Thinking of Mark


We've been thinking of Mark this weekend
who is participating in a show at the wonderful McMichael Gallery
in Kleinburg..
If you're nearby
do go and drop by.....you'll love his work.


I love these trees on a rocky shore.


And just look at how he makes that water sparkle.


Mark is brilliant at bringing water to life....


Mark is a Pisces.....


You'd think that his family would have put two and two together....


But no, it took a stranger wandering into Mark's gallery
"The Artist's Den" in Collingwood
to point that out!

  2. The sunlight dancing on the water is just amazing! I know that you're a proud momma, but then again, you have every right to be!!

    Thanks for a brilliant three days in TO!! I know that I'm not the most obedient student in class, but then again, I'm confident that you don't really mind. That's what makes you so special! I'll try to post about the class a little later today.

  16. I would say the apple didn't fall far from the tree with your son - his work is so inspiring. How I wish I could have gone to that show! (ps. is he going to be at the One of A Kind show this year?)
