Gone but not forgotten

To be truthful, I have never been a Michael Jackson fan. Growing up in Japan, my first introduction to his music was having to study the lyrics of We Are The World in English class.

I was inspired to paint this painting because of MJ's enormous iconic pop culture influence. That jacket, that pose - recognizable across the planet.

Beaches Arts and Crafts Show

This weekend I am showing at the Toronto Beaches Arts and Crafts Show. The weather and the turnout have been wonderful thus far.

This is my first outdoor show this year and also the first time I have displayed at Kew Gardens so I carefully prepared and double checked my show set-up list. I set up the tent Friday evening and carried in my paintings Saturday morning and "ha!" I realized that I had forgotten all of my cat paintings and cat prints. Oops. Well they will be on display tomorrow.
