January 12, 2014

In a little more than a week, Jim and I will be in India.  We invite you all to travel with us vicariously.  From our blogs, it often seems as if we are on totally different adventures so you might want to check out Jim's blog as well as mine.  http://wyattjim.blogspot.ca/2009_03_01_archive.html 

Before we leave, one of my volunteer projects is coming to fruition after four years of work.
"Capture; 2014,  Nova Scotia Realism" is an exhibition which I helped instigate and it opens on Thursday January 16, at 8 pm at the Dalhousie Art Gallery 6101 University Ave, Halifax.
You are all invited.  This exhibition had an open call and over one hundred professional Nova Scotian artists applied.  Our curators,  Tom Smart and Peter Dykhuis selected a long list of forty-three artists and all of these were giving studio visits last summer.  From the studio visits,  twenty-eight artists were selected for the exhibitionopening.   The exhibition runs until March 9, 2014 (Tuesday to Friday 11 until 5 and weekends noon until 5) and then hopefully it will travel.  You can check out the works at
