Spring is on its way. Can you feel the energy? It has been an unusually exciting winter for me, having had the solo exhibition Hills and Meadows at Dragonfly Arts on Broadway in Orangeville. I have just finished a commission that came out of that show. See below for the picture of Down in the Meadow. It is 24"x30". The travelling group exhibition Progressions V has hung at Queen Elizabeth Park Community Cultural Centre all winter. Eventually this exhibition will stop at the McMichael Canadian Collection in Kleinberg.

I love the blue in the bands of the sky. Hard to resist using it. "Any colour as long as it's blue" makes me smile. Why do some of us love blue so much? This spring, the meadow should burst into bloom (since the plants are 3 years old) and I will have some unique resource material-- Not that it will probably make much difference since in my imagination it is always billowing with beautiful colours. Technically this would be a fall painting since the poplars are yellow and the sumacs have turned red. Beautiful blue skies ahead make it all good!
