A day of immense gratitude

Yesterday (Saturday April 5) was the first opening for my solo show -- The Art of
Celebration. It was raining, and I knew that that would happen a couple of weeks
ago reading the long range weather forecast.  I also knew that Torontonians
don't like rain -- but there they were, collectors, friends, supporters, people I'd
given invitations to in the past few weeks, all coming in and enjoying the
exhibition, and it was so fun.

My thanks to the wonderful Heliconian staff (Peter Ramdeholl who took this photo)
and members for their help, and kindness, without which I couldn't have done it.
And major thanks to my husband and family for helping wrap the large paintings and load them in the van, and for help with the lovely classical music playlist. 

Have a loving your life day!
