The July flood of my studio, for all of the work, disruption and stress it caused us, has had the unexpected result of forcing me to take stock, to get rid of things I no longer use or value, to repurpose what I can and to clean and reorganize. My studio is now a wonderful place in which to create. I am very grateful. I am a participating artist in the London Artists’ Studio Tour 2025 so you may wish to see it for yourself.

       

 

November’s dark mornings and early evenings lend themselves to thinking, planning and reminiscing. I plan fall menus while cocooning under snuggly blankets and think about how the fallen leaves look like crumble toppings of oats and brown sugar and cinnamon. Fall has always been my favourite season. As John Burroughs said, “How beautifully leaves grow old. How full of light and colour are their last days.” Light and colour. Growing old beautifully. Goals to reach for.

Light and colour are both to be had if you visit the following:

The Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour Open Water 99 Exhibition where you will find the 40 selected paintings chosen by the jurors from 242 submissions from 9 countries. I am honoured to have had my painting selected. This is the fifth consecutive Open Water in which I have been selected to exhibit.

As always, thank you for your interest in my work and for your support. Enjoy the remaining soft quiet days befor the intensity of the Christmas season arrives.

Take care and happy creating.
