Getting work ready for a big and incredible sale

(When I started this painting our
friends' Flora and Larry's house was
painted yellow.  The last time we
saw it was purple and blue. Next time
it may be completely different.  And
isn't that the definition of art.)

This is one of many, many small paintings I'm revising, framing and
entering in the Heliconian Club Off The Wall show opening November
30 from 2 - 5:30 p.m.

The idea of this show is that the paintings, which are small and 
range in price up to $200, can be taken "off the wall" and replaced
when someone wants to buy one.  20% of the price will go either 
to a charity, or to keeping the Heliconian Club running. All good
causes.

It was an absolutely perfect fall day here with the ideal warm temperature,
and trees bursting into fall colour. We went to City Hall to be there when
my son and his friend finished the Waterfront Marathon.  Amazing. We were
so proud of them.

Afterwards we walked along the lake in one of our favourite parks, and felt
like the world was magic. It certainly looked exquisite in the end of day
light.

Have a loving your life day.
