Dear Friends,

My recent flash exhibition at Visual Space was a great success. The small, tightly curated group of related works was held over three days in the small but elegant space. The paintings were professionally hung by Brandon Thiessen art services and looked wonderful.

Many good friends attended. Please see the wonderful photos below, taken by Yukiko Onley and Jasmine Allaire.

Georgia Straight was gracious enough to both print my ad and feature my show as a “Straight Choice”, which brought in a large number of delightful people each day, including several long-time fans who I met for the first time. They had seen my work advertised over the years in Canadian Art and in Preview art magazine. I was also pleased to meet other friends with whom I had lost touch, some art collectors and even tourists. Preview also published a review of the exhibit online.

The reception Saturday evening was catered brilliantly by up-and-coming young Vancouver chef Hans Berg. If you’re planning an event, call me for his email!

Now I’m having fun updating my website, marking the paintings that are sold and posting these photos with my website designer, Kits Media

I hope to have a similar flash shows of new work from the series Nocturne in the late spring, and from Paintings of the Sun in the late fall, 2014. I would like to send you email announcements when the dates are set, and if you would like a printed invitation to the next reception, please send me your postal address.

It was great fun to share my work with you and hear what you had to say about the paintings. If you were unable to come, I missed you, and I hope to see you next spring! For those who follow my work online, thank you for taking the time to pay attention to my work. I hope to travel to see you before too long and we can meet for coffee, or a glass of good red wine.

With affection and respect, David
