Saturday -- an opening and Movie night

Sadly the photos we took at the reception at the Off The Wall show
at the Heliconian Club  today didn't work.  And that's too bad because
it was a wonderful opening. I  sold work, wrapped it up, sold some cards, 
and had absolutely delightful conversations.

Then it was movie night with my sweetheart.

I decided to use this image I posted in 2022 in early January, because it
is joyous, and it's probably one of the most vibrant tulip paintings I
ever did -- yet it was a sketch.  The present in the title is the beautiful crystal
jug a student gave me at the end of term when I taught at Seneca
College.  We still keep in touch, and she now runs a farm.

It's very late.  It's been a stupendous day, and I'm tired.
Stay warm.

Have a loving your life day.
