Last Friday I went to Annapolis Royal. I had some work in a group show at the Leslie Erickson Gallery. I hadn’t wanted to go. It’s a long drive and I had to teach in the morning, from 8:30 am to 12:30 pm. But it ended up being a memorable visit. I stayed with Wayne Boucher and Terry Roscoe. Lila was a good traveler and an energetic guest, terrorizing their dog and cat and looking for trouble in every corner of their house. But they are very relaxed people and it was contagious for both Lila and myself.
The exhibit was good; the opening reception crowded and lively. I enjoyed meeting the other artists, seeing new work. After the reception some friends of Wayne and Terry came over. The next day we went to their friend’s house and swam in the lake. And later had brunch. By the time I left I felt very mellow. Sometimes I don't realize how tense I've been until I relax!
Some reasons why I enjoyed being there:
