Hello Dear Art Lover
My Heart is Full
Thank you so much for your support of my art career. This past WE we had the fifth annual Gifts for the Soul holiday market and it was a roaring success. That is because you have been such a super booster for me and my small business. You've bought my paintings, come out to my shows and brought friends and have told others about me. I wouldn't have been able to continue so confidently if I hadn't had your support.
This month I have one more art event and it's going to be wonderful! My friend Karen, a talented potter and very active community member, has organized a mini art crawl in our neighbourhood. There are 3 stops on the tour. Karen's place will host herself and her dad the famous Fred Franzen and body care by Sarah Ann Goldnau-Vogt, fine art and tea towels by Sunny Mills, and textiles and jewellery by Tali Tjiang. Her address is 3 Wembley Drive. You'll find fabulous ceramics at Noel Yardley's place as well as work by Thomas Bollamnn. 416 Gainsborough Rd. At Lisa Herrara's gallery she will be joined by the talents ofJoanne Filetti, Scott Danielsand myself. Please visit us at Tangerine Dream Art Studio and Gallery, 8 Eastwood Rd.
These 3 places are within a few blocks of each other near Coxwell and Gerrard. Free street parking. Easy access by TTC.

CHARITY GIVEAWAYS
You may now view the complete Small Works I have just added to my website. It's the 'Love You Forever' series, original acrylics on paper, 11 x 14 in, matted and ready to frame. FREE SHIPPING in Canada in time for holiday giving. This series was prompted by a love letter my Dad wrote to my Mom that was not discovered until years after he'd written it. A kind of 'Time Goes By' story if you know that BBC show with Jean and Lionel (Judi Dench and Geoffrey Palmer) The price for matted paintings is $300. I can add a frame for $20.00. Of course, you might recognize my homage to Klimt. I just can't help myself loving that man.
If you like Klimt, you may also want to check out another one of my favourites Friedensreich Hundertwasser. He has quite the story. An artist, architect, environmentalist.

Who are you art loves? Please let me know.
And now once again, I am asking for HELP. We have been given our final ..no more extensions.. get out of Dodge, notice at our studios at 7 Labatt Ave. If you have any leads on where a group of artists can find affordable space, please let me know. Our last day there would be March 31, 2023. We have been very fortunate in having this location for as long as we have. I think there'll be a party happening in the new year. So stay tuned.
If you live in east end Toronto, you may have seen the article about me in the Beach Metro news. But, I have more press too!! If you'd like check out my interview in the online magazine Canvas Rebel.

One of the questions I answer is about not starting this art career til later in life and that really made me contemplate my path. Perhaps you've regretted some choices you made in the past that you now see differently. That certainly is true for me. Years of looking at X-rays and scans have informed my art practise in ways I never would have guessed. ThanksLailafor pointing out the obvious.
You'll find attached some images of my Walking the Dog series. I've decided I will do commissions. The DEADLINE to have your painting ready for Christmas is Dec 18... The perfect gift for the dog lovers who have everything else but a personalized painting of their fur baby. Only $230. for one, or 2 for $399.
Thanks so much for your support. I wouldn't be here without you.
Rock on,
Gail
