OUR LAST SHOW

11/20/2013

A great show with Calgary Abstract Collective on Nov 17th !  We had the Rosemont Community Center and had the hall filled to capacity with paintings.  Our morning started out slow but by 1pm, the day was beautiful and many people came in.   I was able to sell 3 paintings,  I think Vanessa also did and Marie sold something like 6 or more.   Some paintings were small but, hey, everyone thought it was great to find homes for them and we had many happy purchasers.  

I was also able to talk to 2 people about possible commissions. So looking forward to that.

Watch for more upcoming shows in the future.

OCTOBER

October - Always a busy month for us !!

Moms Birthday, Thanksgiving, other occasions, fall colours and warm sunny fall days !

Love it all!

Ron & I left for Palm Springs on Oct 18th - Nov 1.  It was the best time. Temps of 91F & 94F during our 1st full week.   Then reduced to 87F & 88F during the 2nd week,  with one day of a cold front coming in !  Weather  forecasters telling the temps would go down to 76 or 78F.  HEY, they maybe thought it was cold  but very pleasant for us !   

As a result - I didnt get much painting done in October.   Just too busy with other things. 

I hope to get back into it very soon !

    I am an artist. I have taken numerous classes and workshops since 2004 as shown under About in my CV. I work out of  my home. When painting on canvas, I often loose track of all time. I am alone and quiet, peaceful and excited, ambitious and energetic.  I am in place between body and mind - my hands doing something that my mind makes them do and ultimately - another painting !

    I love what I am able to do and
    I look forward to you following me on this journey !

    Initially my plan will be to post a few times a week and change as time permits.
