Tulips - 2016

After I left Crop and Create, I didn't go straight home but spent some time at my Mom's.  While there, I finished up the 2 layouts I hadn't completed.

Man with Two Hats - 2016

Done at Crop and Create.

This is the statue that is situated in my home town of Ottawa, Canada.

In the City of Apeldoorn (the Netherlands), The Man With Two Hats monument symbolizes many dualities. The two hats in and of themselves represent a time when to come through the war with one hat was something of a feat. It represents the end of the horrors of war but in the same vein the peace and freedom that continue to elude many countries today. It symbolizes the two countries of Canada and the Netherlands. The outstretched arms symbolize the liberation of the Netherlands and also the reaching out of country to country, people to people. The visage, one of sadness and deep meditation and also one of serenity and peace. With the donation of this monument, the Netherlands pays a lasting tribute to Canada. A statue identical to this one stands in Ottawa, Ontario. The twin monuments symbolically link Canada and the Netherlands, forever close friends.
