Hello Dear Art Lover
Her Name is Dianne
Last week all I was hearing was 'Let's fly away' which is a wonderful thought but totally improbable at this moment of our current stay-home situation. And now it's Jimmy Cliff's 'I can see clearly now'. Mind you the video is very fun and brought back memories of the movie 'Cool Runnings' and John Candy. What's not to love. Just the earworm..that's all. Thanks Dianne! #JimmyCliff #ICanSeeClearlyNow#Vevo
The responses I'm getting from people are so heart warming. The movie and book suggestions keep coming and the ideas of artful living. Thanks to Len, Chris, Mira, Diana, Dianne, Deb, Kim and Angela for sharing. Please don't stop.
Today you'll see some work from two of my dear friends who are both super creative. Deb sent me a photo of just one of the many quilts she has made. I think the colours are soothing and she is so meticulous. It seems that quilters often are. I know there are more of you out there, please send me an example and I'll brag on you too.
Then Angela sent me a birthday card that she made. Look closely at the book titles. I love her quiet, wacky sense of humour. She also up on the art scene and sent me this read about David Hockney.
David Hockney, 83, says working has given him a 'new lease of life' as he prepares to unveil mammoth 288-ft long Bayeux tapestry inspired picture in Paris
Yorkshire artist David Hockney says his new work has given him a new lease of life. A show at the Royal Academy of Arts in London will capture the season with 116 of Hockney's iPad prints.

Both of these friends are former co-workers. Science and the arts rule! Thanks so much.
The '30 Mothers in 30 Days' project is in the final stretch and as I've said before, it is an honour to be doing these mini portraits. I still have room for a few more, so please send me a photo of your Mom, grandma or aunt and I will do my best to create a 7X7 in portrait in mixed media on paper. There is no obligation to purchase, but if you want yours it is $99. Shipping is FREE and as a BONUS, I'm including a 5x7in print of one of my larger paintings. I have already shipped out several to their new homes. Thanks to Diana, Megan and Diana. All across the country!
Til next time, thanks so much for your support. I do appreciate it.
YOUR HOME + YOUR STYLE + MY ART
ROCK ON,
Gail
