Hello Dear Art Lover
Merry Christmas to All and to all a Good Night
And just like that, here we are again. At the end of another year and the beginning of another. How blessed I am to be here at this time with a loving family, a wonderful gang of friends and an army of passionate lovers of my creative endeavours. I never forget that I would not be where I am without such enthusiastic support.
And that is what I wish for you. To go after your dreams, no matter where you're starting from, no matter what your resources are. To never give up and to be true to your unique self.
It's been very busy this last quarter of the year and next year it looks like things will be continuing in the same direction. Labatt Studios will be moving. I hope you'll continue to come along for the ride.
In anticipation of moving, I'm planning anextraordinary sale. Stay tuned for the weekly announcements. You might be able to snag that original Gail Williams painting you've had your eye on for a sweetheart of a deal.
Throughout this past year, I have suggested several authors and resources that you might have found interesting. I know that art lovers almost always love reading as well as visual art. You may have noticed that I am passionate about paying attention to what intrigues you and that we are all artists in some way. Not necessarily on the canvas.
Here are five authors that have attracted my attention this year. They are all amazing (in my opinion) and deserve to be explored.
Rob Walker..The Art of Noticing. He has a book and newsletter.
