I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to everyone who attended my exhibits in May. The whole process of setting up the galleries and hosting everyone was a terrific event and a memory I will always treasure. And thank you to all who could not come but wished me well in this adventure.

A special thanks to everyone who pitched in when I had gallery-running-greatness thrust upon me: who painted, swept, organized, mopped, entertained and supervised, and to my daughter Geneva, who spent several weekends doing homework and chatting up potential patrons and friends at the gallery.
Thank you to the hundred or so people who responded to my interview on North by Northwest with Sheryl MacKay and came from as far as Victoria to climb the stairs and experience the sadness and beauty of the Kindertotentanz works. Ms. MacKay is a wonderful interviewer, and I was surprised just how many people are awake listening to CBC at 0720 on a rainy Sunday morning.

Thank you, most emphatically and deeply, to Lyne, who did so much work this month and who, through her calm support and resolve, allowed the exhibit to happen when catastrophe struck and panic could have ensued. Lyne is a most exceedingly wonderful partner that I can only strive to deserve.
On Thursday I'm off to Greece for the third of my exhibits this spring, Fragments of the Sea: Watercolors and Acrylics of the Greek Landscape at the Skoufa Gallery in Athens. Please take a moment to view the work online at www.haughton-art.ca/new_work/greece.htm The show is a benefit for a wonderful program in Athens that gave me my single most exciting year of education. There are many lovely and inexpensive watercolors in the exhibit. I hope you will be interested in acquiring a piece while at the same time supporting the school.
With affection, David
