I am thrilled to be a part of the upcoming show International Women Celebrate! at the AyrSpace Gallery in Ayr, Ontario, Canada. The exhibit celebrates the centenary of International Women's Day and shows the work of over 100 women from around the world. I painted "Circle Of Friends" in early December and am packing it up this week for shipping.
When thinking about what to paint for this event I kept thinking about women throughout history and women around the globe sharing stories, sharing their lives, sharing tea. How this sharing often is, or was, around a table, around a fire, in a sewing circle, in a group, but, with a circle of friends. The show opens in early March and lasts five weeks. If you're going to be in Ayr, Ontario I hope you'll attend. Part of the proceeds from the sale of the paintings will go to orphans in Haiti.

Pam, Love the painting, love the idea behind it, and love the purpose of the exhibit! Congrats, and wish that I could be there!
Beautiful piece, Pam. Congratulations on being in this show. I love all of the teacups and creamers.
Thanks for your visit to my blog and your comment. Hope you will return soon. I am sure I could learn a lot from you about teaching art. I've only been at it 3 years (and I'm 59 years old). I taught 3rd grade before that for many years. I love teaching art to kids. They are open for just about anything.
Hi Pam,
I hope you are going to be there. I'd love to meet you! The painting is absolutely beautiful, and perfect too. We women are a civilized bunch.

Hi Pam,
I didn't realize you were part of the collaboration! Congratulations! This painting is wonderful and it is true... one of my favorite things to do is gather with my sisters, girlfriends and mom to visit, laugh and sometimes cry.
I just booked my tickets with air miles- I'm going for the artist's weekend preview! I can't wait- I'll get to see your work in person.

Linda, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!
Thank you Nancy, I wish that I could be there, too!
Natalie, Thanks. I love all the teacups, too. I'm glad to be using them for this particular venue.
Thank you Janie. Yes, teaching art is about the greatest job there is! I loved just about ever minute of it!
Barbara, Thank you. Sadly, I am not going to be able to travel so far. But, I will be there in spirit. Maybe this could become a traveling international show!
Thank you Nicki, So great that you can get to the show! What a great use of miles.. Please take and post lots of photos!
Congrats on the show! Your painting looks like a party waiting for the guests to arrive, no doubt a group of ladies. I love scenes that suggest the human element without the humans in it.
Fabulous painting,Pam. Congratulations on the show, I hope it's a smashing success.
Katherine, Thanks so much. It was fun setting this scene up! I should have invited some ladies over we I finished painting!
Thank you Kelley, I hope it's a success, too. For me, this piece was successful, so that's really important.
Now THIS IS ABSOLUTELY STUNNING!!!!
WOW WOW WOW!!!! Congratulations on a wonderful painting and on helping others!
Congratulations on the show I love the painting and the title.
Marian, Thank you so, so much!!
Irit, Thank you!!!
