Hello again. Sorry I've been so long gone. It's just that I feel that I jinxed our region by posting that it was hot and ever since we've had cool weather. Certainly unseasonably cool anyway. But today it got up to 23 C (that's 73.4 ºF) which is lovely, but not exactly July weather (even here in Owen Sound, Ontario, Canada). However, it is a definite improvement so I am apologizing to the weather witches or whoever I cheesed off. So now, can we please have similar weather on Saturday.
Why? you say. Because that is Art in the Garden and Jeff wants to have 3 prints for folks to view. Also we are putting some of the cards into a frame to demonstrate how reasonably priced real art can be.
The "Glass Hat Ladies" is one instalment piece that Bill Loney created in the little bit of Heaven at KeppelCroft Gardens where the Art in the Garden is held. Bill, who along with his lovely wife, Dawn, has created acres of gardens that will just bowl you over. Bill's whimsical pieces accent acres of lovely gardens. And you can see "Dude" the goose and the guinea hens and sheep and just lots and lots of art by local artists who are incredibly talented and real nice folks to boot.
We got the idea from our Executive Director at Canadian Mental Health Association -- Grey Bruce who did just that and it is stunning, if I say so myself. And I do.
The Opening went well at River Café. Here is a map if you're in town, stop by for a coffee and a snack (yummy!)
The Owen Sound Sun Times' Bill Henry put up a wonderful slide show (even though Glow is upside down -- it's not Bill's fault as it was upside down on the CD). If you'd like a little peek at Jeff's wonderful work go here.
Oh one more thing, Jeff's webpage should be up today or tomorrow. Please have a peek and let us know what you think. Visit Mythic Landscape. And thanks from both of us.
