It's 2 weeks today & with family here from Ontario & a 6 day trip to the Okanagan I have to cook with gas to get ready for my next show. Luckily I'm somewhat organized from the last one and will be inside in the same room as last year. Familiarity is a bonus when it comes to participating in art shows, I've decided. All I have to do is get some matting and finishing on some paintings and organize the packing up the day before. That means I can enjoy the next week away!

Here's the details for Minnekhada--it'll be great fun & I hope to see you there!
