We are continuing with our Fill in the Blanks series, which introduces Record readers to a variety of interesting folks from the arts and entertainment scene. Each subject fills out a short questionnaire, "filling in the blanks" to let us know more about themselves.
This week, we feature Solveig Brickenden.
1. I am Solveig Brickenden.
2. I spend my time working out, painting, book club and working with seniors.
3. Right now I am working on a series of paintings entitled "Be impeccable with your word."
4. The book on my bedside table right now is Hemingway' s A Moveable Feast.
5. Three songs you'll find on my IPod playlist are Patricia Kass Mon Homme, Beth Hart /Joe Bonamassa I'll take care of you, Diana Krall, Charmed Life.
6. One work of art that inspires me is Vermeer's Girl with a Pearl Earring because of its depiction of the softness of light.
7. One artist who inspires me is Ross Penhall because his paintings reflect a contemporization of the work by the old masters.
8. My idea of a perfect day is lazing in bed with a great book followed by a long lunch by the water in the company of my sweetheart (husband) Dal.
9. My favourite edible (or potable) treat is Veuve Clicquot!
10. My guilty pleasure is chocolate covered caramels with sea salt.
11. My favourite vacation spot is a house on Salt Spring Island
12. My favourite thing about New Westminster is its fabulous vistas .... sunrises behind the mountains and sunsets on the river.
13. If I could sit down for coffee with anyone at all, I would choose C.S Lewis.
14. If I could live anywhere at any point in time, I would choose Rome.
15. If I could have a superpower, my superpower would be a healing touch.
