What a fantastic week it has been. I decided to get more involved with the Dundas Valley School of Art's annual auction. I spent four days with a fantastic group of volunteers hanging about 1500 pieces of art by over a hundred artists. It was hard work but a great experience. I also acted as a room monitor for four hours and chatted with many of the patrons wandering through. I am only sorry that I didn't get more involved years ago.
We went to the live auction Saturday night and the school was jammed. Debbie bought a ceramic serving plate and I bought a wonder little painting of Desjardins canal painted by Ann Kelly Walsh.
I had two paintings in the silent auction. I sold one of the two and in hindsight the second was not one of my best paintings and probably shouldn't have been submitted in the first place. The one that sold is shown here. It is always sad to say goodbye to a painting because they are all snapshots of my life and there are many memories wrapped up in each and every one.
I am submitting two paintings to the Burlington Fine art Association annual juried show. I would love to have a painting in this show again this year.
I am off to paint this afternoon. It is a warm fall day and sunny with cloudy periods so it should be perfect.
