It's been a while since I blogged--sorry to those of you who regularly check back! I'll get into more of a routine now that all the exciting events of summer are over. August was one giant rush, wasn't it?

The show at Minnekhada went really well, especially the first day which was magnificent weather-wise. Sunday was a bit of a wash-out and I was very happy to be inside the Lodge that day. I was happy to sell a couple of originals, a few books and cards and magic lists and a magic bag, and even a fairy cave! As well I was offered a million dollars for my last magic pencil, and was only able to resist since I already had a million dollar bill (from the magician who was entertaining the crowds both days!). One little boy kept coming back, trying to entice me to sell the magic pencil (it changes colour in your hands) because he was just enchanted by it. I'll have to look for a supplier as the kids just go wild for them!

Looking back on the summer I am delighted to have sold about 10 original paintings, mostly newer ones, and have sold a canvas reproduction of my mermaid painting with some more ordered. (Limited edition, all signed and numbered, available almost any size you want--for pricing just email or call--anywhere from $50 to $300! The biggest so far is 30" X 30", I've got a 20" X 20" one coming, and another 12" X 12" to show as a sample too. The original, on silk, is 14" X 14" and I think I have a buyer for her.) Very exciting to see the mermaids flying out of here!

My next public show will be December 3, 4, 5, 2010 at Dogwood Pavilion, Poirier Street, Coquitlam--although if you'd like a private showing before that just contact me to arrange it. I'll be heading to Australia shortly after that, December 8, until March. Between now and December I'll be working on getting my 2011 calendar selections ready and printed, and out for sale, along with creating some more beautiful paintings. I might even dabble in another silk painting course, and see what I can create there.

Stay tuned!
