Hello Dear Art Lover and dog lover (I’m sure)

Such fun!!

Have you ever been a dog stalker? When I was doing my ‘Walking the Dog’ series, I would take photos of people walking their dogs. I felt like I was in a spy movie. If necessary I would ask the pet’s owner for permission. This collection has proven to be very popular. This year I’ve created cards and prints with these images and I do have a few original 12 x 12’s left. I also do commissions and could have them ready for your gift giving.

If you’d like to share your appreciation of the weird and wonderful mind of Gail Williams via her art, I have just the thing. Framed prints for only $65.00 or 2 for $120.00. Below you will find a few photos of some of my most admired paintings in print form. Please excuse the background of 2 of the images here. I think I need another tutorial on how to remove the background :)

Check my website and if you see something there and wonder if I have a print of it, just ask.

Don’t forget that I have my ‘Magnificent Women’ 2024 calendar available too. The pages can be cut out and framed if that suits you.What a bargain! 12 images for $25.00.

I look forward to greeting you this WE at the Karen Franzen and Friends holiday show at 3 Wembley Dr, on Fri, 6-9, or Sat and Sun 10-5. You can have some Christmas cheer in her studio under the trees and the chance to win free art. At this show, you’ll find Karen’s wonderful ceramics, Margaret’s cozy knitted and felted accessories, Lisa’s stunning silver jewellery, Sunny’s adorable home decor and my original paintings, as well as cards and prints.

Hello Dear Art Lover

HOT DEAL OF THE SUMMER

It’s been a hot time in the city hasn’t it? I hope you’re able to get outta Dodge some time soon. I’ve not missed one summer in northern Ontario except for the Covid year. Of course I realize that Thunder Bay might not be on the top of your list for vacation, but different strokes for different folks! What’s not to like about clear skies, sunny days and cool nights, and the majestic views of Lake Superior. This year I get to play in the waves with Fox and Theo and Ingrie and Joanna. How much fun that will be!

This is my second last newsletter til September so I thought I’d have a SPECIAL OFFER on one of my most recent paintings. If you’ve seen my IG postings you might recall a painting that I’ve added a painted ‘frame’ to. It had been called ‘The Protector’ but it’s been changed. An IG friend sent me her take on the painting which prompted me to recall an ‘adorable grandson’ story.

Joanna and her boys lived in a 2 storey apartment. One day she heard an almighty crash coming from upstairs. A little voice calls down ‘Nothing Happening Here’ You can see where this is going can’t you?

Here’s the deal. If you’d like to see ‘Nothing Happening Here’ on your wall and order it by July 31, I am offering it at a huge discount. Instead of $2500, it will be $2000.00 You can even put it on layaway. Free delivery in the GTA. It is 36 x 36 in, acrylic, gallery wrapped. ready to hang.

FIRST COME FIRST SERVED !

Thanks so much for your interest. Enjoy the heat!

Hello Dear Art Lover

START THE CAR !!

I’m changing things up over here at Living Artfully with Gail.

Going forward, one week, I’ll be sending you a few photos of available art and the alternate week will be a more info-filled communication.

This week, I’m offering reduced prices on some older work. I don’t have a lot of room for storage and my work has changed considerably over the recent past. I’d much rather have my art in a happy home than sitting in storage.

Here are two paintings that I still love and am proud of. I’m also including a photo of one of my paintings in a client’s home.

Hello Dear Art Lover   

START THE CAR!!!

Isn't this weather just a little crazy?! I know you don't want me to say it, but...just a little tiny bit of snow wouldn't be that bad would it? Just enough to get everyone in the mood for the holidays. But before I go ahead and get all excited about what is coming up for the Christmas season, I really must take a pause to show respect on Remembrance Day. Even with all our political noise, I think we're very fortunate to live in this country. My dad was one of those young men who lied about their age to join the navy in WW2. Him and his best buddy, also named Bill, were on convoy duty accompanying bigger ships across the Atlantic. Thanks Bills.

My Grandma bought a camp (cottage to the southerners here) on Lake Superior in the 1930's. Imagine a drafty cabin, no electricity, no indoor plumbing. Anyways..it's been the scene of many a good time for almost a century. We have a 'camp' book, a guest book, that has been filled down through the years, with notes of appreciation from friends and relatives, drawings from grandkids and stories of crazy antics. We're a large family so we do have quite a few tales.

When my Mom was the owner, my Dad wrote a romantic letter to her about his adoration . My Dad died when he was 57, my Mom at 92. She didn't discover that love note until many years afterwards. My Dad, ever the trickster, put it near the end of the book. I've read that book many times and it always makes me tear up.

When I finished the painting you see here, it just had to be called 'Love You Forever'. And when I was deciding on what would be the focus of this year's ' Small Works', I knew it had to be my 'Love You Forever' series.

SAVE THE DATE ... SMALL WORKS
ADVANCE RELEASE TO VIPs … that's YOU

This year's Small Works will be open to you, my VIPs, at thespecial discountprice of $270 startingNov 22 - Nov 25. On Nov 26, the price goes up to $300 when they are available to the general public. I'll be posting photos so you can choose. I'll only have 9 and one has sold already. Here's a teaser to let you in on what to expect.

You could get your 'Love You Forever' original painting at our Gifts for the Soul holiday market on Nov 26, 9:30 - 4 pm, 450 Broadview Ave, (north of Gerrard St E). If you order ahead the price is $270. They are 11x 14, acrylic on paper, matted in a standard size, ready for framing.

Perhaps you'll see something else that you just have to have. There will be a fantastic choice of pottery, paintings, jewellery, wearable art, fibre art, notebooks and boxes made from recycled materials, and glassware. I can't wait to see what our creative team is bringing to the table. And of course, the weather will be perfect

You know I love to get letters from you! Steve sent this fun story a few weeks ago. It's a wild world out there folks.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-11366321/Mondrian-painting-hanging-UPSIDE-different-galleries-75-years.html

Thanks for reading and for supporting my art adventures. You ARE the wind beneath my wings. You might see one of the many signs Dorothy and I planted in Riverdale. Thanks to all the folks who are helping to advertise our Gifts for the Soul Holiday Market 2022.

Hello Dear Art Lover          

From My Heart to Your's

You may not realize how much I truly appreciate your support. My Super Sale was such a success. Thanks for adding my art to your home. Thanks for telling your friends about my art. Thanks for bringing your friends and family to my art shows. Thanks for reading this letter and for keeping in touch. I value all of it...truly, madly, deeply.

Yesterday, I found some of my life drawing sketches that I had done back in 1967/8. That bundle of charcoal drawings brought up a load of memories. I'd come down from Port Arthur, as Thunder Bay was then called, to study radiation therapy at Princess Margaret Hospital. NOT my first choice of study. When I received the rejection from art school, my dad was relieved. Now I could find a 'real job' . But that did not deter me from taking art classes at night school. Of course that fork in the road has led to a rich life, not the least of which is the meeting of my future husband. Thanks toBarb Jappfor talking me into joining a choir.

However, I digress. As usual. Or maybe not. I did discover that I love physics and that curiosity about how things work has taken over in my art work. I love to experiment and see what happens . For example, this week I painted over a canvas with black paint and then wiped it off and sanded it down with steel wool. That one is still in progress and may never be shown, but it taught me a few things. If you'd like details, please ask. Or try it yourself.

You know I think you are a creative being. Maybe not in the traditional sense, but creative nonetheless. This week I'm recommending a darling book by Ron Walker called 'The Art of Noticing'. It's all about paying attention to what you pay attention to. Yesterday, on my walk, I was looking for orange things. Today it's about finding the spaces around objects. Or maybe, finding security cameras. My neighbour was looking for discarded masks. I'd be interested in knowing what you might focus on. Please send me your ideas.

Last week, I finished a painting that combines several of my influences. Klimt, Rousseau, Marimekko. I've called it 'The Imaginary Menagerie' which is the painting on the top left of the attached images. As a result, I realized that I have created a Menagerie series already. I'm adding some paintings that fit the category. They are all for sale and could be in your home tomorrow. Please share them with a friend. You could take one home for a trial. Visit my studio or ask me to send an image you may have missed.

SAVE THE DATE !!

HOLIDAY ART SHOW

SUNDAY, DEC 5, 11-4, 7 Labatt Ave.

Who knows if I will be allowed to have a holiday show, but I have decided that I will set the date anyway. Stay tuned for updates.

2021-32 Living Artfully

Hello Dear Art Lover            

My Apologies 

Please accept my apologies as I rescind my offer of doing pet portraits in a 30 Pets in 30 Days challenge. I realized that although I love animals and I know how important they are to their humans, my heart is just not in it. It would be doing an injustice to not be able to give my best to you and your beloved friend. Perhaps in the future I would try again. In the meantime, I apologize to those who have sent me some photos.

And now for some good news. Our studio lease has been extended til March 2022. We've had a long run, especially when we were told about 5 years ago that the hammer would be dropped at any time. We are all doing the happy dance at 7 Labatt.

More good news. My painting ' A Horse With No Name' will be featured at the Leslie Grove gallery's newest show ' Inspired By The Arts' Nov 10-28. The opening is next Thursday, Nov 11, 6pm -8pm. I invite you to be my guest. The gallery is at 1158 Queen St E, just east of Jones Ave on the north side. ww.lesliegrovegallery.ca

Thanks so much for the book recommendations. Chris told me about 'The Immortal Life of Henrietta Lacks' which is so fascinating. I actually read that one a few years ago. She also recommended 'The Widows' by Jess Montgomery. I just finished an excellent read myself 'We Begin at the End' by Chris Whitaker.

The following excerpt is from Austin Kleon's newsletter. I started reading the Twitter thread too and found it very interesting. Perhaps you've come across something similar. I'd love to hear about it.

Bewilderingly, I have been totally sucked into the Dune hype. I loved Helen Macdonald’s profile of director Denis Villeneuve, which led me to watching David Lynch’s Dune (and this interview) and even picking up the novel. (We’ll see how far I get.) Perhaps the best thing I’ve read is this twitter thread about author Frank Herbert’s real-life inspiration.

You've often heard me talk about my fabulous Essentrics instructor Sheri. This week she sent me a link to a wonderful video that features drumming. Take a peek and see if your'e not tapping and clapping along like I was. You can check out Sheri. www.sheriessentrics.com

MOVE WELL, GET STRONG and FEEL FABULOUS!

This musical production was part of the special opening to the UN General Assembly meeting in September 2021 to commemorate the 20th anniversary of the adoption of the Durban Declaration, which is considered a milestone in the global fight against racism.

I loved this video and I hope you will enjoy it. Here's the link: https://bit.ly/3k4vHY

The SUPER SALE continues til Nov 7. Please call for a private studio visit to choose your favourite at a bargain price. I've added a few of the Ghost series here that are still up for grabs. My 'Ghost' series paintings were inspired by a cross Canada trip a few years ago. We saw much evidence of forest fires, but the thing that really inspired me was the knowledge that in the aftermath, the ash regenerates the soil. So there is actually a sign of hope. Perhaps also a metaphor for other 'fires' in our culture. I've also been reminded that those delicious morels grow well in the soil of the destroyed trees. Thanks Hilja.

The paintings I'm showing here are 'Ghosts in the Mist', on the left and 'Spectral Orchestra' on the right. Please schedule a studio visit to see these beauties in all their glory.

Once again, I thank you for your continued support. You rock!

Hello Dear Art Lover          

Did I plant an ear worm?

Hope you are doing well and have your costume ready! I know there will be a robot (Fox) and a ghost (Theo) on the loose on Sunday. At least that is what they are saying at the moment. But from past experience, I know they could change their mind at the last minute, which could result in a meltdown. The excitement is just too much to bear. Do you remember your favourite costume? There were a lot of gypsies and ghosts back in the day before store bought costumes. I really can't imagine how my mother managed with 8 kids to dress up.

A few weeks ago, I wrote about mixing up the night time reading. Currently, I have 'Leonardo's Brain' by Leonard Shlain and a crime novel b yAnne Holt on the go. Leonardo was a magnificent genius in art and science. Maybe I'll learn some tips on how to tap into my own genius. Anne Holt is a newly discovered (for me) Norwegian crime novelist. She's very prolific and as dark as they come (psychically speaking) I do love a deep and dark Scandi novel. Her novels would make a good Netflix series. It's all going on the compost pile to make up the rich soil of my imagination.

I'd love to know what your'e reading these days. And watching on the flix too. I'm catching up on the last series of 'This is Us' and indulging my inner teenager with 'How to Sell Drugs Online, Fast'

The talented Theresa sent me this newsletter. They have an amazing drawing tool called an etchr mirror. Check it out. Maybe it will inspire you to pick up a pencil. Check it out at www.etchrstudio.com. You might have noticed that I refer to Austin Kleon quite often. I could spend hours checking out what he's into every week. It's kind of mind boggling how busy he is. As a result, I've ordered a book he recommended by Rob Walker, 'The Art of Noticing'. I can't wait to see what ideas are sparked.

Last week I announced the Super Sale to my Facebook and Instagram followers. Please check it out to see what is left. I'm doing some videos as well to talk about some of the paintings. If you've had your eye on a certain artwork, now might be the time for it to find it's new home.Bargainprices from $99 to $499! Of course you can always book a visit to touch the merchandise. (lol)

This week I finished a painting that I am just loving. It's 36 in x 24 in, mixed media on canvas. The title is ' Aren't You a Little Beauty?' It's attached here for your viewing pleasure. I've used a room app to give you an idea of sizing.

Now...I just know your'e singing along and wondering why. In November, I'm starting a new series of portraits of pets.30 PETS IN 30 DAYS. How exciting is that? Please send me a photo of your pet and perhaps a line about their personality or quirks. I'll do a mixed media portrait on paper. You can purchase it if you like for $99. Just in time for some gift giving. I can't wait to see what shows up in the 'mailbox'.

Til next time, thanks again for your support and feedback.

Did you see it?

Hey there!!! Did you see that moon? It was amazingly awesome and ginormous ( it's a word..honest ) I'm not usually out after 6 these days, but I was taking my boys home just in time for bed and was lucky enough to be able to catch that beauty while it was low on the horizon. Fox informed me that it was the Hunter Moon. He's right of course. The sky was so clear that apparently if I'd gone out later, I could have seen more stars as well. Thanks to Len, here are more wonderful moon images.

Canada Playing with The Moon - YouTube

If you've looked on my Instagram and Facebook account, you've seen that my nephew, Bill, and I have finished a collaboration that we've been working on for a while. He added the final touch with a poem that eloquently completes the picture. If you would like to see it in person, I invite you for a private studio tour. Bill and I really get each other and it is evident that we are evolved from the same warped mind set. I hope I see more of this kind of working together in the future.

The following quote is from the author Ann Patchett talking about writing. Insert 'artist' and you'll see why I include it today.

'You will take bits from books you’ve read and movies you’ve seen and conversations you’ve had and stories friends have told you, and half the time you won’t even realize you’re doing it. I am a compost heap, and everything I interact with, every experience I’ve had, gets shoveled onto the heap where it eventually mulches down, is digested and excreted by worms, and rots. It’s from that rich, dark humus, the combination of what you encountered, what you know and what you’ve forgotten, that ideas start to grow.'

What appears on my canvas is exactly that..a combination of so much input that is buried under layers upon layers upon layers. Most of the time, I have no conscious idea of where my ideas come from. I am learning to honour them when they show up.

The Super Sale continues. Today I've attached some photos from my $100.00 sale bin. The lovely landscapes are mixed media and acrylic, 30 x 15 in and ready to hang on your wall. 'Mask' is also $100.00, mixed media and acrylic, 12 x 12in, ready to hang. You are invited to see these pieces either at my studio, or I can bring them to you. Studio tours are my specialty.

As ever, I truly appreciate your support of my small business. Thank you.

Hello Dear Art Lover        

IT'S ART OF COURSE

This quote is from Leonard Shlain's book 'Art and Physics' I take no credit for it at all except to say that this is where my head is at this week.

'Serendipitously, I discovered a way to heighten my creativity. My habit was to read a popular physics book late at night until the snooze gremlin nudged me with the signal that it was time to call it a day. Prior to falling asleep the following night, my mind relatively empty, I leafed through art books. The next morning, I would often connect images I had seen the night before with concepts in physics contained in my previous night’s reading. Something mysterious happens in the creative process during dreamtime, and I am an avid proponent of the school that advocates, “sleeping on it.”'

Now I'm not saying I'm going to read physics books before I nod off, but it was only as an adult that I discovered that I love physics. I'm basically a very nosy person. Being curious and willing to experiment has led me to have so much fun in the studio. I also love to read and I often have several books on the go at the same time. Mostly a non-fiction and fiction, now that I think about it.

Perhaps you can share an interesting scientific fact with me. I'm probably not the only one who didn't know what a non-Newtonian fluid is. Thanks to my 7 year old grandson Fox, I do now.

Thanks to Deb for sending me art news this week. I went down rabbit hole at the McMichael collection. www.mcmichael.com to investigate their current exhibition Canadian Women Artists and then totally lost it in their talk about Denyse Thomas is, a Trinidadian Canadian artist who blew my mind with her vision. I'm going to book my visit right away.

Have you ever seen the Winsor and Newton site? They make all sorts of wonderful paints etc. Theresa sends me their newsletter and it's full of fascinating information. This week, I was drooling about their participation with the Chelsea Flower Show in London. How have Dorothy and I missed putting this on the list?! Check it out www.winsornewton.com.

The Super Sale continues. Book your private studio tour to find the piece of art you've been looking for. Great bargains!

Today I've got a few paintings from my Super Sale to share. The beauty on the left is 'Long Ago and Far Away'. I had a feeling of hot air balloons as it was finished. Does it give you that vibe? The other one is 'Light Within Shadows', which I created with my unique process of pouring paint within the space between the canvas and it's cello wrapping. BTW, I'll be announcing my teaching of this technique very shortly.

Also please check out the current show at the Leslie Grove Gallery that is run by the Artist Network. Beautiful landscapes of Lisa, Donna and Galit are hanging on the walls. Follow them on Instagram @donna.chudnow, @galit_painter and @lisalitowitzart

That's it for now. Please know that I truly appreciate your support of my small business.

Hello Dear Art Lover    

My Heart is Full

Can you believe we have once again arrived at another Thanksgiving? I've been thinking of what a blessed life I've led and I hope you feel the same. Our lives may not have been totally free of hardships and mistakes, but I know mine could have been much worse. My family is an abundance of laughter and crazy stories. I come by the wackiness honestly.

Last week was one of the most fun weeks this year.

My friend Lisa came by for her studio visit because she'd seen a painting that she thought would look good over her fireplace. However, it was not the right one and she chose 2 others. Two of my favourites. 'One Sweetly Warm Day Following Another' is above her bed to brighten up her morning and 'Beethoven Contemplates iPhone' ended up over the fireplace. Lisa graciously invited me to her home to help with her extensive Canadian art collection. I think she might need to get a bigger house. Quel probleme!

Dorothy (my partner in crimes) and I spent a lovely time at Bau_Xi gallery (across from the AGO) in conversation with one of my art heroes, Casey McGlynn. Years ago, I took a workshop with Casey and he set me on the path to let my quirkiness shine through. When you take a look at his work, you'll see why. He and his friend Bobby Lawn have a painting they worked on together. Check out Bobby's Instagram @bobby__lawn and Casey is here. That's a photo of Casey and I posing in front of one of his paintings. We coordinated our stripes of course.

Thanks so much to Mira and Angela (whom I often refer to as my agent) for sending me art news!

Mirasent me the bright images of Robbie Craig. His work is Canadian focussed and I knew it was familiar. Take a look at www.rcraig.org and it might just be what your'e looking for.

Angela sent me an article of the mesmerizing art of James Jean and a youtube of Sun Tarot Tapestry Behind The Scenes. It is one of those videos that draw you right in. So meticulously and precisely done work.

Hello Dear Art Lover          

Going Out For Business

Greetings from the other side of an art show. How enjoyable it was to spend the whole WE talking about art and meeting so many interested art lovers. Thank goodness everyone has an opinion. Whether they like it or not. There's always so much to learn, not only about others but about oneself as well. I believe that everything in my life informs my expression in my art, but had never thought about how my years of being a radiation therapist and looking at scans and xrays impacts the creation of the many layers and shapes that find their way onto my canvases.

Often I have struggled to find words to describe the kind of art I do. One visitor offered me the term 'mentally divergent'. That does indeed express pretty accurately what I'm about. I do see things that some people just don't. Call me crazy, but I accept the term.

Thanks to everyone who dropped into Booth 19 at Art Walk Square. The weather was perfect all WE and I had time to meet new friends and see new art myself. My prints were debuted and quite a few found homes as well as other works.

Each day of the show, I held a 'free print draw' I am so happy that my art has found it's way to

Shazrati, the FRIDAY WINNER,
Gail, the SATURDAY WINNER,
Saara the SUNDAY WINNER.

You have seen my art change over the years and I am now ready to let some go at BARGAIN prices.
Because you read my newsletter, you get first dibs. I'll attach a few images here, but if you go to my website gailwilliamsartist.com, you can see more. To start off, I'm offering the FACES collection at $100.00 per painting except for 'Three Faces of Eve'. All of theCONTEMPALTIONS'are also $100. 'GHOST'series are $500. (only 2 left)

I'm attaching a few of my loved ones here, but there are more available.

Or, MAKE ME AN OFFER...let me know if the one you've had your eye on, is up for grabs.

My friend Michele is a member of the Woodlawn Pottery Studio. They are having a driveway sale on Sun Oct 3, 11-4 at 157 Hillsdale Ave E. You might have seen some of the members' wonderful work at the Artscape shows in the past. If you love pottery, like I do, drop by early to get the best selection.

A lot of people are fascinated in the unique process I use to start my paintings. Therefore, I have decided it's time to start teaching. Class size will be limited to 4 people. I will supply everything you need. Please let me know if you would like to be put on the wait list as the first class is already full.
Come join the fun and let your inner child out again.
