Hello Dear Art Lover

SUMMERTIME and the Living is Easy

Does it seem to you that here in Canada, summer just surprises us every time. All of a sudden, it’s HOT! I know I must be getting older because I’m actually not complaining (too much) about the heat. Although as soon as I can’t see downtown clearly from my east end neighbourhood, I just want to shout “Take me out of here!!” You know I just want to head north to Paradise (AKA Thunder Bay) to the clear skies, sunshine and cooler nights. Plus swimming in Lake Superior, sauna every day and marshmallow roasts.

I love getting suggestions from my friends here who send me really interesting information about art events and artists, especially female artist. Laila sent me an article about Sahara Longe, a British female artists who is with Timothy Taylor gallery in London, UK. Check her out, she does fabulous figures.

I’m planning on putting this gallery on my itinerary for my next London trip.

It’s confirmed! Taren White Gallery in Paris, ON is featuring me as a guest artist for the months of July, August and September. I am beyond excited as she has asked for some of my Head Shots series. Her stunning gallery is at 13 Grand River St N, on the main street of that lovely town and has a deck overlooking the Grand River. It is so pretty. I can’t wait to take my paintings to her. If you are able to plan a road trip to see some of Ontario’s picturesque towns, please include Paris and pop in to say hello to Taren and my paintings. I’m sending Cyndi, Frida , Hilary and Watermelon Anyone. They are mostly named for famous female creators. I’m sure you’ll guess who Cyndi and Frida are named for, but Hilary might have you stumped. Hilary is the wonderful British writer of ‘Wolf Hall’ and ‘Bring up the Bodies’. I’ll be doing an artist talk there in September. Date TBD. Check my website in the Head Shots series.

You’ve probably noticed that I’ve been loving the fluorescent colours for a while now and recently I discovered some new ones by Holbein. Here are two recent paintings using the dramatic ‘opera’ (a vibrant pink) and violet. Enjoy. I’m not sure when they will be taken out for a viewing, but if you fall in love with them, you are welcome to visit my studio or we can arrange a home visit. I’d love to know which one you like best.

Don’t forget that I welcome layaways.

And as always, please know how much I value your support and interest in my art adventure. I’m so glad to have you along for the ride.

Rock on,

Gail
