Downtown Date SOLD

This one started (way back in July) when the

 Art Gallery of Greater Victoria invited me

 to participate in their first ever Paint-In the Square, 

(in honor of the city of Victoria's 150th Anniversary).

The event's on site coordinator and all round fantastic guy,

 Ben Fast, recorded his take on the day here .

The building in this painting is Victoria's City Hall, 

which is beside the "Paint-In the Square's", 

Centennial Square. As I painted the building
 these two figures appeared on the canvas.

(Linnyland paintings evolve to include 

whatever shows up on the canvas while I paint.)

 And, I just learned that beautiful Melanie listened carefully

 as I explained how this sort of thing occurs in 

Linnyland paintings, with her kind words she has

 described it here . 
I love her description,"heart-centered", 

which has me thinking of how fortunate

 I am to enjoy heart connections

 with art blog buds like you!

To all of you on my blog roll, 

(and others who check in here)

 thank-you for your blog budness,

 your heart connections

 and your beautiful art, too!
