Hello Dear Art Lover
G & T with Friends
G & T …fooled you…not gin and tonic but even better…Gail and Tracy with Friends show opening night Fri May 31, 5-9 at the Jackalope Gallery at 1558 Queen St E. An exciting collection of paintings, photography and sculpture featuring our friends Felicity Somerset, Lynne Bywater, Silvana Michetti and Karen Neeson. This special art event is to celebrate the partnership of the Jack's gallerists and some specially invited friends whose work we know you will be eager to see.
My little trip to Newfoundland proved what I had thought about how northern Ontario and Newfoundland have a lot in common. Rocks, trees and big water. Except of course, the icebergs. We were lucky enough to see 2 but they were so far out, I would plan to take a boat tour the next time. And, I’d plan to go when lobster and tourist season is in full swing.
The summer art scene is starting with an explosion of art shows. In addition to the gallery I am also in The Art Show, a super fun event hosted by the remarkable Peg Graham. She transforms her delightful home into a gallery every year with a wide range of treasures Sat June 1 and Sun June 2, 11 am - 6pm, benefitting Indspire which educates Indigenous youths. Please come to visit at 64A Queensbury Ave. Buy some art, have a refreshing bevie and enjoy the relaxed vibe Peg always serves up.
As you can imagine, running a gallery has occupied a lot of my energies. In addition to my personal painting schedule, we have started adding art classes and fun events to our roster. We had a very fun time with our inaugural Pop Up Paint Your Partner night and have another planned for Wed. June 5, 7-9. Leave your judgement at home and play along with us. Take home your original artwork as a momento of your fun date. Make it a double date and double the fun.

FINALLY….Prints! I’ve finally decided on a printer and which pieces I’ll start offering prints of. I’ll debut them at the G & T. In addition, you’ll be able to order prints of any artwork you’ve loved but haven’t the budget for the original. I can’t wait to show these beauties.
As always, my deepest appreciation for your appreciation.
Rock on,
Gail
