I hope you had a great Christmas Season and are having a wonderful start to the 2018 New Year. I spent a cold Christmas in Terrace with my Mother in her lovely home playing cribbage and eating far too well. Then yesterday was gifted some local lemons and enjoyed a musical evening with friends. Today a great walk in the forest. Not sure life can be much better. I hope yours is full of great moments too.
The show runs from January 5 to February 1, Tuesday to Saturday 10 - 5 pm.
at the Martin Bachelor Gallery 712 Cormorant Street in Victoria.
Walks Saturday mornings January 13 and 20, 9:30 and 1030 a walk about at Francis/King Park. Join me for a slow wander of discovery, meet at the Nature House.RSVP for January 13. RSVP for January 20.
Wild Anticipation is about the wild places that wise people recognized the need to preserve for those of us now on the planet, and those to come later. The paintings in this show are my experience of those beautiful wild places, some nearby and some far away. My hope is that the works will inspire you to an even deeper appreciation of wild places near and far and perhaps even become involved in preserving them.
During the exhibition there will be information displays from a number of great organizations I have worked with (HAT, VNHS, EFI-wildwood, St. John's Point, Wild BC and Nature Saskatchewan- the force behind the creation of Grasslands National Park!).
Winter Studio Classes. DAYTIME CLASSES ARE NOW FULL. $360.00 for 12 sessions.
EVENING CLASS? I have had some interest in an evening class. If this interests you let me know. I could do a Monday or Wednesday evening class.
