and Jeremy reeled in four grayling using dry flies at the camp site—an impressive second dinner when fried up in garlic/butter/oil.

More eagle sightings today (a moose was spotted yesterday) but overall just in the same of the daily routine.

Chase and I were commenting on how we would miss the lifestyle after the trip is done.

Knowing that tomorrow is only the 20th day we still have a long time to enjoy the days left but I can’t help but think how I will miss the way we live. These relaxing (yet still rigorous physically and mentally in perspective to daily life at home) days on the Thelon showcase the wonders of trip-living. 

The simplicity of minimalism: 

...cooking over a fire, having planned meals and a daily agenda, enjoying the company of the trip companions. All is being thoroughly enjoyed on this beautiful river.

 DRC: sun, some clouds,  no wind makes for great day. Bugs not bad on water, but attacked viciously during epic 1.5 hour six fish clean. Wrists bitten badly, but must ignore initial itch and bites don’t swell or irritate: just one of the mental blockades to surpass on the trip, similar to portage mind games(mind body soul, mind-fuck, exp)
