A great week.

I have so much to be grateful for:

• I painted my studio 'hot chocolate' by Benjamin Moore and I love it - it's cozy and I love how the colours of the paintings pop against the dark, warm colour.
• Delivered new work to Evanescence Gallery and saw Lisa Braun's 'Aviary' exhibit which is hanging with my 'Branching Out' series.  Funny story, on her way to the gallery opening on Friday, Lisa was delayed by a semi that had lost it's cargo - frozen chicken pieces.
• Was invited to exhibit at Cafe Koi in June, it's a beautiful space.
• An article about a new bookstore in Calgary was in the current issue of Avenue Magazine - one of my paintings was apparently the impetus for the store called 'Shelf Life Books' (it's featured on their homepage).  See page 19 of the January 2012 issue.
• An article I wrote awhile ago about being a 'Different' will be published on 'Your HeART makes a Difference' on January 31.

 

I am grateful for the wonderful people I've had the privilege to meet over the years and that I get to spend a lot of time with my daughters.  This has been a wonderful Christmas season and I'm looking forward to the year ahead.
