Hello Dear Art Lover
I HAVE A BAD HABIT
Confession time…I have a bad habit and I’m trying to make some changes. Last week was the first solo show that I had ever had. It was a resounding success. The space was perfect for my art, I had a wonderful turnout and such positive feedback. I do feel proud that I was able to put it all together. So many other people helped me in a variety of ways and I appreciate and acknowledge their support.
My bad habit is that I am already planning the next shows and the next paintings. I am not giving myself time to really take it in. Do you do this? Living in the moment and slowing down to recognize the achievements along the way is a challenge for me. Thank you for your support of this adventure of mine. I truly am living my dream and am deeply grateful. On the last day of the show, Fox very proudly picked the winner of the FREE ART draw who just happened to be my neighbour Gord. Congratulations Gord!
That said..here we go again!
You are invited to 3 shows this month.
In Paris (ON) I’ll have one painting in the Taren White Gallery and three will be in her online show. This show is called ‘Celebrating Women Artists’ and will run May 10-31 at the Taren White Gallery, 13 Grand River St N, Paris, ON.
The Monday night life drawing group Central Connection, is having it’s 30th annual art show Sat/Sun May 27/28 in Withrow Park, near Danforth and Logan in the community centre at the north end of the park. My art will be there but I will not , unfortunately. This group of artists are extremely talented. You’ll be sure to find something new to add to your art collection.
Instead, I will be in attendance at The Art Show at Peg Graham’s lovely home all WE Sat/Sun May 27/28 at 64A Queensbury Ave, Scarborough. Peg’s place is near Warden and Kingston Rd. She creates a gallery with her entire home and garden and has 16 artists represented with a variety of paintings, pottery and jewelry. This show is benefiting Indspire, an initiative to educate Indigenous youth.
This week I was very pleased to be able to add to Dawn’s charming home. She’d had her eye on a painting that reminded her of her Irish roots that I named ‘I Wish I Were There With You’. It fit in perfectly with her extensive and meaningful art collection.
Something that gets me excited is hearing about dreams come true. Especially for people I know. My daughter Ingrie’s BFF from highschool, has realized his dream to see his production on stage at Harbourfront after many years of working on it. If you love Japanese Taiko drumming, please support Kokichi Kusano in his signature show ‘NAE, The Rice Seedling’, May 5,6,7 at Harbourfront Centre Theatre.
BTW, did you know that I can set up a flexible payment plan if you see some painting of mine that you love, but the timing is not right for you budget. Let’s talk.
Rock on,
Gail
