It's not a ladder it's a circle

In an interview on Q on CBC radio with Jian Ghomeshi
the other day, Gloria Steinem said that women working
together is a circle (as opposed to a heirarchy).  I liked
this image, and would apply it to artists male and female.
We are a circle of friends, and as such can help one another.
I am in the thick of marking right now, but found some
time to work on this little painting.  It is almost done.

But there's more

Now it's starting to get a bit crazy, but there's more!
My work is going to appear in a group show at
the Arta Gallery in the Distillery District, at Suite
102, Building 9, 55 Mill Street. The show is called
The Light of Winter, and the opening is on Thursday,
December 10, from 6 - 8 p.m. I can't be at the opening,
but if you're in town, please go to the show and enjoy
it. It runs to December 26.

Tonight's image is one of the paintings you can see in
that show. If you're visiting Toronto, the Distillery
District
is a must see -- galleries, restaurants and
fabulous theater.

Today was my longest day -- so goodnight.

Have a life-is-filled-with-opportunities day.
