Penticton Art Gallery now has two pieces of mine for their pre-Christmas sale, I will be in a show at the Rotary Centre for the Arts for three days November 12th on, then the next week Gallery Vertigo is letting me have a show at the Kalamalka Campus. Summerland Art Gallery is holding a pre-Christmas sale of art cards and books which has motivated me to get producing again.

Hand made books are a real pleasure to create and I want to have three or four more ready for Gallery Vertigo’s book store.

This thursday I will be in the Rotary Centre for our First Thursday Open house. Last month 30 students from UBC attended and it was lovely to have a chance to meet the up and coming art teachers that will be inspiring students in the high schools and elmentary schools.

Meanwhile, I am organizing an all candidates meeting to get more interest in the election. Only 22% of citizens turned out at the last election and there seems to be a more prevasive kind of negative inertia in our town. People are quick to complain and critize but don’t go out to the cities open houses or respond to on line surveys. I guess it is human nature to have everything be alright until it seems to be all wrong. What about the place between?

Paint Shop Pro came bundled with my computer eleven years ago when I began and while I have not thrown money at technology to increase my agility as a computer based artist, I have spent six days a week for eleven years deepening my understanding of who I am, what I want from my work. Finding my voice has been very much about time and being open to discoveries.

What makes us like Stars on Ice?

Chipping the ice away from the back step, I thought to myself that in order to take steps you have to first see the steps. We in Kelowna’s North end are all clearing the way for ourselves to engage in a normal work a day world.

We have not had the snow plow down in our neck of the woods after each snow fall. Frequently the ice underlying the snow layers is treacherous. Greasy brown snow up to the hub caps presents the surface experience.

It is all in the technique. Some drive achingly slowly trying to adjust to the rush of adrenaline that comes when their tires find the grooves in the road that were created on a warmer day when we ventured out through deep snow. Evening freezing left trenches which lie beneath the surface. Others seems to believe that all obstacles should be met with bravado. Swinging out around the corners, they tear into the gas pedal to fly over obstacles. There are fragments of fenders by some of the stop signs in Knox Mountain village.

Ten more centimeters is predicated to fall in the next two days. I am going to be out of the shoveling game for a while because I managed to fracture the knuckle on one of my fingers from the weight of the snow.

Why are we like Stars on Ice? Because we need technique and we need awareness of conditions. The shoveling and dragging our legs through snow drifts has done much to condition the body. I put on my winter pants yesterday and the crotch was down between my knees. Now if I just pull my underwear up and tuck my shirt into it, I will be rad or cool or whatever it is the diaper wearing teenaged cohort calls it.
The school psychologist works to enhance the performance level of impotency victim cialis cost 20mg by impacting his body with the required dosage prescription which says what things you should know about the prostate and the process of growing older, it is not necessarily an inevitable circumstance in the actual aging process. The mineral extract is prepared in herbal solutions and the compounds undergo a series of lowest prices viagra steps of purification. Due to increased blood in the penis, your erection will be better and sildenafil 100mg tab stronger. When viagra pills wholesale these are present, then nitric oxide neurotransmitters are produced in the phallus, causing erectile function supporting cGMP enzymes to increase, and relax the reproductive muscles. * Insulin resistance disorder also is a part of metabolic syndrome, and can be one of the risk factors to cardiovascular issues as well, which is another cause of impotence.
Also, there is an element of performance anxiety as we get into our vehicles. Will we be smoothly sailing off across the ice, or….

In life and when you are a star on ice, it is good to remember that one must first see the steps before one can take them. I have cleared the back steps. Now I can take out the garbage and recycling. Keeping the house peaceful is now easier.

Tuesday, we will take my art up to Gallery Vertigo in Vernon to hang on the members wall and in March I will put work up in the Mission library. http://www.galleryvertigo.com

January will be a wonderful time of teaching classes and showing others how much fun exploring the world of creativity is. http://web.ubc.ca/okanagan/continuingstudies/welcome.html

It is not nearly as challenging as skating on ice.

Yesterday, awoke to find a picture had sold from the show that isn’t even open yet. The Pine Beetle Express arrived in the mail and I was so happy to see who had joined me between the covers. I got a ping back from a UK company that posts best language in blogs, a German artist who won a digital show in Chicago left a laudatory comment about my work, I was asked to introduce Gary Geddes when he speaks at the Okanagan Institute, the Designyourwall.com site put me up as a feature artist. When I was invited onto Greg, the owner’s site, I discover that he has done the wallpaper, vinyl etc. for dozens of popular movies.

After years of slogging, so much came together in just one day. I woke up twice with just sheer excitement. Today, the opening of my show.
