All Embracing–Coming to West End Gallery
People from a planet without flowers would think we must be mad with joy the whole time to have such things about us.
–Iris Murdoch, A Fairly Honourable Defeat (1970)
I am using this time this morning to remind you of my upcoming schedule:
- Three weeks from today, on Saturday, September 27, beginning at 1 PM, I will be giving a Gallery Talk at the Principle Gallery in Alexandria, VA. Keep an eye out here for more updates in the next couple of weeks. As you may know, there is the possibility of a painting being given away at these Talks.
- My annual solo show, this year titled Guiding Light, opens on Friday, October 17, at the West End Gallery in Corning, NY. The Opening Reception for the show runs from 5-7 PM.
- On Saturday, November 1, I will be giving a Gallery Talk at the West End Gallery in Corning, NY, beginning at 11 AM. Again, keep an eye out for details and for possible prizes!
Hope to see you at one of these events.
I woke up with a song in my head. It was a version of the Tom Petty song Wildflowers performed by The Wailin’ Jennys. They are a trio that began performing together in Winnipeg, Canada back in 2002.
This is a fine rendition of Petty’s song. It has stuck in my head for quite a while, if you need some proof. But then again, I hold onto all kinds of stuff in my head that doesn’t mean much to anyone else…

How could I have missed this song for so many years? Flowers and boats? It’s a winner!
Thanks, Linda. Makes you wonder how much good stuff is out there that we’ve missed. I guess that’s the way it ought to be. Otherwise, we’d never be pleasantly surprised by something we stumble across. Who wants that?
I was at the West End Gallery yesterday and saw Moment Revealed from last year’s show and was taken by it and bought it. Thanks!
Oh, thank you, Lucy. That is a piece that really speaks to me, reminding me of the small moments that make up and enrich our lives. Those moments that sometimes go by unnoticed because we are too busy looking for something great and grand. As Virginia Woolf put it, those “little daily miracles, illuminations, matches struck unexpectedly in the dark.” All good things to you, Lucy!
That is exactly what I thought when I saw it.
