Tomorrow I will be imagining the McMichael staff bustling about with hanging our Progressions VI exhibition. This exhibition was painted by 29 artists in the Pine Cottage at McMichael in September. All paintings are 12x16" and will hang for 3 months on the walls between Gallery 1 and Gallery 2. It is indeed a thrill to be included in this exhibition held at such a prestigious gallery. My third time.

My painting "Buttonbush 2" is a reprisal in 12x16" size of "Buttonbush" which is 12x12". The 12x12 is currently for sale with others of my paintings at Dragonfly Arts on Broadway in Orangeville, Ontario. As the Buttonbush 2 has yet to be photographed, here is a picture of Buttonbush:

The buttonbush is a native Canadian plant that grows in moist areas. The flower is a strange but delightful hairy golfball. The hairy petals eventually fall off and a lovely round reddish ball containing the developing seeds remains through fall.
