I've dropped off the blogger map for a while because of a silly amount of travel: teaching in Mexico, learning in Philadelphia, and teaching two workshops for the Federation of Canadian Artists in Vancouver; all within 6 weeks.  It's not conducive to painting, but it sure has been fun.  But I'm settled back into my studio now and I won't come out for a good long time.
There are exciting things on the horizon for me, one of the biggest of which is the opening of the Roux and Cyr International Fine Art Gallery in Portland, Maine.  I was honoured to be invited to join the roster of artists from around the world whose work will hang in this gorgeous new space.  Thanks to Google maps street view, and pictures sent by artist and owner, Susan Roux, I've seen the 3000 square foot gallery from the inside and out.  Hopefully, someday I'll see it in person (when I decide to venture out of my studio again).
The grand opening of the gallery is May 24.  If you live in the area or are traveling through, I hope you'll stop in and check out the work and say hi to Susan for me.
