This year’s Artist Project was quite the show. This was my 3rd year attending and it was, by far, the busiest. Where they said that in the past the usual attendance was 15,000 visitors, I have no doubt that it exceeded 20,000 this year.
While I did not do as well as last year, there was still a lot of interest in my work. My paintings are a real contrast to most of what is exhibited in this hugely modernist show. There is always a segment of the audience that appreciates the “romantic” view of our rural southern Ontario that form the backbone of my collection.
