A Night to remember!
Ok I am a Really Big Fan of Elton John's and have been for years and will continue.
It was announced in April that he was coming and thankfully a friend was able to score a
couple tickets for me as I was on the road at the time.They sold out in 2 hours or less so
thanks Elain. He was everything and so much much more in his concert here with us at the
CN Centre just over 6,500 people there but it felt intimate.He has set the standard for any further entertainers coming here for sure.Elton laid it all out for us..no holding back.Can that guy rock or what!!Thank You for taking the chance on us...you have made us complete!! Rocket Man ..you rock It!!

Studying Painting in Quebec with the Simones

What a wonderful experience to be with people who are so inspiring not only by their imagery but by themselves as human beings.

My Parents immigrated from Ireland and met in Prince George BC Canada in 1957.They lived together for 51 years until May22,2010 when my Dad, Bill Hughes, passed away in his sleep in hospital. He had kidney failure. Dad lived a very full and loving life. My parents travelled the world expanding their circle of love of people.This video clip was from a recently found 16mm that had been transferred to DVD..and warms my heart to see.It was before they were married..so about 1958 up in the cold North...here PG!

We celebrate his life today with all my siblings & friends either here in Chemainus or in their thoughts around the world. Another celebration of his life will be Wednesday, June 2 at Domano Chapel at the Domano Renewal Centre at 7pm.

Peds Project at Hospital is Up

http://www.ckpg.com/news/9875-pediatric-photos-video.html

It took a year from start to finish but it is now up on the 2nd floor of the local hospital
in Prince George now called the University Hospital. I was asked to create a friendly home like atmosphere with images depicting children of all ages to hang in the entrance way to the Peds floor. One side shows children at different ages and their activities from a 3 week newborn to teens with their electronic toys hanging together.The other wall has two large canvases with the "bums" of 8 babies then 7 sitting babies in diapers along with some single/double images.
This took alot of effort from alot of people so thanks to all of you...and thanks Sandra Wyatt for asking me to do it in the first place. What is next?????
