Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour 3

Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour 1
Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour 2
Crown and Pumpkin Art Tour  was on Thanksgiving Monday, Oct. 8.

Here is the next part of the tour. Such an interesting house, built on a rock. These are right in the town.





This is an amazing location, about 7 km west of town. Auni Milne creates amazing art, as well as graphic design.
Welcome to Sumack Loft, the graphic design studio of Auni Milne, located on the outskirts of Ottawa, Ontario
I bought a set of three prints, individually mounted on wood, to hang not-sure-where, yet! Auni printed them on remnants from their old house.

They have a story. Auni and her wife were renovating, they weren't satisfied with the workmanship, and fired them. The pair brought in another company to renovate and, prior to documenting the shoddy work, their house burned down. They suspect arson, but had no proof. They rebuilt. It's an amazing house.


This is their chandelier!


As with many of the tour locations, there were several artists showing in the house. This artist is Liam Kelly. JB bought this for himself for his birthday, which is in November. He is notoriously difficult to buy for. Now we're good!

Liam is a student of philosophy and esoterics at Carleton.

Liam asked for a photo of it on the wall!



Down on to Floating Bridge Rd! This is a coffee company. They grind it on site. This is where it poured rain!

Lots of pumpkins, beautiful art pieces, and those solar panels, great size. You have some beautiful homes to visit, and with other artists there, a bonus to view even more goodies. Well done JB, getting in early is a grand idea.

Good photo the one with your hubby, Liam the artist, and the piece of art bought as a birthday present! May you all enjoy the purchase!

What particularly draws my eye is the diamond window on the first place.

So many wonderful things to see. I’m glad your hubby got a painting he liked. My husband is awful to buy for too.

Lovely to see and read your post.
A great tour.

I love pumpkins, they are such a brilliant, warming colour … and they are good in recipes too :)
The grandchildren are looking forward to choosing their pumpkins at a local farm …
Halloween will soon be upon us

All the best Jan
