This painting will be on display and for sale in the MUSE
show that opens at Super Wonder Gallery on Friday September 16,
and Saturday September 17 in Toronto from 8p.m. to 2 p.m.
art -- vast horizons, oceans, rolling hills, forests, farms,
endless beauty -- Nova Scotia.
And I did not bring art supplies -- thinking that I could
get them at an art store in Moncton on the way. But it
is for sale! Is that the universe telling me to take some
time off? For me art is both a passion and a job. Do I
deserve a holiday from art? Am I kidding myself.
As long as I have eyes there are no holidays from art,
and I am grateful for that fact.
Here on our little property in Nova Scotia -- I see the
too blue sky I put in my paintings. It is too blue for
Toronto, but the real colour here. So blue it is
delicious.
I stand under a crabapple tree on our acre of land, that forms an
umbrella arch about 20 feet wide over me, and marvel.
Our yard in Toronto is about 20 feet wide, and we crammed
a cherry tree (now gone) and an apple tree (suffering)
and a garage in that space.
So even if I don't find canvas and paint, I will use my
camera, eyes, heart, soul to prepare to paint as much as
I can of what I've seen when I get home . If you've
never been to Nova Scotia -- you should come. Meanwhile,
Happy Painting.
Have a loving where you are day.
