Hello Dear Art Lover      
With a lot of help from my friends

Well, here we go again! A state of emergency in Ontario. I'm really trying to stay positive but it's getting not only annoying but depressing as well. I hope you've got a crew to help you out when your'e not on top of your game. I am very grateful that I have a lot of friends that help me out and that I am able to help out.

I thought you might like to see some happy art so I've added 'A Gathering of Friends' into two different room settings. There is a 'room app' that I've become addicted to. It helps to visualize art in spaces. I wish it was as easy to change a room colour [just a click of a button] I'd love to know if you prefer traditional or contemporary settings.

When I was thinking of how we can get through this time, of course I thought of how valuable our friendships are, so I googled friend songs and found this old video from the Beatles. Hope you enjoy it. It's a trip down memory lane for me.

Last week I mentioned that I have put some art in Partial Gallery. It is rent to own website. I have added the correct info so you can easily find me.

One day I will be sending out info for real gallery shows. Hopefully this year.

BTW I love when you send me replies and requests. Keep them coming.

Til next time,

Hello Dear Art Lover        
No words

It's the day after the incredible events of what happened in Washington. I'm at a loss to express how very sad I'm feeling about what went on. The whole thing was surreal. Now I know that all the hatred is very real. Is this the bottom of the pit or are we going to see more evil behaviour?

This was intended to be celebratory welcome to 2021, but I'm sorry I just can't seem to get those images out of my head. It's like 9/11again or visions of waving Nazi flags.

Who knows how this will appear in my artwork? But I have the confidence that it will.

But for today, I'll just get on with it.

Some good news is that we have an extension to our studio lease til June 2021. A cherished space to create is a gift for which I am very grateful.

I've also added my artwork in the Partial Gallery. It's a rent to own online gallery. You can rent my art for up to 3 months at a time and have the rental deducted from your purchase if you wish to buy the art. Or you can return it and get another one. https://www.partial.gallery

Today I'm adding the first completed painting for 2021. It's called 'Stirring Up Ghosts' and is 20 x 16 in, acrylic on wood panel. If you can see this in your space or want to see it for real just let me know. We can do a distanced viewing or even a FaceTime.

Til next time,
