I...Jeane, it surprised me how modern they can look. I can see how they would inspire your work. It's been fun and inspiring getting to know you and I would Love to get together in person. Perhaps it's not as far off as I think!<br /><br />Margaret, what a lovely conversation. First of all, I loved Newfoundland when I visited too. I found the artist community to be dynamic and the views of rock and sea to be both fresh, exciting and familiar at the same time. There is a certain feel to the Maritimes. How wonderful to have been to Monet's gardens as well. Art can make me cry too. I think the tears may be a common reaction of a sensitive artist. Seems like we've found our tribe.<br /><br />Regina, thanks for sharing that. Art will affect me like that too. I didn't cry at this exhibit since I didn't have the chance for intimacy with that piece. The security guard took a liking to my mother and was very chatty which altered the experience but it ended up being a great thing anyway since he sent for someone who is trained in art history to give us an outstanding tour. <br /><br />Mika, thank you. You live in Toronto, don't you? Ontario for sure. I have family there. Another wonderful place :)<br /><br />Gwen, I found out about the show last second or I would have promoted it. Sorry about the tease. Yes, they do have a beautiful place and it feels good to reset mind and body away from the city.<br /><br />DJ, thank you! I have a feeling this is going to be a great year. I hope you find the simplicity you're looking for.<br /><br />Robyn, It does look like my paintings doesn't it? Good. I tried to compose the photo that way in the hopes of inspiring many paintings :)<br /><br />Neva, we both do that with our photos, don't we? I've noticed some of your photos look like your work. What goes in changes how we see. What goes out changes how we see.<br /><br />Leslie, small towns have such creative advantages. This museum is a two hour drive away and the first time the Impressionists' paintings toured Canada they wouldn't come to New Brunswick. So my city isn't big enough to attract that kind of show and the capital of the province can do so only once in a blue moon. Hah! Literally- the show was there during the blue moon. Maybe during the next blue moon the Impressionists will show near enough to you.<br /><br />Megan, thank you. Best wishes for oodles of creativity continuing to come your way.<br /><br />Bridgette, thank you and best wishes to you. Just catching up on your blog I could see that 2010 is going to be a very exciting year for you!<br /><br />Egmont, thank you and best wishes to you.<br /><br />Bindu, thanks. I'm looking forward to another year reading about your hikes in such beautiful places. Kindest wishes to you.<br /><br />Tracy, how nice to see you back again and all "heart fuzzy." Heh, heh, that's cute. Thanks for your comments and best wishes. May you have many blessings ahead of you.<br /><br />Jane, that's exactly it and how lucky you are to have greater access to them.<br /><br />M. Kate, that's so sweet. You touched my heart. I've loved my journey with you too. Best wishes for you and your family as well.Shaylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06235571582758248746noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-85765782297531187102010-01-06T23:46:12.129-04:002010-01-06T23:46:12.129-04:00Happy 2010 to you and your love ones Shayla, it...Happy 2010 to you and your love ones Shayla, it's been an awesome journey knowing you..lots of love/MAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16402753481785047700noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-69724852708118324842010-01-05T15:46:21.981-04:002010-01-05T15:46:21.981-04:00Happy new year!

The first time I saw the work of Monet and Van Gogh (I'm lumping him in here althought I know his work to be post impressionist)was at the MET in New York. I was 19 and I cried. This was the first work I saw in a museum that I recognized. I was also lucky enough to visit Monet's garden at Giverney. I strolled the paths and soaked up the flowers but it was sitting on a bench looking at the famous bridge over the waterlily pond that undid me one again. It seems I am brought to tears easily.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-61838456631552814722009-12-31T20:28:31.123-04:002009-12-31T20:28:31.123-04:00Great informations!

I wept. You have described the character of the style so very well.<br />Blessings to you in the new year. xoReginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09120688958195916028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-86635339798971111782009-12-31T16:39:07.287-04:002009-12-31T16:39:07.287-04:00Hi Shayla,

I've not been able to find many artist bloggers in Eastern Canada. <br /><br />I went to the Beaverbrook Gallery several years ago when I was in town for meetings. It's a lovely space. Have a happy New Year and I look forward to following your posts in 2010.Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12726740154167156916noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4846166495427041461.post-9893437804577321422009-12-31T15:56:40.060-04:002009-12-31T15:56:40.060-04:00I do love the impressionists - big inspiration for...I do love the impressionists - big inspiration for me in many ways - Shayla, the happiest of new years to you and yours - I have loved getting to know you in cyberspace and hope someday we can meet in person - love from here :)Jeane Myershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07027843717050683473noreply@blogger.com
