One year ago in Paris!

 

Pete Sinjin and me beside the river

Seine in Paris one year ago. It was so

wonderful to meet him, and to realize that we

already had a connection. Check out his work.

It's amazing.

I feel so lucky in my life in general, because wonderful things like this happen.

Steven and I were walking along the Seine in Paris last year, and an artist (Pete

Sinjin in the photo) was measuring with his paint brush in the air the scene

he was painting.  I started to laugh because I don't know how to do that measuring
thing, and I don't do it. So we started to talk in our best effort at French, until Pete
said his name.  Then I realized that there was a piece on Instagram about a critic
who was not kind to Pete Sinjin.  I was one of many people who wrote
and said that the writer was ridiculous because Pete Sinjin's work is fabulous.
And it is!

So Pete asked for a photo and Steven took this.  It makes me happy just looking at

this happy picture, and Pete and I have been friends ever since.

Of course the painting he was creating that day was awesome, and so are all of his pieces. 

Have a loving your life day!

Only two days left to see The Art of Celebration

I'm so grateful to the hanging committee, Peter Ramdeholl and my husband, Steven, for
doing such a spectacular job hanging the show!  We had a great opening on Sunday,

It was a great final opening for my solo show The Art of Celebration.  It's on until April

30th.  We had so many guests -- friends and new friends -- and so much interest -- -plus some great sales.

So fun.  Thank you everyone.

Super tired. Going to bed.

Have a loving your life day!

 

Please come this Sunday April 27.

 

Hi everyone.  I don't mean to bore you.  But this is all that's happening around here.  My son
is in from London, Ontario to see the show, and we're all pretty excited.

Hope you're having a great weekend, and I'd love to see you there.

Have a loving your life day!

This is the weekend

A friend from our street talks to visitors

to the first opening of The Art of Celebration

about my work.

April 27 is the last opening 2-6 p.m.
Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave.

In the background are 8 of the 50+ paintings in the
exhibition.

This is it people. The final reception for my show the Art of Celebration opens from 2 to 6 PM on Sunday, April 27. I know I’ve said this before, but I don’t think I can say it enough, I would love to see you there. It’s a free exhibition in a very beautiful space The Heliconian Hall at 35 Hazelton Ave., Toronto. The venue is one of the most beautiful I’ve ever exhibited -- in a former church with a beautiful blue ceiling inside and couches all around the edge of the gallery space.

We will serve delicious coffee, and treats and you can enjoy something wonderful to eat while you walk around and look at the more than 50 paintings. So if you’re in the Yorkville area of Toronto this weekend, please do drop by on Sunday afternoon.

And thank you so much to the Heliconian staff and members for their incredible help and kindness. See you there.

Have a loving in your life day!

Happy Monthaversary of our wedding day to Steven, my wonderful husband. We haven't
been out to Beamsville to see the trees yet and I hope we get there.  Things are just a bit
busy with the opening this Sunday, family coming to town, and endless organizing 

jobs.

I hope you had a glorious day.  It is sooooo beautiful right now -- spring just hit with

a force in the last two days, and everyone is gardening, cleaning up their gardens, and

enjoying the amazing flowers as they go for walks and drives through the city.

Have a loving your life day!

A friend made a super invitation to my last opening for my solo show
The Art of Celebration this Sunday, but I can't seem to capture it
from Instagram. So here is my invitation, which I'm sharing every way
I can. If you’re in Toronto, please come and see my 50+paintings at the
 Heliconian Hall, 35 Hazelton Ave., Toronto.

It’s been such a thrill for me to meet you there, and to see my work displayed
so beautifully. 

See you there Sunday, April 27th

Have a loving your life day!
