It was a delightful opening today, with friends, artists'
family, and new friends coming and loving the show. 
I was so excited to meet artists, painters, sculptors,

photographers, writers, collage artists -- amazing. 
What a treat!

It was so much fun talking to people, and enjoying seeing the
art in our happy exhibition. 

If you get a chance please come out and see The Colour of Light
on April 8 (this Wednesday) between 4 and 7:30 p.m.  We will
have goodies, treats, snacks, and would love to see you.

Have a loving your life day!

It was a super opening today at the Heliconian Club, 35 Hazelton Ave.,

and people loved the show.  We all enjoyed seeing so many friends, and meeting
so many new friends.  I'm so grateful to everyone who helped with the show,
and to the my friends Henrietta Walmark and Vivian East for being in the
show together with me.  People came in off the street amazed that our work 
looks so good together. It is a beautiful show.

I hope if you're in Toronto that you'll come out either tomorrow the 4th 
between 2 and 5 p.m., or  Wednesday, the 8th from 4 - 7:30, or on April 24
from 1 - 3. The show is up all month.  Other than the reception dates, you
can see it by appointment through the club office.

Remember the openings are free, and we have delicious snacks and cookies,

and coffee and tea.  We'd love to see you!

The Colour of Light show featuring the work of the painter Vivian East,
the photographer Henrietta Walmark and me goes up tomorrow,
and the first opening is Friday April 3 from 2 - 5 p.m. at 35 Hazelton
Avenue in Toronto.  The show is free, there will be treats, cookies,
snacks, coffee.  We would love to see you there.

Friday is a holiday, and if you're downtown in the Yorkville area please
drop in. The Heliconian looks like a church, but is not, it's an art club.

It must be spring

Last spring at this time I was getting ready for my solo show,
this year I am almost finished my paintings for the 
Colour of Light, show at the Heliconian Club, opening this coming
Friday -- April 3, 2026mfrom 2 - 5 p.m.  Looking at the paintings
of course I see some things that need changing. 

Thankfully it's all coming together. And as usual more list making,
checking, packing, planning.  Some of you (many of you) have
done shows with two other artists and know it's a busy time.
You inspire me, and Steven is singing in the kitchen -- so
dinner is ready, and I will staypositive.

I look forward to seeing you there.

Have a loving your life day!

This is one of the paintings I'll be showing in the Colour of Light show opening
this Friday from 2 - 5 p.m. at The Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave., Toronto.

Yes I'm still working on it. I hope I'll see you at one of our four openings.

I will put the invitation on tomorrow.  It's been a great day painting, and I've
handed our invitations to people who are looking forward to seeing the show,

so that is wonderful.

Plus the first pansies were for sale at a local store, and I bought three pots of
them.  Soooooo beautiful.  A week or so ago we were coping with snow
drifts. Today it was like instant spring.  

Have a loving your life day!

A very happy day

 

It's a fine day sweetheart

This painting seems right for today. As well as getting ready
for the Colour of Light show opening in Toronto on Friday at
35 Hazelton Ave. from 2 - 5 p.m., it was a family

art day.  So much fun.  We sit around the kitchen table covered

with art paper, and draw.  The best.  Bright coloured
markers combine with short messages to create something so
vivid.  

So I hope you had a very happy Sunday.  We did.

Have a loving your life day!
