The Port Carling show I have been told was and is, apparently a success. I was not able to attend because of family circumstances which thankfully turned out to be nothing serious. I want to thank the staff at Muskoka Emporium and Deborah Usher (Arabella Magazine) for representing my work at the show which was well-attended. There is much interest in the Wild Horses series apparently.

A note to Mrs. Copeland: Thank-you for contacting Progressive Fine Art to have the piece purchased by your parents appraised. Although the piece is 30 years old, it nonetheless is a hit with the Progressive staff. One staffer asked me if I was painting "in diapers" (I wish)-I said I was finger-painting as long as I can remember. Come to think of it, I'm pretty well still doing what I started back in Miss Gillie's kindergarten at Essex Street Public School in 1960-only with better paint!
