And it is great to be home, even though I was very jet-lagged yesterday, had a hard time concentrating. It is a good thing I have such an enthusiastic group of students Tuesday mornings! I don't have to work too hard to fire them up. They do it all by themselves.
It was a good trip, good show, good people, lots of fun. The gallery owners are wonderful people, met me at the airport, took us out to dinner to a great Thai restaurant (this was a three person exhibit, Wayne Boucher and Susan Feindel as well as myself), went to a party afterwards, etc. On Sunday I went to the studio of an ex-Haligonian and saw lots of other Edmontonian artists' work (in the same building) and then we went to the Edmonton Art Gallery. Fun & Games.
After that I went back to the B & B and watched a couple of movies (The English Patient�had read the book but not seen the movie�and The Divine Secrets of the Ya-Ya Sisterhood�light, fluffy and entertaining enough) and read (The Confessions of Max Tivoli--more about that later, a strange and unusually good book). Very relaxing considering it was such a short trip.
Fortunately I get Friday off from teaching because of Easter. My Friday class is not the best, very good students but unusually quiet. I can never know what they are really thinking. I�ve never had a class this reticent. But they do work hard and that is good.
Right now I am looking forward to some uninterrupted time in my studio. And now that the weather is turning milder, to some long walks in the country where I live.
Here are some pix of my part of the exhibit:
The exhibit looks excellent! And I'm sure it's much better to see it in person. I sent our gallery coordinator to your site. Perhaps someday we can see about getting an exhibit here. My office is right next to the gallery space in this building. I'd love the color!
