Congratulations and thanks to Christiane on purchasing my mixed-media painting “Under Peruvian Skies”. This painting has deep spiritual meaning to me and my wife. I took the photograph after finishing a gruelling 4-day hike along the Inca Trail in Peru to reach our goal of Machu Picchu. The Gods listened as I begged for the strength to finish the hike – and boy was the vista worth it!
Last night’s Artist’s Reception for the Markham Arts Council’s Art Show was a success in that the gallery was wall-to-wall people. Fantastic given that we were all faced with a torrential downpour and incredible humidity. Our gallery air conditioning wasn’t up to par due to the door being open most of the night – moving some guests to the covered porch outside. However there was plenty of food and wine to please everyone, and of course some great art by our local artists.
I had positive responses to my exhibit and also to my new “lotus” brand – thank you to all your kind words.
Thanks again to all who attended the event. The Art Show runs through to June 7. See you there.

Yes, when I look at that painting I am filled with a mixture of awe and pride. The whole quest to hike the Inca Trail had different meanings for both of us but the reward at the end of the long, hard journey- the incredible, breathtaking views and pure stunning astonishment at the magnificent Machu Picchu construction leaves one speechless. The Gods were listening to me as well….I prayed for a cold beer and pizza when we got to Aquas Calientes and we got it!!!!
