Good morning - this weekend I am part of an art exhibition called
Art Quest organized by Lynda Lombardi an encaustic artist.  Lynda
and I work at our studios in the same building called Rock Bay Square
on Bridge Street in Victoria.  This exhibition is a combination of 
emerging and established artists who will be presenting paintings,
photography, mixed media, encaustics, sculptures and turned wood.
Come and join us at 1600 Cook Street across from Gallery 1580 and
enter on Mason Street through the garden gate.
Dates and Times:   Friday, May 15, 4-8 p.m.
                                         Saturday, May 16, noon-5 p.m.
We look forward to sharing our art and enthusiasm with all who
pass through the gate.  See you there.

Finally I can share how beautiful it is in our part of the world which
is always inspirational.  I felt uncomfortable sharing how gorgeous
it has been these past couple of months when the rest of the country
was still covered in snow.

I am now back in the studio regularly and enjoying exploring
new textures, surfaces and materials.  I am going to begin painting
with oils again after a huge break and I will see where they will
take me.  

The energy of the birds and flowers and new foliage seeps over
to ourselves and we blossom and grow as well.
