I hope everyone survived the winter unscathed and looking forward to glorious spring. I just returned from a trip to Rwanda and Uganda where we did treks to see the wild mountain gorillas in Rwanda and chimpanzees in Uganda. It was a fabulous trip. There is nothing more thrilling than to gaze into the amber eyes of these magnificent primates at 8 feet. The 5 hour slog in the mud up the volcanoes certainly enhances the experience. I am hoping to paint some of my impressions of these two beautiful countries sometime soon.

I will be participating again this year in the Victoria Sketch and Painting Show which will be held in the Glenlyon Norfolk School Gymnasium, 1701 Beach Drive, March 15 - 20. Opening Reception is Tues, Mar. 15 from 7 - 9 pm. Show hours are Wed. Mar. 16 - Sat. Mar. 19 from 10 - 7 and Sun, Mar. 20 from 10 - 4.

I hope you will all be able to make this very well attended art show as there will be over 100 paintings exhibited as well as many drawings and sketches.
