As you can see it has been some time since I have written anything.

Too busy painting I guess.

Must get cracking and organize myself.  Seems to me I'm always
saying that and life just keeps moving on.

We had a wonderful day at the "Going National" a symposium put on by the
Canadian Society of Painters in Watercolour in Cambridge.  There was a good crowd and by
the sounds of it everyone enjoyed themselves.  Joanne Warren did a superb job
of organizing it and couldn't have pulled it together without Tina Price's hard work.

I'm expecting to have some more workshops in the future.  If there is anyone
that would be interested in a workshop in Burlington, let me know.  If there
are enough people I would find a venue.

I'm giving a workshop in watercolour at the Oakville Art Society on
Bronte Rd. in Oakville on March 9th and 10th , 2013.  Give them a call
or e-mail Mary and let her know if you would like to participate.

These days I'm engrossed in painting in acrylic.  I love watercolour but
there are some things that just cry out for acrylic or oil.  I find it a challenge
which is what we all need.  Without a challenge we get stale and our work
becomes just a repetition of the one before.  Try something that you think
you can't do.  It just might surprise you.

I promise to be more faithful to this blog and keep it up.

Merry Christmas to everyone and don't forget to ask for art supplies.

they have lined up.
