Notes From My Easel

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas; at least in my studio.

My newest print is titled “Ancaster” and as the name implies, it is a view of the beautiful old Town Hall on a Winter’s evening with the overtones of Christmas evidenced by the Christmas ornamentation and Victorian Carolers. Chaucer and Catya make an appearance again in this scene as does the love of my life, Lennie. Yes, the man that I met in Hawai’i is here on vacation right now. Some of my friends say that we are doing it backwards – spending the summer months in Hawai’i and the winter here in Canada, but Christmas with snow is still very appealing.

Once again I will be hosting my annual “holiday studio tour and toy drive” please visit the website: www.holidaystudiotour.com This year I have added a Hawai’ian artist to my tour here in Hamilton, Ontario. I am importing hand made jewelry in the form of chocolate south sea shell pearls. 18″ strands of these beautiful 8,10 & 12mm pearls in shades from dark chocolate to light gold with matching earrings will also be available at my home/studio.

By the way, this is my 10th anniversary of prints. (Where did the years go?) But, what better way to celebrate than by including a bonus print in the form of a detail from the larger print that you can either keep or give as a gift.
