This happy painting celebrates a beautiful pond in a park onthe west end of Toronto that my husband and I visit as often
as possible. One view in the park is of Lake Ontario, and further
along a tree-lined path is this idyllic pond.
The birds in the park know my husband's voice (I'm not kidding),
and the swans in particular swim in from way, way out on Lake
Ontario to see Steven, because he feeds them. Steven absolutely
loves birds, and of course they love him.
Last week this painting was packed up by a wonderful fellow --
Amin -- at my favourite shipper's place, and traveled to New York
City, where it will be on view in the Amsterdam Whitney Gallery
until February 2020. I'm pretty excited about that exhibition. I'll
see it myself this weekend, then I'll be back in a pre-holiday
busy spirit on Sunday to organize my Toronto fun.
Have a loving what you do day.

Sounds like a lot of creative excitement your way. So fun and rewarding for you Barbara. The painting is lovely and I can't imagine you would want to sell it for the wonderful memories you have of the location, even though its relatively close and you visit often. Love those birds being so clever and loving of Steven. Loved this story.
Thank you Judi,
t has been a pretty dynamic month. It is fun and rewarding. I'm glad you like the painting. That makes me happy,
and thank you for your wonderful comment. We are in New York now, and enjoying everything we see.
Happy Holidays. You made my day.
XOXOXOXOXO Barbara
