The month of October is galloping to a close already. It’s hard to believe that 2 months from today will be Christmas day !

So much to do and so little time………………..

My show at Artspeak Gallery closed last Sunday. I was quite pleased that both the Windsor Star and Le Rempart (French language) newspapers interviewed me and wrote good reviews. The turnout at the Friday reception was awesome in spite of pouring rain. Over the course of the evening about 150 people came and went and another 100 or so dropped by the next day at my “Artist in Attendance”.

I think the good press helped create a bit of curious buzz. To my great  delight, 19 encaustics were sold at the show. And one person came to my studio the next day looking for a large canvas for the dining room in the new home she’s building. She fell in love with this 36″ x 60″ Red Colorscape and snapped it up right away.

This past week has gone by in a blur. Monday and Tuesday was spent reorganizing after the show and delivering paintings to clients.

Then Wednesday morning I drove the 300 miles to Toronto for my annual pilgrimage to  the Toronto International Art Fair to overload my senses and eyeballs with world class art, see artist friends, network with dealers and just soak up the excitement.  I was also able to meet with my dealer, Leonardo Gallery in Yorkville to plan what I’ll showing for an upcoming 4-person Winter show there.

Tomorrow morning, it’s back into the studio - energized and eager to tackle new paintings.
