HAPPY NEW YEAR 2012
 
Very excited about this year....lots of exciting things coming up.  I will start with our month in Mexico...(photos below).  Lots of sun, sand, surf and great people.  Three foot iguanas, coconut harvest, catching fish, snorkeling, palapa surf shack.  On the art front both Arnt and I have several commissions and art projects to complete by May 1.  We then move to Amsterdam for 6 months where I have a show in October and will be creating the work there, but mostly we are going for inspiration, knowledge and to live as artists in another country.  I will keep you posted on that front.  But for now I am part of www.firstsaturday.ca for Feb and Mar, 4 fairly large pieces commissioned by Taymor Industries for their head office and the International College Exchange in New Zealand.  I just mailed my book for http://www.arthousecoop.com/projects/sketchbookproject2012  which will tour 14 cities and be in Vancouver May 15 & 16th at W2.  So you can see why I am looking forward to this year.
