storing April's art work

This post will tell a little news about two of our grown children, Grace and April.  

Grace moved to Ottawa in September and has a really sweet apartment on a tree lined street.

April is still living in the States but has a storage unit in Montreal.  It was full of her art and she needed help cleaning it out, so Ned and Grace and I met up with her in Montreal last week.

Some of April's artwork ended up at Grace's place while other pieces (not shown) came home with us.

These pieces are from April's Concordia days and are evidence of just a few of the many techniques she learned during her BFA there.
