So pleased to announce my upcoming show "A Silent Trust" at Galerie Art Plus, opening July 4 and on 'till August 4. The vernissage is Saturday July 6 from 2 - 5pm and it would be a pleasure to see you.<br />
Started 3 years ago [2016], these paintings have had a more than a few lives. I've put on paint, scrapped and sanded off paint, added more paint, added thinner layers of paint, all the while trying to find the why that these works needed to be paint and not some other material. I had a sense of why but I kept loosing it, but as they say "she persisted" and here I am.<br />

So I started ripping and tearing with the intent of putting the pieces in the garbage; but then I noticed the torn edges of the paper and started to play. One step forward, 2 steps back for the studio clean up.<br />

I wanted to let you know that Rebelles / Rebelles opens this Thursday, Nov2, at Galerie Art Plus in Sutton; all the works are small format and all are 9 in x 9 in framed. I will be exhibiting new work from my ongoing exploration of light and shadow. Hope to see you there; the vernissage is Saturday, November 4 from 2 - 5 pm.<br />

Yesterday though was one of those days when you could smell spring and I can't wait.</span><br />

And it was fun, and exciting and it went through a lot of drafts, and still didn't end up quite as I imagined.<br />

It seemed fitting that J. and I finished off 2016 with flu and colds; that meant a very quiet holiday time with brief spurts in the studio and a lot of time reading and watching <i>The West Wing</i>. I walked into the studio this morning to the best winter light, strongly slanted, almost reaching the far wall and it made my heart sing. So for 2017 I wish for all of us more heart singing, along with the usual wishes of health and goodwill.<br />
