Thanks to all who came out on Saturday to the St. Barnabas Christmas Market. We welcomed lots of shoppers through the vendor aisles. It was great to see art aficionados in person again.

This was a successful market for me. It seems my Christmas ornaments were very popular. I sold out of the streetcar themes. That will keep me busy creating new ones for the next Christmas Market in less than two weeks.

For anyone who missed St. Barnabas, drop by my booth at the Very Merry Market at Eastminster United Church on November 20th from 10am to 4pm. 310 Danforth Ave., Toronto, near Chester subway station. This show does have a $5 admission fee with all admission proceeds going to Animal Justice, Toronto. Their website explains what they do. Be warned that the website can be disturbing to look at. It has that affect on me yet I am glad that there are people out there advocating for the humane treatment of animals.

The AGS Show this past Saturday/Sunday November 5/6 at the Centennial Recreation Centre.

After the successful St. Barnabas Market, I had a not-so-successful Art Guild of Scarborough Show. Although there were some sales among the various artists, such was not the case for me at this fall show. Having done art shows for a few years now, I know that “some days you’re the windshield, some days you’re the bug” (to quote local portrait artist, Brian Smith). It’s just the way it goes. All that said, its still enjoyable to be out meeting and mingling with fellow artists and art lovers.

My next group show is the Don Valley Art Club’s Holiday Art Show at the beautiful Todmorden Mills Papermill Gallery. I’ll be dropping off my painting there tonight as the gallery prepares for Wednesday’s opening. Lots of great art to view both in person and online at this show.

Thanks for dropping by my blog!

Cheers!
