Belated Happy New Year! I hope that your Christmas lived up to your dreams. We enjoyed our holiday very much, as this year Cathy was not working and Daniel was home from university so we were all together at Christmas.

I came across this quote a few days ago, “Anyone who thinks that gardening begins in the Spring and ends in the Autumn is missing the best part of the whole year; for gardening begins in January with the dream.” So many good things begin with a dream. Our dreams serve as inspirations. They give us hope. Even in the darkest times they remind us of who we are. As the snow swirls around outside on this cold and somewhat dreary Saturday, I dream of sunny days spent in our garden or in fields of wildflowers and in turn dream of the paintings I will make of them here in my studio. I have to agree. The dream is the best part of both gardening and art making. Do you agree?

 

                   

 

 As some of you may know. I am an elected member of the Ontario Society Of Artists. This Non Profit organization was founded in 1872 and is Canada’s longest continuing art society.

The OSA Western Hub is exhibiting at St. Thomas Elgin Art Centre from February 22 to April 5 with an Artists’ Reception taking place on April 5th. I will have two paintings in this exhibition. I hope to see many of you there. It is a wonderful opportunity to see fabulous art from across this part of our province.
