show at Agnes Bugera Gallery in Edmonton

I flew out to Edmonton this past saturday to attend the opening of my two person show at Agnes Bugera Gallery. Thankfully, not everyone had left town for the long weekend, and there was a steady stream of people stopping by.
I met Janice Ryan who had written a great review of the show for the Edmonton Journal.

It was great to have some meaningful conversations with people about the work.

A good time was had by all.

the best laid plans

Believe it or not, this is one canvas having gone through an extreme makeover artist edition. I started in March with this great idea: a collage of a vintage image of a woman looking very sad, juxtaposed with a dog leaving the area. It made perfect sense to me. However, as you can see, somewhere it all got lost in translation, and finally, just today in fact, I ended up with what I feel is a really good painting.
Phew!
Good thing I have learned a thing or two about surrender.
