A Day in the City

Tuesday I headed down to Toronto as I was long overdue to deliver new work to The Village Gallery.....always a pleasant experience as I've mentioned previously how much I like both Megan and Alison.  You simply can't ask for a better representing gallery as they are both so supportive and kind.  My sister came with me and afterward we headed out to this fabulous raw food restaurant  called Raw Aura.  Last year when the gallery had it's opening of Bloom they had Raw Aura cater it and the food was amazing.

Laurie and I ordered the "big salad" which consisted of romaine lettuce, kale, red onion, chickpeas, mixed seeds and avacado.......big time yummy!

I've really come to love Port Credit with all the small shops and galleries.  Lots of condos going up....I guess if I was dreaming big time I'd keep my home here and buy one of these as well........

Although "retirement living" isn't on my immediate radar, these condos look gorgeous.  Then if the dream continued I'd be eating here every night.....

When I got home yesterday the heat was almost unbearable....lots of humidity and crazy storm clouds overhead.  Our power cut out at 2:30pm and then the wind gusts and rain began........really fierce

  Our power was finally restored around 9:30 a.m. and which makes me a happy girl.  Today I'm back in the studio as I've got to finish up work for The Matilda Swanson Gallery.....

Fabulous Opening of Bloom at The Village Gallery

Big, big thanks go out to Alison and Megan for such a lovely opening at The Village Gallery on Saturday. The attention to detail was so impressive....everything from the fresh cut flowers to the extraordinary treats provided by Raw Aura.  

Last week I had sent down jpegs of my three newest pieces which are mixed media on canvas in the hopes that they would agree to take them,  as the new work is a departure from what I have been doing in the past and happily enough,  they loved them and yes, will be carrying them in the gallery.  They will be photographed and hung this week.  

Ran into an old friend from high school and a few of her friends that she had brought along and we all went out to lunch with my sister and brother in law.  We decided on Raw Aura just because the treats at the gallery were so amazing .... we weren't disappointed.  Highly recommended.  Here's three of the desserts we ordered and split....

Chocolate Avacado Cake...my fave

Strawberry Cheesecake without the cheese

Some Banana Chocolate Thing...good

Unfortunately my other brother in law and sister in law arrived about 15 minutes after I left the gallery so I didn't get a chance to hang out with them which is too bad as I always enjoy their company.  I heard from Gregor that Megan gave both of their kids a freezi ... now that's a great gallery...prepared for anything.

Check out The Village Gallery for more photos and yes, I am in one of them.   I'm the one wearing the red jacket holding a water botttle

The Village Gallery Spring Show

If your around the area on April 24th,  please drop by the gallery to take in beautiful art and eat some amazing organic snacks by Raw Aura....  at The Village Gallery...

On a side note:  to all your Lost fans out there...loved the whole parallel universe thing last night between Locke/Desmond.
