In the last month I've had photos and paintings in two "shows". Pretty cool! The latest one was last weekend at the Toronto School of Art. This is where I take my night class in Painting 1 with instructor, Tom Campbell. Tom is what I would call an "art eccentric". He's got a sweet english accent, unruly hair and thick tortoise-shell glasses that constantly slide off his nose...but he sure knows art and has been a great teacher.
The open house was a showcase for all the students in each class to display their talents. I was chosen to put up one of my landscape paintings for the show. Here's me, beside my pic on the wall amongst others from my class. I kind of felt like I was back in kindergarten again when the teacher says, "good job!" and pins your drawing of a house on the bulletin board for the class to see. Gold star!
My website is almost complete now, just a few more paintings to put and and then I will let you all know the site. The next step, once I get up enough courage, is to go to some local hangouts and see if they are willing to display some of my stuff. 'Plan to quit day job' is in action!!
