Easter week approaches its finish already! This joyful season set at the equinox as the days lengthen into a very welcome spring, celebrates new life. I think everyone is very tired of snow. I am certainly tired of ice. The pathway to the swimming pool has been invaded again and I am not much good at skating.
A joyful little waterfall
“Joyful” aptly describes this little waterfall adorning a small stream within the Mackenzie King Estate in the Gatineau Hills of Ontario. My husband and I visited the park a very long time ago. A photo takes years to incubate sometimes. While researching new inspiration for my obsession with water, I stumbled upon this old image in my collection. Little streams like this one make my soul sing. So, this painting now numbers among the creations in my series named “Source”.
Balancing act
As an artist, I wish to show my work so I apply to all sorts of different venues. Never certain of acceptance, lately, I have had to refuse one or two. Now I am juggling images wondering if I can avoid double dipping. Committing one image to two different venues does not really display good management. My joyful discovery of Artworks Archive is worth celebrating and I highly recommend it to anyone trying to keep things in order.
Upcoming exhibitions
“Joyful” will be part of two exhibitions coming up in May and June. In the meantime, Duo (my collaboration with Doris Charest) has a show at the Walterdale Theatre from 15 to 25 April. Anyone who joins us at the reception on 14 April at 6:30pm can also join us for the preview of the latest play “Waiting for the Parade”. So looking forward to that! I also have a solo show at the Zyp Art Gallery in Calmar from 24 April to 31 July this year.
