Gray mist laying over the hills like lacy negligee, the shapes showing seductively here or there, as I travel the valley to Penticton. I have the pleasure of teaching Adult Basic Education to a wonderful class of students. The journey itself takes an hour but I play CD’s of Buddhist thought to train my mind. I may begin to listen to my french CD’s next week.

Meanwhile I had work in the Penticton Art Gallery show to encourage critical thinking about the Olympics. The Salmon Arm Art Gallery  show of Post Card Art has two of my works on display. In addition, the Learning Centre at Okanagan College on KLO Road has my large pieces on display. They look wonderful in the space. On Saturday, I will have art, crafts for display at Conduit, an evening event at the Rotary Centre for the Arts. The Conduit show goes from 4 pm until 1 pm Saturday night.

My Class on Digital Photographic art is coming up in May through UBC-Okanagan’s Continuing Studies Program.

Sandon’s Dharma lesson tonight was “Saying Stop to the elephant of delusion.” He encouraged us to stand in front of the charging, delusional thought, put up a hand and say, “Stop.” Each time we see the large, looming ego thoughts, we have to recognize them and make an attempt to stop the stampede.

Yellow tulips are on the chest of drawers, calling out to spring. All is new. I am moving into a new space, a new life. To be willing to not know the direction that my life is moving, is difficult. To release expectations and live in the now is challenging. I soften to now. I work on my poetry and my art. I work on my life.

Preparing for the show in Vienna is exciting and challenging. First of all there is the difficulty of artists from around the world communicating. The languages we are working through are English, German and French. In addition, there is the issue of the language which we each speak in our art.

There is a tension between that which is “spelled out” and that which is left to the viewer. Jean Francois Provost does mixed media pieces that are textured abstracts. This Quebec artist has an impressive bio.:

Preparing ten pieces to fill the two story gallery space will be a challenge and I have to think carefully about how to best select pieces that make a group statement while not breaking our financial back at the same time. Also, the tentative name for the show is Disparate Voices or some spin on that. I have to work that through so that I can compose a concept statement in English. Jean Francois will compose the French and Matthias is in charge of the German rendition.

Cameron will be playing bass at the opening with a local, accomplished guitar player. Perhaps they will have the opportunity to skype in the coming weeks.

So much to do. I have to bring order to the house, pick up art work today for sale at a local gallery, finish my paperwork for the UBC O payroll people and tonight the joyful opportunity to pick up the Heritage Conservation Award from Kelowna’s Heritage Society.
