…getting ready for the Black and White Show
It’s been awhile since I painted anything. I’ve used a medium that I’ve only dabbled in. These two pieces are made with charcoal and ink. I still need to name them. If you can think of anything I would definitely consider it.
Both are framed and matted in a 11″x14″ frame.

A stand alone piece of art at the Small Gems Show at WAAC in Toronto by Susan Farquhar.
…a very busy week
Today. Kevin and I are participating in a Holiday Gift Fair at Montgomery’s Inn. Originally I was only going to display our photo and art cards and a few small paintings but I decided to fill in the display with some Christmas items that I whipped up in the last few days. Here is a sample of what’s going on our table.
On Friday I’m going to Women’s Art, downtown to help set up the next show called Small Gems. It’s our annual fundraiser where all the art is small and costs no more than $400.00 but averages at about $120.00. I’m submitting three pieces from my last show so all the hard work is done. Saturday is the official opening reception which I will also be attending.

…To Bury the Truth
A trio of paintings with a somber message. These pieces were done by an indigenous artist, Amber Smith Quail that I have had the privilege to get to know this past year. They are part of her show at WAAC called Nawemaa / to be related.
If you have any trios you’d like to share, serious or funny, please copy my link and post it into your post. I’ll get a pingback and will be sure to check it out.

…Saturday was the official opening reception for Artist’s Choice at WAAC
Last week I helped install this wonderful show. There were close to 90 pieces of art that needed to be hung. The installation team worked really well together and after about five hours all the pieces found a new home in the Dignam Gallery at WAAC.
On Saturday I went to the gallery to gallery sit from 11:00 to 1:00 and then the reception took place from 1:00 to 4:00. The turnout was amazing and I spoke to many visitors who asked about my art. Here are some of the highlights of the day.
Here are some of the artists and their guests.

The last two weeks have been very busy for me, mostly with my art show. Preparing the art itself over the last two months has been a busy time but hanging the show, preparing for the opening, driving to the gallery six times to meet with friends, and then taking the show down and packing it up has taken up hours of time. Now I have to deliver the pieces that were sold. I’m exhausted but in a good way.
Of course life goes on in between trips to the gallery. I started baking again at the Inn, I played Bridge with a group of friends, attended a Zoom meeting for the Exhibition Committee at WAAC, paid bills and for three days in a row I helped prepare the lawn bowling rink to get ready for the opening of our season. Things that didn’t get done were housework, laundry and gardening. This morning I started to clean up the back garden and filled up one bag of yard waste. It’s a start.
