Hello Dear Art Lover
You Raise Me Up
Already another week has rolled around! Yesterday it was as if summer was back..30 degrees here in Toronto, which I can handle as the night cools. In the heat waves of July, I'm a total puddle..a bitchy one at that. How about you? Do you revel in the heat?
This week I was fortunate to be able to host a distanced dinner party on my deck with good friends. This particular group, the Paint Chicks, go back quite a few years and I usually have a summer solstice in June out there. But you know what happened. So we had a smaller group and thankfully the weather cooperated. We reminisced about the first trip we took to France together and all the good times shared at the cottage. It started me thinking that good friends are what keep me going. They've helped me in countless ways. Check out #JoshGroban #YouRaiseMeUp #Vault to see his moving youtube of the song.
As well, I am surrounded with helpers on many levels. My niece Lise, an accomplished audio creator, helps me with my website and many other techie issues. She just updated my website and I had a lot of catching up to do. There's a new 'About' page too. I was almost cross eyed by the time I finished sending her all the new art. She might have been too.
This week I received two interesting emails. Mira suggested I look into Mandalas on the art-is-fun.com site. Mandalas are so meditative. Bev sent me a fascinating video from Facebook that will amaze you I'm sure.

I'm including the ad for the Art Walk in the Square #artwalksquare.ca.so you can visit my virtual booth and the other 99 artists. Lots of choice and you can do it from the comfort of home. Although nothing beats a real hug. Also there is a photo of the recent painting 'A Gathering of Friends', 40 x 30 . We can always arrange a distanced private viewing any time. Hope you like what you see.
Til next week,
YOUR HOME YOUR STYLE MY ART
ROCK ON,
Gail
