off their chairs when I showed up with my paintings
at 6:30 p.m. -- early for me. I feel like there's almost a
new show to remember every day -- not true but there
is a lot going on. And today I was distracted by the
problem of among other things dresses. The eternal
dilemma of what to wear.
I entered these two paintings in the DVAC spring show.
I have a special affection for them because
they are about the wonders of video telephoning (Skype
in my case) and the love that you can see face to face
through this technological magic when you are separated

by great distances. I've shown them to you before. I have been on a
Skype kick lately -- keen to paint the very different expressions
you see when you're talking to someone through their computer
screen. It makes sense that I've been enjoying this kind if
portrait image when you think about the shut-in quality of our Canadian
winters and the great distances that can separate us from friends and family
-- especially when the weather forbids travel.
It's always a treat to see my friends at the Don Valley Art Club -- in real
time face to face -- no computers involved. I wish
I'd had more time to check out the show. There were wonderful paintings
coming in but I had to fly.
Have a getting-your-work-in-to-spring-shows day.
You do have a lot going on right now Barbara. Whew! I'm tired (but excited) for you! And good luck when you are in New York.
ReplyDeleteHi Nicki,
ReplyDeleteThanks so much. A big hello from the Big Apple! I sure wish you were going to be here. Maybe another year!
Love your paintings each day. You are an inspiration.
