| Rocket Man in Halifax | | 2008-07-15 07:57:20 | | Well, Elton John is coming to Halifax on Sept. 26 and 27 and judging by the other hot acts that have been here tickets to see the “Rocking’ Knight” will be sold in minutes. In fact, the concert in Regina sold out in 4 minutes.
I saw EJ in 1973 at the Pacific Colisseum in Vancouver. [...]... | | By: Music Before the Money | | |
| | Solo Show at Toulany's Lunchbox -- Halifax, Nova Scotia | | 2008-03-06 17:36:21 | | Tonight, I dropped off nine paintings at Toulany's Lunchbox, 3081 Gottengin Street (next to the Hydrostone Market). The Toulany family has served our community from this location for more than 30-years -- a true landmark in Halifax if ever there was one. The young Bash Toulany has taken over the reins and has revamped this outlet and their food is great, as always. I'm absolutely thrilled to have my paintings displayed here and thank Bash and family and the customers at Toulany's Lunchbox for supporting the arts by allowing local artists, like myself, to display and sell work there. The following are the pieces that are currently available at Toulany's Lunchbox, if you are interested in viewing them and purchasing, please visit Toulany's Lunchbox.

| | The Halifax Town Crier -- a watercolour study | | 2008-03-03 14:40:35 | | Watercolour study of Peter Cox -- Halifax's Town CrierPeter Cox is Halifax's town crier and a charming person. I interviewed him a number of years ago for Halifax This Week. I remember how fun he was to talk with and the beautiful Wedgwood figurine that was modeled after him in his uniform. Recently, I ran across an image of him I had taken at a Natal Day Parade a few years ago and did the watercolour study of him on the left.... | | By: MaryAnn.ca | | |

| Plein air painting in downtown Halifax -- or, March: in like a lion, out like a lamb | | 2008-03-01 18:40:04 | | After dropping off another painting at Uncommon Grounds this morning (show extended to the end of March) we headed out to paint. But the c-c-c-old fog drifted in just before today's storm and we cut out a bit early. (It was odd having snow blow in on the painting). We found a great spot though and if it wasn't for the wind and the coldness (and, oh yeah, the blowing snow) it would have been great -- we were in a car parkade overlooking a section of the city's downtown. It was like having the world all to ourselves. People bustling about below us on the streets were oblivious to us and not another soul showed up to look over our shoulder as we painted.... | | By: MaryAnn.ca | | |

| | The Great Offshore Picnic - George’s Island, Halifax | | 2008-02-03 17:54:27 | | For over 200 years George’s Island was a bastion of defense for not only Halifax harbour but the British presence in North America. Before 1763 the cannons on the small island were primed for the French. Then in 1775, they were prepared for an attack from a former brother, The United States.
Not only were their [...]... | | By: White Point Manor Weblog | | |

| Denny Doherty - A Guy From Halifax | | 2008-02-02 21:09:33 | | “One day a gypsy woman read my mother’s tea leaves and said:
‘You’re going to have two sons. Tell your second son to build his house on wheels,’ and that was me. The only one that ever left home.”
