A Trip to Trfalgar Square

…taking in The National Gallery and Canada House

On Friday we headed down to the Theatre District. We were gifted tickets to see a show at the Harold Pinter Theatre. We had a few hours before the show started so we walked towards Trafalgar Square.

Canada House sits next to the Square so we decided to step inside to take in the Hannah Claus exhibit. She is an indigenous artist from the Montreal area.

When entering Canada House, security is high and it’s like going through the airport without having to show a passport.

We also explored the National Gallery which is directly across the street from Canada House. We were interested in seeing the featured show but at £27 each we decided to stick to the galleries that were free. We headed straight to the Impressionists Rooms. I was not disappointed. Many of my favourite artists, including Van Gogh, Monet, Degas and Rousseau had work hung in these rooms.

…taking in two great shows

The first show featured indigenous artists. It is called REDefined: voices from Turtle Island. Here are a few of my favourite pieces.

The second show was in the Ruth Upjohn Gallery where Kate Greenway featured her beautiful watercolours.

I purchased this one

A Walk Through the Gallery

….at WAAC

It was a beautiful day. We had the doors wide open at the gallery waiting for my guests and the public to arrive. The wine was chilling and my hostess, Mary had prepared the platters of sweets and nibbles. Here is a quick tour of the gallery.

The afternoon started out slowly but my guests started to arrive and the wine started to flow. The public also started to come through the doors. It was wonderful catching up with friends and family and I loved meeting new people. My cards were a big hit and several paintings and photographs sold. Here is where I was able to add red dots.
