It’s officially summer today. FAN-tastic!

When you get too hot, take a peek at my plethora of winter/birch paintings. Last winter was a doozy, and I found myself painting snow and trees alot. Now I’ve got to get moving on my New Zealand series, which is hard to describe. I left here to visit a friend in (our) Spring, only to find myself in (their) fall. So it’s a bit of a mindbender. The weather was perfect. The landscapes heartstoppingly beautiful. The beaches, the sheep (we called them ‘little clouds on hills’), the live music; it all went into the inspiration hopper.

NEXT show: Queen West Art Crawl, Sept 13-14 in Trinity Bellwoods Park, 11-6pm each day.

Don’t forget your sunscreen! xo Rea
