Pete Sinjin, the Brooklyn plein air painter

to each other about what he was doing (measuring

Instant friendship. Amazing!

Speaking of being amazed. Yesterday back in good old Toronto was pretty great
-- and the hits just kept on coming. I mean thank you universe! A collector called
to say that the painting she bought last February needed a companion. Yes! Happy to help.

I went to my opening last night at the Heliconian and sold two paintings to
two very sweet collectors, had delightful conversations, and sold some cards.
All in all a very happy night -- a treat. And at the end of the opening I got called

Awesome. Please come to the opening of that in April 2025 if you're in Toronto!

More info to come.
That's very nice. So I am excited because the Heliconian gallery in what was once

In 2019 Members enjoying the presentations sit under
the work from the Encounter show. I loved
seeing them under the wall featuring my work.
The works with clouds are mine.
So this is one wall of the gallery part of the
club! And I will have the entire space in
April! Wow!
