Hello Dear Art Lover
Let's Ride That Highway
Are we being fooled here in southern Ontario that Spring is on it's way? Give me a few nice days and even though I know we're going to get more snow (after all, we do live in Canada), I just can't help feeling more optimistic. The days are getting longer and brighter. And we might be getting the vaccine this year! But let's not get onto that topic.
My studio has become a portal to new adventures and I can't wait to share new work. The 30 heads in 30 days challenge helped me to clarify a new project. I will be introducing you to 'The Adventures of GG and IFy'. AKA Grandma Gail and her Imaginary Friend. I will create a new page 5 days a week. Who knows where they are going to go. What I'd like to do is add you into my stories, so please let me know where we should go and what we could do...sky diving, travel to Bali, go to outer space? And maybe just around the block to see what we discover. I've already posted Day 1 on the IG.
As well I've had the honour of 'teaching' one of my techniques to another artist and am helping a budding artist with her exciting obsession with her art. Thanks Kim and Danielle for reaching out. I always learn something too. One of my beliefs is that we are all creative. Just give yourself a break. Take a chance and most of all, have FUN! Look up Kim on Instagram @kimatkins16.
I am delighted to announce that Skye Boyle won my Giveaway. She chose the portrait of Day 18, which you can see below. She is a talented artist who lives in Australia. It is exciting to have my art all the way around the world. Check her out @theart_of_greenskye on Instagram.
Also attached, you can see a photo of a new collector, Kit. She found 'Bear Head' on my website and fell in love with the image and bright colours. Not only is she an artist herself, but her husband is a photographer and will be framing it. I can't wait to see how it turns out. Thanks Kit, for finding my entry from the 2019 Salt Spring Art Prize and following the bread crumbs to my website. Kit Cutting is with artwithpanachelondon.weebly.com. and portsidegallery.ca.
Thank you for being here with me. I truly appreciate it.
Til next time,
YOUR HOME + YOUR STYLE + MY ART
ROCK ON
Gail
