What's New?

Hi again!

It's been a long time.  It was a busy Spring and Summer with lots of
family situations to look after but now things are looking up.

I have a new website.  It is www://fratesifineart.ca.  Hoping it is working
well by now.  Had a little problem in getting it to come up in Google.  If at
first you can't access it, please keep trying.  Now to get new cards made up.

I've been painting as often as I can.  Large canvases, small ones and in between.
Many of my larger pieces have been sold(thanks to the AGB and Artspace Gallery.
I have to get busy and paint, paint, paint!  If you have time, take a trip to Oakville
to Artspace Gallery.  It is a wonderfully quaint old home filled with beautiful
art and you will find Chazz very welcoming and helpful.


Next weekend, the 7th and 8th of November is the Art in Action tour in Burlington.
I will be in Waterdown at Studio 8, 23 Main St.  Hoping to see you there.
We have 9 studios and  29 artists all with wonderful new pieces to show you.
Also there is an exhibition of the Art in Action artists at the AGB that is on now
Take a trip there to see it and to browse the Art Etc. shop as well as all the other
interesting art the Gallery holds.

I love this time of year and am sad to see the beautiful coloured leaves falling.
There has been so much red and gold this season.  It invites you to take long
walks and breathe in deeply the crisp, clean air.  Gardening chores take up time
but it is such good exercise.  Remember to take a break when you are painting to
stretch and maybe run up and down the stairs a couple of times.  Have to stay
healthy.

I will be teaching watercolour painting at Oakville Art Society in January for four
weeks.  Always good to see up and coming artists and when you are teaching,
you are also learning.  The company of other artists can be such an inspiration.

Looking forward to seeing you on the Art in Action tour next weekend and hope
you are all painting up a storm.  Remember, perseverance will reward you
just keep painting.
