Nocturnes III – New Paintings of the Georgia Strait and Vancouver Harbour
Dear Friends,

The three-day “flash” exhibition and reception at the Visual Space Gallery, 3352 Dunbar Street, Vancouver, May 29-31, 2015 was a great success. To those who came and celebrated with me and who thus made the weekend so special, many thanks. Please see photos of the reception below!

Many people deserve credit: Yukiko Onley and her partners of the Visual Space Gallery created the lovely space in which to hold the exhibition. Graeme of Westart, 303 West 7th Ave, Vancouver, framed the paintings beautifully. Brandon Thiessen and his colleagues hung the show and garnered many compliments.

Mia Johnson of Kits Media designed my beautiful website and kept up with the frequent status changes for individual paintings. Chef Claire and Tammara Whelon of Chefclaires.com served wonderful food and wine. Kelsey Klassen of the Westender wrote an eloquent article about the show . I am grateful to them all!

If you couldn’t come – please take a look at the paintings at www.haughton-art.ca – or, better yet, come on out to New Westminster for a glass of wine or an iced coffee and a chance to see them on the wall. The remaining paintings from the Noctunes I, II & III have all been hung professionally by Thiessen Art Services and they look wonderful. We’ll be around this Sunday afternoon June 14th as well as several of the weekends in July.

With affection and respect,
David
