Your voice. That's what art gives you. Not in spokenwords, but in images. Whether what you're producing
is light and joyous, or deeply emotional or political,
what matters for you is that you are happy making
your creations. The pieces I'm showing today are by
my friend Claire Bonenfant. They are definitely emotional
and deep, but I am certain that Claire is happy when
she is painting.
I wish that happiness for you on this first Saturday in
the Month of March. We went to see Claire's paintings
in a lovely show A Tribute To Joyce in honour of Canadian,
artist Joyce Weiland at the Heliconian Club. Claire has two
magnificent pieces in the show -- featured in this
blog post.

Me with Claire Bonenfant at the
opening of A Tribute to Joyce
today.
Now we're home it's time to relax, and also get organized.In Canada even though there are weather warnings of cold
weather, and today we had more snow, we feel a huge turning
towards the incredible hope of spring in the month of March.
It rushes along our cells, and we are eager to see what's next.
What's next for you? Whatever it is, I wish you total
joy in your work.
Have a loving your life day.
Wonderful paintings by Claire, very emotional but somehow also kind of rational. I do love that.

Claire is a great thinker Verna, you are right, and an amazing artist. In person these
ReplyDeletepaintings are more compelling than I could possibly record with a cell phone. Awesome.
