Hello Dear Art Lover

Were you ready for this?!!

I sure wasn’t ready. The trees weren’t either. As I write this it is still snowing here in Toronto. Of course I hadn’t done any yard clean up or putting away the summer furniture. Let’s hope it all melts soon.

Last Thursday was Day One of my new course ‘Exploring Layers: GelPrints and Collage’ and we had such a fun time. I’ll be starting another course in the new year, so please keep it in mind. Perhaps as a gift for someone you know who loves to create.

If you’d like a fun time making your own holiday cards, I will teach gel printing on Fri Nov 28 and Sat Nov 29 in my studio. You’ll make 6 cards and learn the basics of this simple and fun way to share your creativity. Cost is $65.00 for 3 hours of play in my studio. Space is limited.

There are 5 horses galloping in the Riverdale Hub Gallery! David at the Hub has added ‘Eddie’s Horses’ to the cafe and my painting ‘TheDawning of the Age of Aquarius’ to the co-working space. This delightful gallery is full of light and innovation, located on Gerrard St E. near Greenwood Ave.
https://riverdalehub.ca › riverdale-hub-gallery

We’ve set the date for our Holiday Open Studio for Sun Dec 7, noon to 5pm. This year you’ll be able to visit the Labatt Studio Artists and the GWA studio artists. We are hoping that the other artists in the building will join too. There will also be artwork by the bros Fox and Theo.

You might know that I am a bibliomaniac as well as a logophile (not to be confused with a sesquipedalian). While I’m on this subject I also confess to pareidolia which is related to apophonia. I’m sure when you look up pareidolia you’ll get the connection to my art. I was very happy to learn that my ‘condition’ is incurable and will happily continue to create more weird art. All this to say that I read a wonderful book about Francis Picabia, an avant garde artist I’d never heard of who is associated with Dada. The book is ‘Gabriele’ written by Clare and Anne Berest. Let me know if you like it. And as usual, I’m always looking for your favourite new books.

Til the next time, keep living artfully.

ROCK ON,

Gail

Happy gel printers. Marion, Dorothy and Karen

Hello Dear Art Lover

You’ve still got time

At least that’s what I tell myself. (LOL) I’ve never been one to get all the shopping done far in advance and I used to panic about it. Now I know that it will all get done. No matter what the ‘all’ is. The gift buying, the food planning, the shopping for the fancy outfit. That last one is definitely off the list this year.

However…you’ve still got time to get that little painting from the Gail Williams collection. I’ve got a large selection of small artworks available and several places where you can find them. Just give me a call and we can chat or you can visit the galleries I’m in this year. There’s bound to be something to catch your eye.

We had a full house last week at the Jackalope Gallery with a gelli printing workshop creating Christmas cards. Peg and Marion brought their friends with them and we had a blast.

This Sat Dec 7,12-3, I’ll be doing a live gelli printing session using PLANTS. Come see the artists at work. My best buddy Dorothy will be using charcoal drawing with the gelli plate so you can see how versatile this printing can be. This is such a satisfying and simple technique that requires little room and supplies that you can easily do at home.You can see the Merry Minis show at the Jack at the same time and get some of those names crossed off your list.

The next gelli workshop is booked for Sat Jan 11, 1-3 at the Jackalope Gallery. All supplies are included for only $95.00. If you’d rather use your own gelli plate please bring it along. We’re going to be doing botanicals. Start your new year with some fun learning.

As always, I appreciate your support.

Rock on,

Gail

Hello Dear Art Lover

It’s beginning to look a lot like….

Holiday Greetings are in the air

It’s been super busy here at Santa’s workshop while I create cards and prints and the grey cells have been in overdrive learning how to do all sorts of things involving the computer. I used to have a mantra ‘I embrace my inner techie’ in an effort to come to peace with learning new computer programs but it does end in tears sometimes.

How the heck did I ever operate a linear accelerator?! My poor co-workers were often challenged with my little hissy fits. Honest!

Who knew that having computer skills would help my artistic career? I’m very excited to share with you my first calendar for 2024. I’ll be checking the sample tomorrow and hopefully have it ready for the Gifts for the Soul holiday market next Sat, Nov 25.

There will be a wonderful selection of small prints and cards all ready for you at budget friendly prices though. Hopefully you will agree that the colours are spot on and the prices are excellent. If you haven’t begun your Gail Williams collection, now is the time to start.

I took a few pics of some cards and a framed print to give you an idea of some of the images I’ll have available. There will also be some giclees and original paintings for you to enjoy. I can order prints for almost any of my paintings. Of course the prices are much less than an original but still gorgeous.

We are so looking forward to sharing our talents with you at St Matthews Clubhouse, 450 Broadview Ave on Sat Nov 25, 9:30-4pm. Please tell all your friends and bring a few BFFs with you.

Thanks for supporting your local artists.

Hello Dear Art Lover

Have a BOOtiful W/E

Have you got your costume ready? We used to go to Hallowe’en parties every year when we were young’uns. My most creative was making a costume for myself as a belly dancer and Ron as a sheik complete with turban and velvet cutaway vest to show off his 6 pack(lol) Those were the days! What was your favourite costume?

My days are now filled with creating for the holiday shows I’ve planned. I’m adding more prints and cards to have on offer as well as some original work. You can see the dates at the end of this message. If there is a particular painting you’d like in a print, please let me know. I know you have a favourite or two. All you have to do is review my website or my IG posts. I already have some requests.

This week I’m sharing a beautiful little painting I recently completed. Be the first to send me a message that you HAVE TO HAVE IT. We can arrange a delivery. If you are already a client, don’t forget your super saver discount. I will be making prints of it both on paper and giclee if that suits your budget better.

I’m also seeing progress in my website. Slow but sure. You know that this tech side is not my favourite thing. Thank goodness I have lots of helpers.

At the bottom of my pictures you’ll see the charming town of Tobermory on the Isle of Mull in Scotland. We had a lovely time touring the surrounding countryside. Just one of the many islands you could explore.

Of course no trip to Scotland is complete without the obligatory whisky tasting. I was successful in my self imposed challenge to try a new one every day. Whew…it was such hard work!

Kick start your holiday shopping and discover unique, one of a kind items. Find the ideal gifts. Come and explore these 2 free shows.

Please mark your calendars for these two holiday markets I have later this year. The first is our 5th annual Gifts for the Soul market on Sat Nov 25, at St Matthews Clubhouse at 450 Broadview Ave. We have some new makers I am sure you’ll love.

The next one is the Karen Franzen and Friends event on Dec 8-10 at 3 Wembley Dr. I am honoured to be part of this talented group of creatives.

More info on each event will be sent soon.

Thanks so much for your cheering on.

Rock on,

Hello Dear Art Lover   

START THE CAR!!!

Isn't this weather just a little crazy?! I know you don't want me to say it, but...just a little tiny bit of snow wouldn't be that bad would it? Just enough to get everyone in the mood for the holidays. But before I go ahead and get all excited about what is coming up for the Christmas season, I really must take a pause to show respect on Remembrance Day. Even with all our political noise, I think we're very fortunate to live in this country. My dad was one of those young men who lied about their age to join the navy in WW2. Him and his best buddy, also named Bill, were on convoy duty accompanying bigger ships across the Atlantic. Thanks Bills.

My Grandma bought a camp (cottage to the southerners here) on Lake Superior in the 1930's. Imagine a drafty cabin, no electricity, no indoor plumbing. Anyways..it's been the scene of many a good time for almost a century. We have a 'camp' book, a guest book, that has been filled down through the years, with notes of appreciation from friends and relatives, drawings from grandkids and stories of crazy antics. We're a large family so we do have quite a few tales.

When my Mom was the owner, my Dad wrote a romantic letter to her about his adoration . My Dad died when he was 57, my Mom at 92. She didn't discover that love note until many years afterwards. My Dad, ever the trickster, put it near the end of the book. I've read that book many times and it always makes me tear up.

When I finished the painting you see here, it just had to be called 'Love You Forever'. And when I was deciding on what would be the focus of this year's ' Small Works', I knew it had to be my 'Love You Forever' series.

SAVE THE DATE ... SMALL WORKS
ADVANCE RELEASE TO VIPs … that's YOU

This year's Small Works will be open to you, my VIPs, at thespecial discountprice of $270 startingNov 22 - Nov 25. On Nov 26, the price goes up to $300 when they are available to the general public. I'll be posting photos so you can choose. I'll only have 9 and one has sold already. Here's a teaser to let you in on what to expect.

You could get your 'Love You Forever' original painting at our Gifts for the Soul holiday market on Nov 26, 9:30 - 4 pm, 450 Broadview Ave, (north of Gerrard St E). If you order ahead the price is $270. They are 11x 14, acrylic on paper, matted in a standard size, ready for framing.

Perhaps you'll see something else that you just have to have. There will be a fantastic choice of pottery, paintings, jewellery, wearable art, fibre art, notebooks and boxes made from recycled materials, and glassware. I can't wait to see what our creative team is bringing to the table. And of course, the weather will be perfect

You know I love to get letters from you! Steve sent this fun story a few weeks ago. It's a wild world out there folks.

Hello Dear Art Lover        

JINGLE

There's a whole lot of shaking of jingle bells happening in my house these days. It's like when you have a dinner party and you do all the prep that you can do ahead of time, and it still looks like a disaster zone almost as soon after the first guests appear. I really didn't think I'd have that many art events for the holiday season, but I think accepted too many party invitations. Oh well...girls just wanna have fu-un.

Having said that...I hope that you'll be able to join in the merriment that I'm organizing. What's a party without the people?

I'm not sure if you remember the first Gifts for the Soul holiday market that we held almost 7 years ago. It was at Artscape on Shaw St in the west end. This year is our 5th annual celebration (factor in the Covid years). We are lucky to hold it in the historic St . Matthews Club house, 450 Broadview Ave, just north of Gerrard St E, in Riverdale park. It is the perfect cozy spot for our boutique. There will be some new vendors showing their unique work. Paintings of course, vintage and embroidered jewellery, elegant pottery, stunning fibre art, charming decorative birdhouses, painted glass ware, and the always charming creations by Janet from found objects..notebooks, boxes, hedgehogs. Come say 'Hi' to Dorothy, Joanna, Lorrie, Janet, Tracy, Deniz, Barb and Janet.

Check their IGs to get excited. @dorothyabarrett, @caveandcrownfibreart, @lorriekingpottery, @janetfpotterartist, @tracydaviesart, @denizinmushroomland, @barbielew

Please save Sat Nov 26, 9:30 -4pm for the only shopping experience you'll need. We'll have something special for everyone on your list.

As well, I am participating in a mini holiday art crawl here in my east end neighbourhood with about a dozen other very talented folks. Pottery, ceramics and fine art will be featured. Please mark your calendar for Dec 9-11. I'll be part of the Karen Franzen and Friends Holiday Market. Details to follow.

And is if that isn't enough, I'm working on a new series I'm calling 'Love You Forever' inspired by my latest full size painting. The details of how this story unfolded will be next issue's focus. You will have first access to this delightful new body of work at a special VIP price.

Added to this newsletter are some of my 'Walking the Dog' series. I had such fun with these and haven't had too many place to show them off. They are 12 x 12 in original acrylic on canvas and only $200. When the new owner buys the painting, I add the title 'Walkies with....' (fill in with your choice) on the back. I can change the colour of the dog if you'd like. They make perfect gifts. Especially for those hard to buy for people who have 'everything'. This is a limited series and when they're gone, they're gone. If you need 2, you get a discount. 2 for $350.00 Your'e welcome!

PS..Did you notice the new logo? Thanks again for your support. It means the world to me.

Hello Dear Art Lover      

Did You Guess?

Did you stuff yourself with food and family love last WE? I truly hope you did. I am very grateful for being able to surround myself with the joy of family. Even though it does get a little noisy, and there is always some drama, for us it's good drama. The most noise coming from Theo, as his brother Fox, accidentally (of course) gave him a small black eye during the wrestling match. Don't all little boys do that?

The outdoor art fairs are over for this year, but the art making continues. I'm working on aspecial project of new work in time for holiday gifting that I'm basing on my recently completed large painting called 'Love You Forever'. It's a very sweet story that I'll share soon. I hope to capture the beauty of the sentiment in a way that you will like.

Our annual holiday market 'Gifts for the Soul' that was derailed for 2 years is back again. This year it will be at the historic St. Matthew's Clubhouse on Broadview Ave, north of Gerrard on Sat Nov 26. We have some new vendors whose work is very unique. I'm sure you'll find a few things that will be just perfect for that special someone.

You might be wondering if I've changed my style. Surprise!!! This fabulous painting is by the talented artist Kit Cutting who bought one of my paintings a few years ago. It's almost life sized , 4ft.x 5ft.. 'Schooner' looks like he could reach right out and give you a kiss, doesn't he? Kit says he's not for sale, but I bet if you looked at her website, you might find something there that you just have to have.

Kit has a website with 10 other artists in Port Stanley (online). Her web part is https://portsidegallery.ca/product-category/artists/kit-cutting/

I love to see what creative endeavours are happening with my tribe. Send me some photos and ideas please.

Included today is the current W!P (work in progress) that my nephew Bill and I are engaged in. This time, he's at the helm. We are very simpatico and it still surprises me that we work so well together. Is weirdness in our DNA perhaps?

If I haven't told you lately...I love you...thanks for your continuing support.

Hello Dear Art Lover        

It's a chicken and egg thing

Has it been a super busy time for you too? I think I'm finally accepting that this holiday season is always crammed full of busyness. People to see, places to go, cookies to bake. If I was ever really prepared, I would have put aside a photo I have of our family cookie baking days. There's flour everywhere and I'll bet those cookies were just as unsanitary as the ones Fox and Theo help us create these days. It always seems to happen that someone has a runny nose and those little fingers are touching every smartie and sugar ball we use for decorating. It sure was fun though.

At this time of year I am focusing with gratitude on the abundance that surrounds me. That's why I say 'It's a chicken and egg thing'. What comes first ..the gratitude or the abundance. I believe it's the gratitude. Gratitude for however my life is, even if it's a time of struggle and challenge. I try to find the lesson in the dark times which then leads me to abundance and more gratitude. If you've gotten this far and know me at all, you know I'm the glass half full gal.

Hello Dear Art Lover    

And In Here It's So Delightful

Did you build a snowman last weekend? And have a snowball fight? I can answer yes to both those questions. It was such a lot of fun to play in the snow with Fox and Theo. When your grandson says it's his 'favourite day ever', you just have to smile and perhaps remember those days long ago when you build snow forts and stacked up the snowballs for the neighbourhood battles. Now those snowmen have melted and I'm dreaming of a white Christmas.

A few weeks back I promised that I would give you a report on the art show at the McMichael called 'Uninvited: Canadian Women Artists in the Modern Moment' It's a show that delivers what it promises, an extensive look at the women artists who were overshadowed by the famous Group of Seven. In addition there is the stunning work of Margaux Williamson: 'Interiors'. We also had an enchanting conversation with Bonnie Devine, an installation artist who is creating a site-specific mural on the walls entitled 'From Water to Water : A Way Through the Trees' It's well worth the trip to Kleinburg. Thanks forDeb and Lorriefor reminding me of the show.

Follow Bonnie on Instagram at bonnie devine_art.

Don't forget about my buddies, The PORDS , who are having their show this WE, Sat and Sun. Say hi to Heidi, Kim, Maurice and Kat.

Then jump on over to 7 Labatt Ave on Sun Dec 5, 11-4, to feast your eyes on the beautiful handmade offerings of Cave and Crown, by Joanna and myself. We're on the second floor and hope to have the door opened for the occasion. Just in case it isn't please text or call 416-271-3934, and someone will run down to welcome you. Masking required of course.

How about your 'Mission Not Impossible'? Have you been flexing your powers of noticing? When I go for my walks, I try to take a different route and set my intention to notice certain things...like colours, shadows etc. Lately I've been focussing on studying how the branches grow on different trees. What has your mind been noticing recently?

Besides the large pieces of original art I will have on the walls, don't forget I have some prints ready to go home with you and some coasters that might also be a fun gift to add to those bottles of wine that you take to your many holiday parties. I can also have prints custom made in time for the holidays.No chain of supply issues here!

Once again, I must express my deep appreciation for your support.

Hope to see you on Sunday.

Hello Dear Art Lover            

Read All About It!!

This letter was practically complete when I got the exciting news.

I am delighted to let you know that Joanna Williams with her Cave and Crown line will be showing her wares at my Holiday Open House Art Show. Joanna is my lovely daughter and mother of Fox and Theo. 

She opened her business with the birth of her first son, and designs and creates everything in her home studio. All her items are lovingly handcrafted, from macrame to  luxurious blankets and accessories for your personal sanctuary.  Your'e sure to find something for that special person on your gift list. 

Please join us on Dec 5, 11am - 4pm at my studio at 7 Labatt Ave. I am so lucky to have the beautiful space of the atrium again this year. Nancy Bennett's art will be on the walls as well. She is having her party the day before on Dec 4. You'll also be able to see the gigantic painting that my nephew, Bill and I have completed. There will also be prints available and coasters to add to your gift list.

This past week Fox and Theo and I went down to the Leslie street spit to see what we could see. They hate walking on the path, so we always find a hidden trail. You'll never guess what happened! Our helicopter crashed and we went around collecting pieces to see if we could put it back together. Forget the bird watcher who introduced us to a mockingbird. We were on a secret mission.

I'm reminded of this because Ron Walker in his book 'The Art of Noticing' talks about how children can makes games of any situation. Even in a big box store. The next time you go to one, maybe you can go on a secret mission to discover the most absurd thing they sell or the most useless or the most beautiful. Make it up. It will surely make your errand a little more interesting. I'd love to hear what you discover on your own secret mission..not impossible.

Today I'm adding a work in progress. I was cleaning my basement and came across some old life drawings that are about 50 years old. When I was a student radiation therapist, I took life drawing at night school. I've decided to see how I can integrate these old life drawings into my current style. A new series is taking form.

Once again, I sincerely thank you for your support.

Rock on,

Gail

Hello Dear Art Lover

Have You Ever Seen Those Chestnuts?

All kidding aside...I'd love to know if you have done it. If not that, then what is one Christmas tradition that you follow? Saying it's going to be different is the understatement of the year. This year, no matter what tradition you celebrate, it's probably going to be the one you remember for a very long time.

But no matter what, I'm still making and baking. Since we have a professional baker in the family...Joanna, and a chef, Vlad, we always have a tasty feast as I'm sure you have also. One of my favourite things to make is tourtière. My Mom used to make it every Christmas eve. I love it with homemade chilli sauce, which I might be lucky to get from my sister Ellen. She makes the best you've ever tasted!

For my craft this year, I made an accordion journal for my graphic novelist grandson Fox. He comes home from school every day and starts drawing and writing the captions. A new story every day. It's super easy to make one for yourself or your aspiring author.

You fold a long piece of paper back and forth into an accordion. If you need a longer piece of paper, just tape some pages together and fold until you have it the size you want. Super easy.

Since our Gifts For The Soul market is not happening this year. I'd like to showcase two creatives who have been in previous shows. Contact them directly for some beautiful gifts.

1. Beverly Allen makes gorgeous 100% silk scarves uniquely designed using dyes she lovingly extracts from local plants. Each is a treasure that is good for the planet and good for you. Approx 22" X 72", hand washable. Shipping is included. Contact her at BeverlyAllenArtist.com.

2. Lorrie King has been in several shows with her stunning pottery. Made of porcelain and stoneware, her pieces are functional and beautiful. Perfect for everyday use. Contact her on Instagram @lorriekingpottery.

The COASTER GIVEAWAY winner this week is Steve. Congratulations Steve, I'll send a set of coasters your way this week. Next week will be the last giveaway of the year. If you know someone who would like to receive my newsletter and be in the running for a giveaway , refer them to my website where they can sign up. www.gailwilliamsartist.com

If you've ever thought that you would like to give a gift of my art, I do gift certificates.

Til next week,
