Congratulations Kathy and John

We certainly were given a great exhibit of artwork from Kathy Beatty and John David Anderson. Congratulations to both artists for mounting such a successful exhibit. Surely, it is going to be a front-runner for "Exhibit of the Year 2011".
Well done!
David Bruce Johnson

There was a wonderful math teacher who attended Haliburton School of the Arts some years ago. Through her Russian accent I made out that she felt she was in the wrong place when she came to my Plein Air Into Oil Painting class. Day two ended with,"I think I have a head ache. Day three was tough too. Day four, a break through...day five, an epiphany. "I 'll never be and artist" she claimed..."but, I know better, how to see." It all about learning how to see with a freshness of discovery - every time.
