Getting down to the nitty gritty. We’re off to the hanging! Sounds morbid, but its not. I have ten new paintings for the Markham Art Show that I call my “Micro Duos”. All painted in pairs, and each one a mere 12″ x 16″ canvas size. All abstract acrylic in my core style. They’re about to be hung at the show’s gallery space.
Tomorrow is the Opening Reception at 6:00 pm. Come to 74 Main Street in Markham, next to the Lemon Bistro. Wine and nibblies, plus tons of great artwork. See you there!

The show that keeps on giving. Held twice a year, the Markham Art Show provides a bit of culture during the Festival of Lights and Santa Parade. Many patrons visit this showcase of local talent and artwork is priced to sell for you to pick up a holiday gift that no one else owns.
Are you coming? Of course you are!

Be sure to visit the Varley Art Gallery in Unionville and see the latest exhibit, the Automatiste Revolution: Montreal 1941-1960.
Click here to read more info.
It is a fascinating exhibit of avant-garde works from this little-known Canadian institution, enveloping visual, literary and performing arts.
A must-see for artists and art lovers.
