Scenes from "International Women Celebrate!"

In a January post I wrote about my participation in the show "International Women Celebrate!"  click here.   I received an email from fellow blogger Nicki Ault, with pictures from the show in Ayr, Ontario.  I was thrilled to be able to get a glimpse of the exhibit.  My piece, Circle of Friends, is the lower left painting.

And, I'm pleased to say that the piece has sold to a couple from Ayr.  All of the works can be viewed via the AyrSpace website or here:  http://ayrspace.ca/iwc

 These are shots of AyrSpace Gallery from the front and back.

Here's part of the main wall.  The pieces were hung alphabetically.  If you're not familiar with Nicki's work, check out her blog:  http://nickiault.blogspot.com  Thank you Nicki for sending these to me!

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.
